What was Take That’s first single, released in 1991?

The story behind the answer

Take That’s first single, released in 1991, was “Do What U Like.”

The song was issued as the Manchester group’s debut single in July 1991. It introduced Take That before the band achieved its breakthrough with later releases such as “Pray,” “Relight My Fire,” and “Babe.”

“Do What U Like” reached number 82 on the UK Singles Chart. Its modest chart performance contrasts sharply with the group’s later success: Take That became one of the United Kingdom’s most commercially successful boy bands of the 1990s.

A common mix-up is identifying “Promises” as the debut. “Promises” was Take That’s second single, released later in 1991. “Pray,” meanwhile, became the group’s first UK number-one single in 1993 and helped establish the band as a major pop act.
