What Do You Want From Me?

Mark Owen appeared on the March 11, 2010 cover of The Sun in a story that salaciously detailed his infidelities. He was given 24 hours beforehand to warn his wife Emma that the story would be running. Owen explained to Q magazine why he included this self-penned song on the record: "Even now part of me is going, Maybe it doesn't have to be on there. It's a song that's always going to be related to a time in my life that was very difficult. But there's another part of me that goes, It's something that I can move on from after that track. I spoke to Emma about it." The Q interviewer asked how she reacted. Owen replied: "Different ways, really. The thing is, the song was written before… everything came about. It was written as an optimistic song and then when everything happened it took on a different connotation. I have to keep reminding myself that it was written looking ahead at a future together. There's mixed feelings in my stomach and stuff about it. Do I need to put myself through that? But then it's good to confront things and be open. My hope for me, and my relationship with Emma, is in that song. I do want us to grow old together. I do fancy her. Those feelings are there. But it's difficult because of what it brings up."
