Interesting facts and trivia about When We Were Young. By Songfacts®.

The second single by the British Pop group Take That from their first EP, Progressed, features Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow on lead vocals. The song was released to radio on July 11, 2011 and made available as a digital download in the UK on August 22, 2011.

The tune also serves as the theme song for the Paul W.S. Anderson directed film adaptation of The Three Musketeers. The song was written after Take That watched a private screening of the movie. Gary Barlow stated: "The film is visually so rich and beautiful that our main challenge was to then match it musically. We've returned to guitars, real pianos and a conventional song structure to achieve this. We also thought that the Musketeers reminded us of ourselves."

The Paul Gore directed music video was shot over two nights in black and white and features Take That singing the song in a vacant, post-show Wembley arena after performing their Progress Live concerts.
