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.

Can hardly believe it (yeah)
There's an angel standing next to me
Reaching for my heart
Just a smile and there's no way back
Can hardly believe it (yeah)
But there's an angel and she's calling me
I know, that I'll be ok now
This time it's real
I lay my love on you
It's all I want to do
Every time I breathe I feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you
I was lost in a lonely place
Could hardly believe it (yeah)
Holding on to yesterdays
Far, far too long
Now I believe it's okay cause
This time it's real
I lay my love on you
It's all I want to do
Every time I breathe I feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you
I never knew that love could feel so good
Like a once in a lifetime
You change my world
I lay my love on you'.
The song "I Lay My Love For You" by Westlife is a romantic ballad that expresses the feelings of true love and the depth of emotions that come with it. The song begins with a narrator who is feeling lost and lonely, but then suddenly he sees an angel, and just a smile from her brightens his day and makes the rain disappear. The angel is grabbing his heart, and he can hardly believe that it's real. He feels like he's been adrift for a long time and holding on to yesterday, but now he knows that he'll be okay because he's found the one thing he's been searching for, which is true love.
With this realization, the singer decides to lay his love on the person he loves, expressing his desire to shower them with affection and opening his heart wide. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the singer declaring that laying his love on his partner is all he wants to do. The love he feels for this person is giving him a new lease on life, making him feel brand new, and allowing the person to walk right through to his heart. The song ends with the singer stating that he never knew that love could make him feel so good, and he knows that the person he loves has changed his world forever.
Overall, "I Lay My Love For You" is a love song about finding true love and embracing it fully, opening one's heart wide and letting the love you feel for someone else completely consume you.

You change my world
Your love has transformed my life in countless ways, and I am forever grateful

Westlife! I don't even know where to begin.
At the age of 8, this is my first ever song of them that I listened to, and within 2 mins, I made a promise to myself: "I am going to marry an Irish man one day when I grow up" and told my mom about it LOL. All she did was laughing at me. I don't blame her 😂. She keeps talking about it until now
Being born and raised in Vietnam where English isn't my first language, after this song, and many of their good songs, I promised myself: "I am going to learn English. I am going to be fluent in English to be able to undersrand what theyre singing".
And here I am. 20 years after my first time listening to this song. Happily married to a handsome Canadian Irish man for almost 8 years now. 2 beautiful mixed Vietnamese and Irish babies.
I got tears in my eyes when I was listening to this song again today. All the memories that I'll hold on forever.
Thanks Westlife for being a part of my childhood and my motivation!
Hoping to see you in Vancouver one day 😊
