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.
World of Our Own
Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you come around
Yeah that's what I found out honey
What am I doing without you?
You make me feel happy
When I leave you behind
It plays on my mind now honey
Oh, took for granted everything we had
As if I'd find someone
Who's just like you
Oh, we got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I'll let you in where no one else goes
What am I doing without you?
And all the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you?
What am I doing without you?
Well I guess I'm ready
For settling down
And fooling around is over
And I swear it's true
No buts or maybes (buts or maybes)
When I'm falling down
There's always someone who saves me
And girl it's you
Oh, funny how life can be so surprising
I'm just realising what you do
Oh, we got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I'll let you in where no one else goes
What am I doing without you?
And all the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you?
Well it's feeling right now
So let's do it right now
Praying that some how
You will understand the way
It's feeling right now (feeling right now)
Baby somehow I won't let this slip away
Oh, 'cause we got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I'll let you in where no one else goes
What am I doing without you?
We've got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I'll let you in where no one else goes
What am I doing without you?
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new (world of our own)
We've got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I'll let you in where no one else goes
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new (world of our own)
We've got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I'll let you in where no one else goes (world of our own)
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you?
In "World of Our Own" by Westlife, the lyrics are about a person who has realized that they are incomplete without their significant other. The song is a declaration of love and the desire to create a world of their own, where they can be completely themselves with each other. The first verse talks about how the person feels when their significant other is around and how they realized that they can't live without them. The second verse talks about the things they have been looking for and how they have always been outside their door. The chorus is a repetition of their desire to create a world of their own, where they can share everything and be themselves.
The song talks about how life can be unexpected and how love can come in when we least expect it. The idea of creating a world of their own is a metaphor for how they want to escape from the world outside and create something that is special to them. They want to share their innermost thoughts, secrets, and desires and be completely open with each other. The line "All the things I've been looking for have always been here outside my door" signifies that they have been searching for love everywhere, but it was always present in their significant other.

When I was a kid, I bought my own walkman with my recess money that I saved for a month. And the cassette tape that I bought was this song's album. I remember walking down the streets with this song blasting on my ears and thinking I was the coolest kid in my neighborhood.
Thinking about it now, I can't help but smile and cringe a little bit. But it was a good memory nevertheless.
