Take That have given their new single 'The Flood' its world premiere.

The track, debuted on BBC Radio 1 this morning (October 8), is the group's first song in fifteen years with Robbie Williams.

The singer opens the song, before handing over vocal duties to band mate Gary Barlow.

Fans have reacted positively to the song on Twitter, with one user describing it as “epic”.

Another said: “LOVED THE FLOOD!!!! soo good...great to have the boys back!!”

'The Flood' is the first single to be taken from the group's forthcoming new album, 'Progress'. It was recorded alongside producer Stuart Price in New York last September.

Williams announced his intention to rejoin Take That in July. He said the reformation felt like “coming home”.
