This Life is the ninth studio album by English pop band Take That. It is the first album released after their greatest hits album Odyssey, and their first studio album in over six years. The album was released on 24 November 2023.[1]

Background

This Life was announced on 22 September 2023, along with the release of its lead single "Windows" and an announcement of an ensuing tour. The announcement was made on The Radio 2 Breakfast Show with the debut of "Windows". Barlow said of the album, "We made most of the album in Savannah in Georgia, so it had that [American] South sort of influence to it, and it's strange how an environment actually comes out in the music as well."[2] Other portions of the album were recorded in Nashville and New York City.[3]

An accompanying UK tour was announced on 22 September, with tickets going on sale on 29 September. English singer Olly Murs will be the supporting act.[1]
