"Mixed Signals" is a song recorded by English singer Robbie Williams for his eleventh studio album, The Heavy Entertainment Show (2016). It was written by American band The Killers and was produced by Stuart Price. Influenced by 1980s music, "Mixed Signals" is a pop rock and soft rock song accompanied with synthesizers usually present in tracks from the 2000s. It received generally favourable reviews from music critics who highlighted the song on the album and compared it to the previous works by The Killers.
An accompanying music video for "Mixed Signals", filmed in Shoreditch, East London and directed by Ross Anderson, was released in late February 2017. It features Williams trying to get in touch with his love interest, whilst she is out partying around the city. Two alternative videos, with different endings, featuring the singer's real life wife Ayda Field and English singer Gary Barlow were also released. Williams performed "Mixed Signals" at the 2017 Brit Awards in a medley with "The Heavy Entertainment Show" and "Love My Life".
"Mixed Signals" was written by Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer and Ronnie Vannucci Jr., collectively known better as The Killers. It was produced by British electronic musician and producer, Stuart Price. Talking to The Sun, Williams recalled the first time when he heard the song, "I was at Stuart Price’s house and he’d just been working with Brandon [Flowers] and played me this song. He said, ‘Have a listen to this.’ And all the way through it I was thinking, ‘I want this song.’" Eventually, the band gave the song to Williams and let him record it for his eleventh studio album, The Heavy Entertainment Show (2016).
