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.
Tell Me It's Love
Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the circus has left town
Will you be the one I can count on
Will you be around
When the stage is dark and empty
And the last song has been sung
Will the love you feel still be as strong
Let me know the words inside you, say I do
Tell me it's love it's all I want to hear you say
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
No matter what, no matter when
You know I'd do it all again
Tell me it's love
Say I'm the one
When it's easier to walk away
Are you strong enough to turn the page
Do you know how to begin again
Would you let me in
I'd get through anything I had to if I've got you
Tell me it's love it's all I want to hear you say
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
No matter what, no matter when
You know I'd do it all again
Tell me it's love
Say I'm the one
'Cause you know I want nothing else
Then to have you to myself
Your love is all I ever knew
If you feel it let me know the words inside you
Say I do
Tell me it's love that's all I want to hear you say
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
No matter what, no matter when
You know I'd do it all again
Tell me it's love
Say I'm the one that's all I want to hear you say
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
No matter what, no matter when
You know I'd do it all again
Tell me it's love
Say I'm the one
In this song, Westlife sings about the desire to find someone who will always be there for them, even when the lights go out and the circus of life comes to a close. The song captures the fears and doubts that arise when a relationship is put to the test and there is no longer any external validation. The singer is looking for reassurance that their partner is committed to the relationship and is willing to put in the effort to make it work.
The first verse sets the scene of a deserted stage after a performance, where the singer turns to their partner for support. They ask whether their partner will still be there when the lights come down and the music stops, and whether the love they feel will remain strong enough to carry on. In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that relationships are not always easy, and asks whether their partner is strong enough to stick by them even when things get tough. They express their willingness to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work, as long as they have their partner by their side.
The chorus is a plea for reassurance and validation that their partner loves them and is committed to the relationship. The singer asks their partner to declare their love and to acknowledge that they will always feel the same way, no matter what happens in the future. The song ends with a repetition of this plea for reassurance, with the singer begging their partner to say that they are the one and that their love is all they want.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt appeal for reassurance and validation in a relationship. It captures the fears and doubts that arise when external factors are taken away, and the underlying desire for a love that is strong enough to last through all the ups and downs of life.

After all the lights come down
When everything has settled down and the excitement has faded
And the circus has left town
When the show is over and the people have moved on
Will you be the one I can count on
Can I depend on you?
Will you be around
Will you still be there for me?
When the stage is dark and empty
When everything seems bleak and hopeless
And the last song has been sung
When everything is finished and all that's left is silence
Will the love you feel still be as strong
Will your love endure the test of time and hardship?
To help me carry on
To give me the strength to keep going
Let me know the words inside you, say I do
Tell me that you love me and that you're committed to me
Tell me it's love it's all I want to hear you say
I need to know that what we have is real and true love
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
I want to be assured that your love for me will never fade
No matter what, no matter when
Even when things get tough, and no matter how much time passes
You know I'd do it all again
I'd do anything for you, no matter how difficult
Say I'm the one
Acknowledge that I'm the only one for you
When it's easier to walk away
When things get hard and it seems simpler to give up
Are you strong enough to turn the page
Do you have the courage to start afresh and move on?
Do you know how to begin again
Do you have the knowledge and strength to start anew?
Would you let me in
Will you let me be there for you through thick and thin?
I'd get through anything I had to if I've got you
If I have you by my side, I can handle anything that comes my way
'Cause you know I want nothing else
I don't want anything else in life but you
Then to have you to myself
I want to be with you and only you
Your love is all I ever knew
Your love is all I've ever experienced and known
If you feel it let me know the words inside you
If you love me, please tell me and don't keep it hidden
Say I do
Promise me that you love me and will always be there for me
