The English singer and songwriter Gary Barlow has recorded songs for three solo studio albums, a joint album and has also collaborated with other artists on their respective singles. In 1996, Take That, a boy band consisted of five members, including Barlow, disbanded after 6 years recording music together. Three months after the release of their then-final single, the singer launched his solo debut song, "Forever Love"; it was written solely by Barlow and featured more mature sound than the work previously released by Take That. [1] The single has been succeeded by Barlow's 1997 debut studio album, Open Road , a primary pop and blue-eyed soul oriented record. [2] It was mainly written and composed by Barlow himself; however, he listed some songwriters in the penning process. American entertainer Madonna and producer Shep Pettibone wrote "Love Won't Wait" for the album, although it was originally planned for a Madonna project, which she later abandoned. [3] Barlow worked with American songwriter Dianne Warren with whom he co-wrote the song "My Commitment" for the album. Howard Perdew and Andy Spooner wrote "So Help Me Girl", a single for which Barlow recorded a Spanish-language version titled "Ayúdame" (English: Help Me). [2]

In 1998 the singer released Open Road in America with a slightly altered track listing. For that version of the record, he collaborated with Swedish producers Max Martin and Kristian Lundin and co-wrote the track "Superhero".
