"Win Some Lose Some" is a song by English recording artist Robbie Williams. It was released in New Zealand in May 2000 as the fifth and last single from his second studio album, I've Been Expecting You (1998). Nicole Appleton of English girl group All Saints provides the "I love you baby" telephone voice on the song.

Even before its physical release, "Win Some Lose Some" reached the top 10 in New Zealand on airplay alone, peaking at number seven after the CD single was issued; it spent four weeks inside the top 10 and 21 weeks overall on the chart. The song was included on the New Zealand version of Williams' Greatest Hits album in 2004.[2]
