Williams left the band in 1995 while the four remaining members completed their world tour and released a final single before splitting up in 1996. After filming a 2005 Take That: For the Record about the group and releasing a new greatest hits album, a four-piece Take That without Williams officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the UK, entitled The Ultimate Tour. On 9 May 2006, it was announced that the group were set to record new material together once again; their fourth studio album, Beautiful World, was released in 2006 and was followed up with The Circus, in 2008. The group achieved new success as a four-piece, scoring a string of chart hits across the UK and Europe while selling over 45 million records worldwide. Williams rejoined Take That in 2010 for the band's sixth studio album, Progress. Released on 15 November of that year, it was the first album of new material to feature Take That's original line-up since their 1995 album, Nobody Else. It became the fastest-selling album of the 21st century and the second fastest-selling album in British history.
In 2014, the band recorded a seventh studio album, this time as a trio without Williams and Orange. The album, titled III, was released in November 2014 and became the band's seventh number one. It was preceded by the single "These Days", which became the band's 12th number one single in the UK.
In 2011, Take That set the new record for the fastest-selling tour of all time in the UK with Progress Live, beating the previous record set by their Circus Live Tour in 2009. At the 2011 Brit Awards they won Best British Group. In 2012, Forbes named them the fifth highest-earning music stars in the world. The group performed at the London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony, playing "Rule the World" while the Olympic Flame was extinguished.

Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the night when you first stood by my side
Old friends with smiles some are here some are gone
Good memories of our senior high
Looking back we're the only couple still together
Even then I knew this love would be forever, I knew
Cause there's nobody else in the world that could love you
Nobody else in the world could love you more
Nobody could love you anymore than I do
I'm still here for you
Our lives have all changed we've come a long long way
Our faces show the lines of two young songs
And in their houses there will be pictures
Like the ones of you and me
Hope they can look back and smile just like we have done
Never once have I felt the need for another
We were strong and survived the storm in time to discover
Cause there's nobody else in the world that could love you
Anymore than I do, always here for you
Nobody else in the world could love you more
Nobody could love you anymore than I do
I'm still here for you
All of the smiles we have won
Just from looking back and reliving all the good times
And when we've been through all the pages
We just start again, oh
Cause there's nobody else in the world that could love you
Anymore than I do, always here for you
Nobody else in the world could love you more
Nobody could love you anymore than I do
I'm still here for you
The lyrics to “Nobody Else” by Take That, are an ode to enduring love. The song is filled with nostalgic reminiscence, looking back on shared experiences and memories of a long-past time, to how love perseveres. The line “looking back we’re the only couple still together, even then I knew this love would be forever, I knew,” speaks to an indomitable love that has withstood the test of time. The lyrics convey the staying power and deep connection of a relationship that has grown stronger with each passing year, something that is all too rare in modern times.
The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery, as the singer recalls flicking through old photos of “senior high” and noticing the changes wrought by time on their friends and partners. The song has some depth to it and speaks to something universal, the deep need to be loved and to love someone in return, and how that love can withstand even the most significant upheavals in our lives. The refrain “Cause there’s nobody else in the world that could love you, anymore than I do, always here for you” speaks to this universal desire for someone to be there for us come what may.

Making my way through photographs
I'm looking at old photos
Of the night when you first stood by my side
The picture I'm looking at is from the night we met
Old friends with smiles some are here some are gone
The photo has our old friends in it, some of whom are still around, some of whom are not
Good memories of our senior high
The photo brings back good memories from our high school days
Looking back we're the only couple still together
Now that I'm older and looking back at the photo, we're the only couple who is still together
Even then I knew this love would be forever, I knew
Even when we were younger, I knew our love would last forever
Cause there's nobody else in the world that could love you Anymore than I do, always here for you
There is nobody else in the world who could love you more than I do and I will always be here for you
Nobody else in the world could love you more
I love you more than anyone else in the world ever could
I'm still here for you
I'm always going to be here for you no matter what
Our lives have all changed we've come a long long way
Our lives have taken different paths and we've come a long way since that photo was taken
Our faces show the lines of two young songs
Our faces show the signs of aging, but we are still the same two people in love
And in their houses there will be pictures
Our children will have pictures in their homes
Like the ones of you and me
They will have pictures of us, just like this one
Hope they can look back and smile just like we have done
I hope our children can look back at these photos and smile, just like we are doing now
Never once have I felt the need for another
I've never felt the need to be with anyone else besides you
We were strong and survived the storm in time to discover
We went through tough times together, but we were strong enough to get through it and discover that our love is unbreakable
All of the smiles we have won
Looking at these old photos has brought smiles to our faces
Just from looking back and reliving all the good times
We are smiling because we are remembering all the good times we had
And when we've been through all the pages
When we've looked at all these old photos
We just start again, oh
We will keep reliving these good memories and our love will continue to grow stronger

I was a huge TT fan in my teens (still am tbh!) I have so many memories singing and dancing in the livingroom with my Gran to their music. My Gran passed recently and this song came on a shuffle and it honestly felt like a sign she was looking over me telling me everything was going to be okay because no one ever loved me more than she did and that she'll always be with me❤

:'-) Thank y<3u for sharing, I think you're right. It's heartwarming that your beloved Gran sends you signs & you pay attention to notice- what a bond💞
I keep finding hair elastics in my walking path (that weren't mine- laying in the sidewalk, apartment stairwell, etc public places) one a day the last several days after praying for sign that I'm not alone here- the last time I saw my Gramma was at end of a family trip, she casually gave me a few hair elastics on a safety pin..

@ֆђคภภ๏ภ Ꮛɭץรรค Aww that's lovely to hear your story too, they are definitely angels looking over us. It's the small things like that in life that really make it beautiful :) x
