🎵 [SONG INFO]

"Back for Good" is a song by the British pop group Take That.
It was released in 1995 as a single from Nobody Else and achieved great success in many countries, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Spain and the UK where it topped the charts.
The song went on to reach the No. 1 spot in over 30 nations, making it the most successful song ever recorded by a boyband.

Song information

Written by Gary Barlow, who also sang the lead vocal on the track, it was their sixth UK chart-topper, and their only US top ten hit.

It was initially unveiled at the 1995 BRIT Awards, and such was the demand for the single that the release date was brought forward and the song made available to the media an unprecedented six weeks before release.

It was released on 27 March 1995 and entered the UK singles chart at number one, selling nearly 350,000 copies in its first week.
This was one of the fastest selling singles of the year, selling almost as many as the rest of the top 10 that week added together.

It remained at number one for four weeks.
It is their biggest selling single in the UK, with sales of 1,055,000 up to 30 May 2010.
The song won Best British Single at the 1996 Brit Awards.
The song would later reach number seven on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart, Take That's only charting US single.

The song was a big hit in Brazil, during the years of 1995 and 1996, due to soap-opera "Explode Coração" on which the song appeared as one of the main songs on the TV show's soundtrack.

Robbie Williams recorded a live version, which was a b-side to his 1998 single Angels.
The song was featured on the final episode of the second series of "Spaced", in which Tim, Brian, and Mike, along with Mike's Territorial Army buddies, attempt to play the song for Marsha, ala boombox scene from "Say Anything...".
It also featured in the final episode of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's The Office as a love theme for characters Tim (Martin Freeman) and Dawn (Lucy Davis).

Gary Barlow stated on ITV1's An Audience With Take That Live broadcast on 2 December 2006 that there were 89 recorded versions of the song by other artists. The song has received a Platinum sales status certification in the UK.

"Back for Good" was covered by Boyz II Men for their Love album.

Coldplay performed this song with Gary Barlow at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London in aid of War Child in 2009.
