From Now On is the debut studio album by English recording artist Will Young. It was released by S Records on 7 October 2002, eight months after he won the first series of Pop Idol. The singer worked with a variety of writers and producers on the album, including Absolute, Cathy Dennis, Julian Gallagher, Stephen Lipson, Mike Peden, and Richard Stannard as well as Swedish musicians such as Jörgen Elofsson, David Kreuger, and Per Magnusson. Young co-wrote five songs on From Now On which also features a cover version of The Beatles' song "The Long and Winding Road", a duet with fellow Pop Idol finalist Gareth Gates.

The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, while peaking at number 11 eleven in Ireland and reaching the top thirty in Ireland and the Netherlands. It became the 18th biggest-selling of 2002 in the United Kingdom and has gone on to sell over 880,000 copies. From Now On spawned six singles, including double A-single "Anything Is Possible"/"Evergreen", United Kingdom's highest-selling single of the decade. Follow-up singles "Light My Fire" and "The Long and Winding Road" also fared well, both becoming chart toppers on the UK Singles Chart, while "Don't Let Me Down"/"You and I" peaked at number two. In 2003, the album won Young a BRIT Award for Best Breakthrough Artist,[1] while "Evergreen" received a nomination in the Song of the Year category and "Anything Is Possible" was awarded the Ivor Novello Award for Bestselling Song of 2002.
