These Days

These Days

Take That

The first single and the first track of III. It’s the first song to feature the group as a trio, after Jason’s departure. It debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, becoming the group’s 12th UK number one.

Critics reacted positivity at the song:

Produced by Kurstin, the first single and current UK No 1 These Days is so good it manages to overcome Gary Barlow’s weird American accent, which crops up in the first verse. Brilliantly cheesy and shamelessly aiming for the heart of the disco revival, it’s the perfect example of pop absorbing a trend that already feels like it’s on the way out. Sure to become a wedding disco staple – not least so people can replicate the dad dancing displayed on their recent X Factor performance – it’s a euphoric opener that seems to encapsulate the album’s themes of grabbing life by the lapels and giving it a good shake."
