"Forever Love" is a song by British singer-songwriter Gary Barlow, taken from his debut solo album, Open Road (1997). Released on 8 July 1996 as Barlow's first single outside Take That, it debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart six days later, becoming Barlow's first of three solo number-one singles. Worldwide, "Forever Love" also topped the charts in Lithuania, Spain and Taiwan, while reaching the top five in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland. The song was used as the official theme for the film The Leading Man (1996).
The single's cover was a portrait done by Norman Watson for the April 1996 cover of Arena magazine. This issue became the fastest-selling in the magazine's history and as a result the image was chosen as the debut artwork.
