[edit] Song Information

"I'd Wait for Life" was the third single released from Beautiful World. Featuring Gary Barlow on lead vocals, the single was released internationally on June 18, 2007 as a download and CD single. Take That performed the song live on T4's Popworld for promotion on May 5, 2007. It was their first single to miss the top ten since 1992's "I Found Heaven", and ended thee band's streak of 6 consecutive number ones.

[edit] Music video

The music video for "I'd Wait for Life" had its world premiere on Channel 4 (UK) at 11.05 p.m on Wednesday May 16, 2007.

The music video features the four members of the band crashing into the water after having some sort of accident. Throughout the video as the four members emerge from the water; they're all having flashbacks from their lives before the accident.

Interestingly a common interpretation of the music video amongst fans of Take That is that the video actually is about the band-split back in 1996, and how the four band members felt about the split afterwards. Also when the four of them are getting out of the water at the end of the music video, many fans believe that this illustrates when the band reunited again in 2006. However, this is only speculation.

[edit] Chart Performance

One week before the official release, the single charted at 109 on the UK Singles Chart, but jumped to number 17 after the singles official release. It slipped out of the Top 40 the second week.^[1]
