In Your Own Time

In Your Own Time is the second solo studio album by British singer Mark Owen. The album was released on 3 November 2003, by Island Records. In Your Own Time features a more mature pop rock sound, shifting away from the Britpop sound of his debut album.
Critical reception
The album received mixed to positive reviews. A reviewer from MusicOMH favorably compared the album to the work of folk rock musician Jeff Buckley, saying that Owen had been "clearly listening" to his music, and that listeners would realise this if they would remove their preconceptions about Owen.
Commercial performance
The album failed to match the success of his debut album, where it did not chart anywhere outside of the United Kingdom. The album peaked at number 59 on the UK Albums Chart, and stayed in the charts for only one week, with sales of 17,805 copies sold in the UK. In Scotland, the album charted at number 46.

The song also reached number 37 in Ireland and number 52 in the Netherlands. Owen performed the song live on several shows, including Top of the Pops, CD:UK and The Graham Norton Show.
