"Sure" is a single by British boy band Take That, released as the lead single from their third studio album Nobody Else (1995). Released on 3 October 1994, it was a departure from their previous singles, having a more American, R&B sound compared to their previous, more pop/dance oriented songs. It was written by Take That's lead singer Gary Barlow with contributions from fellow band members Robbie Williams and Mark Owen. The song has received a silver disc certification and sold over 215,000 copies in the UK.
The music video was seven minutes long and is somewhat comical. It shows the band preparing for a party whilst Mark Owen is also babysitting a disruptive little girl Emma who is halting the band from getting ready. Gary Barlow is writing a song, Jason Orange is dancing, Howard Donald is preparing food and Robbie Williams emerges back from shopping. Once the song starts, the video shows a house party occurring as well as the band performing the song in vest nets against a blue backdrop.
A shorter edited version of the song exists in which music video channels play the video from where the song starts.
*Lists "Sure" on both sides of the record, however Side B plays "No Si Aqui No Hay Amor".
The single was released on 3 October 1994. Take That's previous single had stalled at number three after four consecutive number-one hits, but "Sure" went straight in at number to becoming their fifth number-one single in all. It remained at the top for two weeks, but dropped quickly thereafter. It was the 42nd best selling single of 1994 in the UK, the lowest selling number single of the year. The song was also the sixth biggest selling in Italy of 1995.
