"Rule the World" is a song by English pop band Take That. It was released as the fifth single from their fourth studio album ''Beautiful World'' (2006). It was released in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2007 via digital download and as a CD single the following day. Take That performed the song at the London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony whilst the Olympic Flame was extinguished. Because the song was written for the 2007 fantasy film ''Stardust'', the song was submitted for consideration at the 80th Academy Awards for Best Original Song but was not nominated. ==Background== "Rule the World" is the first song written by Take That specifically for a film. Matthew Vaughn, the director of ''Stardust'', contacted Take That in the hope of getting them to write a song for the film. After seeing the film the band members agreed to write and perform a song. The band wrote the chorus of the song while they were in Spain. They played the song for Matthew Vaughn who included it in the end credits of the film. Gary Barlow performs lead vocals. The song is not included on the soundtrack for ''Stardust'', nor on the original release of the album ''Beautiful World''. It was released internationally exclusively as a single in October 2007, and was premiered live by the band at the inaugural National Movie Awards on 28 September 2007 to rave reviews and critical acclaim. It ended 2007 as the year's 5th biggest-selling single in the UK, despite being released just two months from the end of the year. The song was also the 44th best selling single in the UK of 2008, the following year, and the 16th best selling single in Ireland in 2007. The full-length version appears exclusively on the Tour Souvenir Edition of the album ''Beautiful World''. The song was the finale to the ''The Circus Tour'' in 2009. This song was also performed on 19 November 2009 for Children in Need on "Children In Need Rocks The Royal Albert Hall", where Gary Barlow dedicated it to his father, who had died 5 weeks earlier. Opera singer Camilla Kerslake, a protégée of Gary Barlow, has recorded the song on her eponymous debut album as "Il Mondo è Nostro" ("The World Is Ours"). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rule the World」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
