My Take is his take on his childhood, breaking into the music scene, his years in Take That, after the band split, going solo and culminating in the reformation of the Take That to phenomenal success.

Barlow had stated that he had begun writing 'a thin thing' that would have been nothing more than a collection of stories about his days in Take That, his time as a solo artist and his profession since he left the public spotlight, songwriting and producing for artists across the music scene.

[1] He stated that this short book was originally titled Backstage for Good, referencing his fall from superstardom during the late 1990s and how he no longer felt comfortable in the media spotlight, preferring to focus on his family and songwriting.

He also visited Waterstones where he stayed to meet, pose for pictures and speak with every single person that had come for a book to be signed.

This chapter describes the aftermath and chaos of what happened that day; according to Barlow it changed the way he viewed his life.
