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.
Nothing
Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
Bit something some where's gotta give
As sharing in this relationship gets older, older
You know I'd fight for you but how could I fight
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
I don't care if that's not
Fair
'Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all?
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends?
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
There are time it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it
Then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe it's right I know it, know it
Don't make me promises baby you never did know how to keep them well
I had the rest of you now I want the best of you it's time to show and tell
'Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all?
Or are we just friends?
Is this how it ends?
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
'Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
No more inside for me in your life
'Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall
It's now or never
Is it all?
Or nothing at all
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all?
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends?
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing
'Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
No more inside for me in your life
'Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall
It's now or never
Is it all?
Or nothing at all
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all?
Or are we just friends?
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
The song "Nothing" by Westlife talks about a relationship that has lost its sparks and is gradually fading away. The singer expresses his concern about his partner's distant behavior and realizes that sharing their relationship is getting older. He admits that he would fight for their love, but he can't fight a memory. The lyrics also reveal that the singer wants the best of his partner after having the rest of her. He wants everything in their relationship or nothing at all. In summary, "Nothing" is a ballad about a relationship on the brink of collapse, and the singer is asking his partner to decide whether she wants everything or nothing.
Line by Line Meaning
I know when he's been on your mind
I can tell when you've been thinking about someone else
That distant look is in your eyes
There's a look in your eyes that suggests you're not really here with me
I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over
I hoped that you would eventually come to terms with the fact that our relationship is over
It's not the way I choose to live
I don't want to live my life always wondering if you're really with me
But something somewhere's gotta give
Something has to change in our relationship
As sharing in this relationship gets older, older
As time goes on, it's becoming harder and harder to share this relationship with you
You know I'd fight for you but how could I fight
I would do anything to keep you, but how do I fight against someone who isn't even here
Someone who isn't even there
How can I compete with someone who is just a memory
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
I've had parts of you, but now I want all of you
I don't care if that's not fair
I don't care if it seems unfair to you
'Cause I want it all
I want everything in this relationship
Or nothing at all
If I can't have everything, then I don't want anything at all
There's nowhere left to fall
We're at the lowest point in our relationship
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
We need to make a decision now before we go any further down
Is it all?
Is there anything left in our relationship at all?
Or are we just friends
Have we lost the romantic connection we once had?
Is this how it ends?
Is this what it's come to, just a simple phone call ending things?
With a simple telephone call
Is this relationship ending with just a phone call?
You leave me here with nothing at all
If this is how our relationship ends, I will be left with nothing
There are times it seems to me
Sometimes I feel like we're still close
I'm sharing you with memories
But at those times, I feel like you're not really here. You're just living in memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it
I know that something is wrong, but I don't want to admit it
Then there's times you look at me
But sometimes you look at me and it feels real
As though I'm all that you can see
In those moments, it feels like we have a connection
Those times I don't believe it's right I know it, know it
But then I remember that we're not really together anymore, even if it feels like we are for a moment
Don't make me promises baby you never did know how to keep them well
I can't trust you to keep your promises
I had the rest of you now I want the best of you it's time to show and tell
I've been patient, but now it's time for you to show me that you care about our relationship
'Cause you and I could lose it all if you've got no more room
Our relationship is on the brink of ending if you don't have any more love to give
No more inside for me in your life
If there's no more room for me in your heart, then our relationship is over

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You"
(originally by George Benson)
If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
