"Back for Good" is a song by British boy band Take That. Written and co-produced by lead singer Gary Barlow, it was released in 1995 as the second single from the band's third studio album, ''Nobody Else''. The song topped the UK Singles Chart, and achieved great success in many countries around the world, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Spain and the United States. The song went on to reach number one in over 31 countries. ==Background== Written by Gary Barlow, who also sang lead vocals on the track, it was their sixth UK chart-topper, and their only US top ten hit. Barlow claims he wrote the song in fifteen minutes. 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. The song appeared on most releases in a slightly remixed form, which added some extra instrumentation including additional drum beats. Some releases featured both radio and album versions. 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. Group member Robbie Williams also recorded a Hard Rock 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, a la the 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. "Back for Good" was covered by Boyz II Men for their ''Love'' album, by The Wedding Present for their ''How the West Was Won'' album, and by The Concretes on the ''Guilt by Association Vol. 1'' compilation. Coldplay performed the song with Gary Barlow at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London in aid of War Child in 2009. The song's popularity, and perceptions of its quality, led to an urban myth that it had secretly been written by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees. Gibb later commented that he had "never even heard" the song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Back for Good」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
