The single was released in 65 countries around the world and topped the charts in 13 countries.[4] BackgroundFollowing the success of the album in the United Kingdom, Barlow signed a record deal with Arista records for the album to be released in America. He reworked the album for the American market and subsequently released a remixed version of "So Help Me Girl" as the lead single there. Billboard gave the American version a positive review, saying that it did not stray from Barlow's work in the group Take That. He also praised Barlow's "boyish teen-idol charm" and "flexible tenor."[5] Music videoTwo music videos were released for So Help Me Girl. The first video, accompanying the European release of the single, features Barlow taking a girl home after a night out, and waking up the next morning and realising that he has cheated on his girlfriend. He performs the majority of the song in the bedroom, before moving to a piano for the final scenes, which depict a fight between his girlfriend and the girl he took home. The second video, accompanying the American release of the single, begins with Barlow sitting alone on a bridge and throwing a rose into the water below, whilst a mysterious woman looks on. He then continues to perform the song whilst looking through the windows of a darkened house, where he spots a young girl. The video continues with Barlow walking through a lighted tunnel of moving cars, before returning to the house and performing the final line of the song to the girl personally.[6] Track listings
