June 16Jun 16 I posted this article back in April where he was working with some guy in LA ...Scouting For Girls star Roy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's 'biggest song' to dateScouting For Girls star Roy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's "biggest song" to date.Wednesday, April 23, 2025 8:00 AMScouting For Girls star Roy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's 'biggest song' to dateRoy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's "biggest song" to date. The 46-year-old musician - who is best known as the frontman of Scouting For Girls - has been writing with Mark Owen, and explained that the Take That star thinks that despite his decades in the industry alongside bandmates Gary Barlow and Howard Donald, the best is yet to come. He told The Daily Star newspaper's Wired column: "I did a writing session with Mark Owen from Take That over here (LA) and it was so inspiring because he's achieved so much. It's the biggest boyband to ever come out of the UK, like wha more could they achieve? "But literally he started the session going, 'I still don't think we've written our biggest song, we still have more to achieve, I still think we can write the biggest song ever, so yeah it was quite humbling but inspiring."It was amazing to work with him because he was really like, 'This isn't good enough, this isn't it, we could do better than that.' It was really hard work because he was so demanding about how good it had to be."Roy also noted working with a Take That member comes with a certain type of perstige but then it is all a breeding ground for songwriting talent in the end because of how it spreads on social media. He said: "You'll do an incredible session and be like, 'Yes got that!' but then I am following other songwriters on Instagram like, 'Oh he's in with Mark Owen, he's in with Mark Owen, oh fing hell, Mark Owen's working with a lot of people!"Meanwhile, in the late 2000s, Roy found fame himself alongside Greg Churchouse and James Rowlands and they enjoyed success with hits such as 'She's So Lovely' and 'This Ain't A Love Song'.Ahead of the release of a 15th anniversary edition of their album 'Everybody Wants To Be On TV' and a tour set to begin next year, Roy noted that the thing he is still most proud of is knocking Lady Gaga off the top of the UK charts when they were at the height of their fame. He said: "I probably mention that at most dinner parties. "It's quite funny, especially as I'm working and living in LA and nobody knows who Scouting For Girls are... "So I do say, 'Yeah, we were No1, we knocked Lady Gaga off' and you can see them go like, 'Is this guy for real?"Scouting For Girls star Roy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's 'biggest song' to date | BANG Premier
June 16Jun 16 While i would love it to be true in that Take That will achieve their biggest song to date i just cant see it happening or even coming close, they will never come near the success they have had a few times now with big hits and if im honest the material they have released in the last few years doesn't come anywhere near close, leaving aside they arent a singles act anymore even if they were they haven't released anything that sounds like a big hit for a long time.While chart glory would be nice i would simply settle for them going back to the style of beautiful world/the circus era or just their traditional sounds they became so huge with.

I actually really liked their last album & I would not call myself a TT fan but I thought it was fresh & really different & pleased they took a change in direction.I have only recently listened to some of Mark Owens solo work & it's actually really good .
June 17Jun 17 They are an amazing tour/live act and never disappoint.It would be nice to see them even achieve some appearances on the singles chart just to boost their entries if nothing else but it wont happen to often, releasing albums gives them the big touring opportunities which is where their main success is now but as i have previously said i would love to get an album from them that i can be excited about and really enjoy which hasnt happened for me for a while and likewise with Garys solo albums, since i saw you last was fantastic but everything else has been disappointing where Mark is the opposite as his solo music for me gets stronger.
