Music Week revealed on their website that Westlife is the official third top touring act within the years 2005โ2008, 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.

I felt your foundation via great amount in moderate
I've almost got you there so let me take you all the way

Taste the infinity and mysteries surrounding you
Erotic stereo it's in the bass and trebble too
Come hold your hands above your head and let them

The song "Hit You With the Real Thing" by Westlife is an upbeat and electrifying dance number that talks about reaching the ultimate state of ecstasy through music. The opening lines suggest that it's really hot and the temperature is increasing, setting the stage for the scorching rhythm and beats. The singer says that he has almost got the listener to the brink of ecstasy and wants to take them all the way with the "real thing." The words "real thing" could mean different things to different listeners, but in the context of the song, the real thing is a state of pure and intense pleasure induced by the music. The chorus encourages the listener to surrender to the music and let it take them higher and higher until they reach the point of overload.

I'm annoyed about how these songs aren't getting millions of views they're so amazing. Used to listen to them nonstop when I was 11-12 so glad they're coming back with amazing songs
