Mau dalam formasi lima, empat, bahkan tiga sekalipun, Take That tetap perkasa. Ini buktinya, 'These Days' yang dirilis pasca pengunduran diri Jason Orange, juga Robbie Williams untuk kedua kalinya dari grup meroket ke puncak tangga lagu di UK. Meskipun sempat merasa galau akan hal tersebut. Gary-Mark, dan Howard malah mantap menambah koleksi lagu no.1 mereka menjadi total 12 buah.
Kekuatan terbesar yang menjadi alasan utama keberhasilan ini adalah nama mereka. Take That berarti respect. Publik meyakini bahwa pencapaian yang boyband ini punya tak terbatas, sehingga apresiasi yang paling pantas diberikan untuk mereka adalah keberadaan di top chart. Tapi ini bukan bermaksud untuk mengecilkan kualitas karya yang mereka hasilkan. Karena lagu yang ditulis oleh trio ini bersama Jamie Norton dan Ben Mark ini punya corak yang menarik. Antara pop dan funk, dengan banyak disko dan beat yang dipastikan ear catchy. Kualitas tersebut mempermudah penerimaan lagu di masyarakat.
Boyband muda seperti One Direction, Union J, dan yang lain bisa banyak belajar dari Take That bahwa growing up can wait. Menyajikan lagu dengan tingkat fun-ness yang tinggi tak langsung diasosiasikan pada ketidakmatangan, baik karya maupun kepribadian. Dan yang terpenting adalah eksistensi meski jumlah personel kian berkurang. Every now and then boybands come and go, but they remain.

LYRIC
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Cry away the sadness in your eyes
And I can find a faith in days I've wasted
Been around enough to feel alive
And when the world is broken, hard and colder
No one ever knows the reason why
For the ones we may become
For the battles we have won
For the day we reach the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight
When you dream of a dream
And you live in the world
Every hope is a hope
For the best don't want you rest on my bones
And you're calling me now
I will see you all the time
Should be out there living the life
And not just watching you
Take me back
Before we all explode
Before we turn to stone
Before the light is gone
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before they take us over
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we'll remember
We'll remember these days
What a day to believe
To believe in the night
Want a date to belong, to a face in the crowd to the beat of your heart
And the moment begin
And you're working it out
And you're holding us all
In your hands, don't want you waiting for
Take me back
Before we lose control
Before the tables turn
Before we break it off
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before they take us over
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we'll remember
We'll remember these days
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Cry away the sadness in your eyes
And I can find a faith in days I've wasted
Been around enough to feel alive
And when the world is broken, hard and colder
No one ever knows the reason why
For the ones we may become
For the battles we have won
For the day we reach the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we'll remember
We'll remember these days
Tonight, tonight, we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we'll remember
We'll remember these days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days
