Take That are back! Boy band set for first new single in five years with Robbie and Jason involved

Take That have announced details of their new single, marking the iconic boyband's first new material in five years.

The trio have been on a five-year long hiatus and are said to be working on their ninth studio album, following the release of Wonderland in 2017.

Fans of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen will be thrilled to find out their new single is coming in just a matter of days, with a music video to accompany it.

There's reportedly a special addition to the track too, as former Take That members Robbie Williams and Jason Orange's vocals allegedly feature on the song.

Singer Gary, 52, has already teased the song, revealing it sounds "really different" to Take That's usual material.

"It sounds really different," Gary told the Sun. "I think 2017 was our last official new music and this one I am so excited for you to hear."

Gary confirmed that he, Mark, 51, and Howard, 55, are all "very proud" of the music they've created together, as it is "emotional and fitting for where we are now in our lives."

Gary had previously told how he was eager to get back in the studio with his bandmates, saying in 2021: "I am desperate to get back into the band if I’m honest. For us, 2023 will be a big year for Take That. It is Mark, Howard and me for the next few years."

After returning to the spotlight as a trio, Take That signed with EMI Records back in May as they set their sights on releasing new music. The UK record label has previously worked with the likes of Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.

In a statement, the band said: "It’s very clear that Jo, Rebecca and all the team at EMI share our love and passion for music, and our ambition, and we are very excited about working together."

The news comes after Gary opened up about the possibility of former Take That members Jason, 53, who left the band in 2014, and Robbie, 49, who quit in 1995 before briefly returning in 2010, re-joining the band in the future.

Gary and Mark appeared optimistic that a reunion will one day happen while appearing on Good Morning Britain earlier this year.

"When the time's right it'll happen," Gary said, before Mark added: "I'm not sure, we all hope one day it might happen."
