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 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.
Maybe Tomorrow
Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you're leaving
Weren't we meant to be?
Should've sensed the danger
Read the warnings
Right there in front of me
Lets start it over
Couldn't I get one more try?
Maybe tomorrow you'll say that you're mine
You'll realize, I could change
I'm gonna show you I'm in it for life
I'll get you back someday
Maybe tomorrow
I forgot to be there
I was selfish
I can see that now
I should've got to known you
Should've held you
When your tears fell down
Just stop
Don't make me beg you
Tell me that you'll stay the night
Maybe tomorrow you'll say that you're mine
You'll realize, I could change
I'm gonna show you I'm in it for life
I'll get you back someday
I will find a way
Wait a minute
Just hear me out
This time I promise, I'll put you first
Turn around now
Your heart can't let you walk away
I'll do what it takes
Maybe tomorrow you'll say that you're mine
You'll realize (realize), I could change (I can change)
I'm gonna show you I'm in it for life
I'll get you back someday
Maybe tomorrow
There's so much I wanna say now
I just wanna make a life with you (don't walk away)
There's so much I wanna do now
I just wanna make love to you
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
The lyrics of Westlife's song "Maybe Tomorrow" speaks about a broken relationship and the singer's regret for not doing enough to prevent their lover from leaving. The song starts with the singer expressing disbelief that the relationship is over and questions if they were not meant to be together. The first verse acknowledges the warning signs that the relationship was coming to an end, but the singer failed to sense the danger. The chorus of the song expresses the hope that their partner will realize that they can change and that they are committed to the relationship for the long haul. The chorus features a repeated phrase "Maybe tomorrow," signifying the hope for a second chance.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges their selfishness and failed to be there for their partner in a time when they needed them most. The plea is to be given another chance, to be promised that their partner will stay the night, and they will do their utmost to make it work. The bridge is the singerโs last attempt to convince their partner not to walk away and promises to put them first, and they will do whatever it takes to make it work.

@@lilianna9872 Dear Westlife separated in 2012. Got back together late in 2018/ Album in 2019. Released their 2nd reunion Album 2021.
My point is , since they have been back together they have lost their their Original Classic Westlife vibe. They are more into UpTempo music. It's acceptable but it can never match their original classic music style. And that is what I miss, Classic Westlife in every way.

I'm part of Gen Z I was born in the year 2005, I love Westlife songs from when I was 4-5 years old until today, and that's why I love their songs because my mother was a big fan of Westlife and I heard their songs from FM Radio before, but today their songs are now rare to hear on FM radio, and that's why I have so many Westlife songs that I downloaded in my phone, my wish is to meet you all, and Thanks, Westlife for being part of my life, and God bless you all!.
