In June 1998, McFadden auditioned for the new Irish male band (at the time), Westlife with Nicky Byrne and eventually both joined the group alongside Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan. McFadden left Westlife in March 2004 to spend more time with his family - he was married with two children to ex-Atomic Kitten's Kerry Katona - and to work on solo projects.
Following his departure from Westlife, McFadden released his debut solo album, Irish Son which peaked within the top 5 on both the Denmark and Ireland Albums Charts, and produced his first two No. 1 solo singles "Real to Me" in four European countries and also "Almost Here", a duet with his fiancรฉe Delta Goodrem which gained a platinum accreditation in Australia. "Like Only a Woman Can", the lead single from his second album, Set in Stone (2008), became his third No. 1 single as a solo artist. In 2010, McFadden scored his fourth No. 1 with the hit single, "Just Say So" featuring American rapper, Kevin Rudolf and gained his second Australian platinum accreditation. The single received a nomination at the 2010 ARIA Music Awards for Most Popular Australian Single.
Following the release of "Just Say So", McFadden release his third studio album, Wall Of Soundz in Australia on 23 April, 2010. The album was originally going to be released as a side-project McFadden embarked on with American songwriter Rob Conley but both decided to release it as McFadden's third solo album. It debuted at No. 27 on the ARIA Albums Chart and spent only three weeks in the ARIA top 50. "Chemical Rush" was the second single released from the album in June 2010 and peaked at No. 12 on the charts. In September 2010, McFadden released the third single titled, "Mistakes", a duet with his fiancรฉ Delta Goodrem.
On 25th February 2011, McFadden released a new single "Just The Way You Are (Drunk at the Bar)".

Brian McFadden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we first met
We used to talk all night and day
Almost perfect
But now I see you looking through me
It's like you don't know me at all
How come no one ever told me
That I could end up walking alone
Sometimes I wonder if it's gone away the love
Somehow the words got lost along the way my love
Yeah I know it's sad but it's true
We gotta rewind and start all over
Turn back to page one
Not gonna let you go
It's time to save our love
Well I'm down in the ditch like a soldier
Cause I told ya, you're worth fighting for
Oh yeah
And I don't believe that it's over
Let me show ya we can be more
Oh yeah you don't need to look into me
To see baby you are my world yeah
So let's drag ourselves though this
Cause baby losing this could be love
Sometimes I wonder if it's gone away the love
Somehow the words got lost along the way my love
Yeah I know it's sad but it's true
We gotta rewind and start all over
Turn back to page one
Not gonna let you go
It's time to save our love
Not gonna let you go

Sometimes I wonder if it's gone (gone) away (away) the love (the love)
Somehow the words got lost along the way my love

The lyrics to Brian McFadden's "Time to Save Our Love" reflect the struggle of a relationship that has lost its spark. The first verse talks about memories of when things were good, how the couple used to dance and talk all night, but now the singer feels like his partner doesn't know him at all. They've lost their connection, and the song acknowledges that sometimes love fades away without anyone even knowing it's happening. The chorus seems to be a plea to start over and save the love that's left before it's too late. The singer is fighting for the relationship, saying he's not going to let go. He knows it's sad, but he's willing to go back to the beginning and start again to get things right. The second verse reinforces this sentiment, comparing the singer's love interest to his entire world and saying they shouldn't let what they had slip away.

Remember when we used to dance
Remember the time when we used to dance together
When we first met
At the time of our first meeting
We used to talk all night and day
We used to have endless conversations
Almost perfect
Our relationship was almost perfect
But now I see you looking through me
I feel like you are no longer paying attention to me
It's like you don't know me at all
I feel like you don't understand me anymore
How come no one ever told me
I wish someone had warned me
That I could end up walking alone
I never thought I would be left alone
Sometimes I wonder if it's gone away the love
I sometimes question if our love has disappeared
Somehow the words got lost along the way my love
We lost the words to express our love along the way
Yeah I know it's sad but it's true
I am aware that it's unfortunate but real
We gotta rewind and start all over
We need to go back and begin again
Turn back to page one
We need to restart from the beginning
Not gonna let you go
I will not let you go
It's time to save our love
We need to make an effort to save our love
Well I'm down in the ditch like a soldier
I feel like I am stuck in a difficult situation
Cause I told ya, you're worth fighting for
I believe that you are worth fighting for
And I don't believe that it's over
I am not ready to give up yet
Let me show ya we can be more
I want to prove that our relationship can be better
Oh yeah you don't need to look into me
You don't need to study me to know how much you mean to me
To see baby you are my world yeah
You are everything to me
So let's drag ourselves though this
Let's get through this tough time together
Cause baby losing this could be love
Because losing this relationship could mean losing true love

Brilliant song. So sad to see how it has got such less views and how his solo career has just gone down the drain. Set in Stone was such an amazing album.
