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.

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
What am I doing without you
Took for granted everything we had
As if I'd find someone
Who's just like you
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I 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 I guess I'm ready
For settling down
And fooling around is over
And I swear its true
No buts or maybes
When I'm falling down
There's always someone who saves me
And girl it's you
Funny how life can be so surprising
I'm just realising what you do
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I 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 baby somehow
I won't let this slip away
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I 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
What am I doing without you
The lyrics of Westlife’s “World of Our Own” capture love at its most innocent stage, with the need for each other making everything feel brand new. The opening line “You make me feel funny when you come around” is a clear indication that the singer is infatuated with this person. The line “Took for granted everything we had, as if I'd find someone who's just like you” implies that the singer may have been overlooking the person they’re singing about, possibly taking their presence in their life for granted while holding unrealistic standards for the “perfect” partner. However, it seems that they’ve realized now just how special this person is, and in turn, everything seems to point back to their love interest. The chorus is a declaration of their love, revering the fact that they have a special bond that no one can penetrate.
The second verse suggests that the singer is done with fooling around, and has made the decision to settle down. This is reinforced in the line "And I swear it's true. No buts or maybes." With this decision comes newfound appreciation for their partner who’s been there for them through thick and thin. The bridge of the song expresses the urgency and fervor of the singer’s feelings for this person, and how he is willing to work hard to make it work. The song ends on a hopeful note, as they vow not to let this relationship slip away.
