They were signed by Simon Cowell and are managed by Louis Walsh. In 2008, they were declared as Republic of Ireland's ninth-richest celebrities under 30 years old and 13th in general. They garnered 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, tying with Cliff Richard and trailing behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The group has also broken a few top records, including "Music artist with most consecutive number 1's in the UK" and the "Biggest selling arena act in the Wembley Arena".
Over years of their career, Westlife's music has evolved from teen pop to a pop sound, with an emphasis on ballads. Most of the group's hits have been composed by experienced songwriters, most notably Steve Mac and Wayne Hector.
On 1 June 2008, Westlife marked their 10th anniversary with a concert in Croke Park, Dublin which saw more than 83,000 fans attending the special occasion. Music Week revealed on their website that Westlife is the official third top touring act within the years 2005–2008, while they were 7th top touring act of 2008.
They have announced that they are to split in 2012 after 14 years following a final tour.
Don't Let Me Go
Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But where do I start
Would you listen if I spoke from the heart
It's simple things
That keep us apart
You know it doesn't have to be this way
Can't you hear it in my voice
Don't let me go when I'm this low
Why can't we talk about it
Why can't we figure it out
I want to know as people grow
How do they sort it all out
Work out what love is about
So tell me now yeah I've gotta know
When this feeling I've got won't let go
Some people stop
And some people stare
I'm hearing whispers that you no longer care
Should I stay
Should I turn away
Stop playing games now you know it's not fair
Can't you hear it in my voice
You gotta listen when I say
Don't let me go when I'm this low
Why can't we talk about it
Why can't we figure it out
I want to know as people grow
How do they sort it all out
Work out what love is about
So tell me now yeah I've gotta know
When this feeling I've got won't let go
You make me think I've got this feeling for you
I've tried so hard, won't you listen to me?
Cause we can make it we can see this through
Let me start by telling you
Don't let me go when I'm this low
Why can't we talk about it
Why can't we figure it out
I want to know as people grow
How do they sort it all out
Work out what love is about
So tell me now yeah I've gotta know
When this feeling I've got won't let go
The song "Don't Let Me Go" by Westlife expresses the desperation of someone who feels like they're losing the person they love. The lyrics talk about how there's so much to say but the person doesn't know where to start. They want to be able to speak from their heart and be heard. The chorus emphasizes this thought and urges the person they're singing to, to listen to them.
The verse talks about how it's the simple things that keep them apart, and they know that it doesn't have to be this way. The person is struggling with their emotions, and their voice seems to convey this, but the other person isn't listening. This causes the person to feel low, and they beg the other person not to let them go.
The bridge talks about how the person is hearing things, that the other person no longer cares about them. They're torn between staying and leaving, but they don't want to play games anymore because it's not fair. They want to be heard and understood. The song ends on a positive note, with the person telling the other person that they can make it through if they talk things out and work out what love is all about.

So much to say
There is a lot that I want to express
But where do I start
I don't know how to begin
Would you listen if I spoke from the heart
If I were honest with you, would you give me a chance?
It's simple things
The reasons for our distance are not complicated
That keep us apart
But they are enough to push us away
You know it doesn't have to be this way
There's a chance for us to be closer than we are
Can't you hear it in my voice
My words may not say it, but my tone is pleading
You gotta listen when I say
I need you to pay attention and take me seriously
Don't let me go when I'm this low
I'm feeling vulnerable and need your support
Why can't we talk about it
We need to communicate and address our issues
Why can't we figure it out
We should be able to solve our problems together
I want to know as people grow
As we mature, I'd like to understand how relationships evolve
How do they sort it all out
How do couples work through their differences?
Work out what love is about
We need to figure out how to maintain a strong relationship
So tell me now yeah I've gotta know
Please be honest with me and answer my questions
When this feeling I've got won't let go
My emotions are overwhelming me and I need your help
Some people stop
Other people may notice our problems
And some people stare
They may be judging us for our struggles
I'm hearing whispers that you no longer care
Rumors are circulating that you've lost interest in me
Should I stay
I'm unsure if I should stick by your side
Should I turn away
Maybe it's better if I walk away from this relationship
Stop playing games now you know it's not fair
Don't toy with my emotions, it's not fair to me
You make me think I've got this feeling for you
I can't help but feel a strong connection to you
I've tried so hard, won't you listen to me?
I've put in a lot of effort, but I need you to listen to me
Cause we can make it we can see this through
I'm convinced that we can overcome our obstacles
Let me start by telling you
I'm going to start by being honest with you
