Life Thru A Lens was the first solo album by English pop singer Robbie Williams after his former band Take That split. The single "Angels" became very successful around Europe. The two most successful singles on the album, "Old Before I Die" and "Let Me Entertain You", also reached high positions in European charts. It is reported that the track "Life Thru A Lens" was written about Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and "Ego A Go Go" is said to be about Gary Barlow.^{[citation needed]}
