"Child" is the debut solo single of Take That band member Mark Owen, released on 18 November 1996. It was the first single to be released from Owen's debut album, Green Man (1996). He told in an interview, "It was the first song I wrote, and while I was writing the others I always knew it was going to be the first."[1] "Child" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, making it Owen's joint-most-successful single of his solo career. It was certified silver and sold over 200,000 copies. The song reached number one in Lithuania, Spain, and Taiwan and peaked within the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ireland, and Switzerland.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media described "Child" as "a subtle ballad, full of genuine emotions, which will pull everyone's heartstrings."[2] A reviewer from Music Week rated it five out of five, adding, "Already one of the favourites for the Christmas number one slot, this ballad has hints of early Seventies John Lennon and should appeal to the teenies and their parents. A surefire hit."[3] Pop Rescue stated that "it’s a great song, that orchestrally, lyrically, and vocally shines here."[4]
