Posted July 4, 201311 yr So the debut single is called 'Everything To Me'. More details coming tomorrow. :) EDIT: @ShaneFilan That was fun! #bestfansintheworld single cover & release date will be revealed tomorrow for #FilanFriday, you'll hear the song next week!! Edited July 4, 201311 yr by Electro Paradise
July 5, 201311 yr There are more details of his single on his website: Shane Filan is set to release his brilliant debut solo single on 25th August, on Capitol Records. ‘Everything To Me’ is written by Shane and Nick Atkinson (Gabrielle Aplin), and produced by Grammy award winning producer, Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, James Morrison, Train). ‘Everything To Me’ is sing-a-long, sunshine tinged pop at its finest, and the sound might come as a surprise to fans – but is sure to delight. The song is featured as the lead track on an EP which includes three other brand new songs, written by Shane. An album will follow later in the year, details to be announced soon. I am incredibly excited to have joined Capitol Records, and being back in the studio in London and Nashville recording new songs has been amazing. Working on solo material is something I had always dreamed of doing, and I’m incredibly happy with the results. ‘Everything To Me’ is a very personal song to me lyrically; it is such an upbeat and optimistic record, perfect for the summer. I can’t wait for people to hear it!” Tracklisting: 1. Everything To Me 2. Everytime 3. Today’s Not Yesterday 4. Once Also, it turns out that if you buy the single from his website, they ship it worldwide. I think this will definitely help with his sales: http://store.digitalstores.co.uk/sha...0#.UdaGAzuJV8B Maybe I will buy it as well if it is really worldwide. 3 pounds is not expensive and you get 4 songs on it. It will be great if they sell the album in this way. Edited July 5, 201311 yr by zeze88
July 6, 201311 yr The single will be premiered at 2fm on Tubridy show next Friday. Here is the artwork: https://twitter.com/KiuKiuFeehily/status/35...5025536/photo/1
July 8, 201311 yr Someone leaked the single. I won't post it here because I'm not sure if I am allowed to. However, the quality isn't perfect so maybe no one would mind. I love it, it is very positive, happy song, but not in annoying way like It's a Beautiful Day from Buble. This could definitely be a hit for him as I think it's very radio friendly, I can see this played constantly on the radios because it has a very summery feel to it. Also. I think it is indeed very personal, I think it is pretty obvious that he is singing about bankruptcy and his family from the lyrics. Also, I don't think anyone can say now he can't write, this is a very good pop song and it is very heartfelt as he is singing from personal experience: If life is like a jiigsaw where would you start you think you've got the picture it's written on your heart You lay out all the pieces one by one but if you stare at it too closely the answer never comes So take a breath cause I need time to figure this all out I got a lost inside I thought I need but I understand now Cause I don't need the sunlight shining on my face and I don't need perfection to have the perfect day just wanna see you happy a smile on your face nothing else matters cause you're everything to me can you tell me where I'm going tell me what comes next cause I know that it's not over haven't even started yet I just wanna get there but I hope it's not too late cause the closer I am getting the more I feel the way let's take a break take our time to figure this all out I got a lost inside I thought I need but I understand now Cause I don't need the sunlight shining on my face and I don't need perfection to have the perfect day just wanna see you happy a smile on your face nothing else matters cause you're everything to me all that I thought I want is not what I really need you're right in front of me I don't need the sunlight shining on my face and I don't need perfection to have the perfect day just wanna see you happy a smile on your face nothing else matters cause you're everything to me Edited July 9, 201311 yr by zeze88
July 9, 201311 yr Author It's really good and I love the summer vibe from it, it's a real feel good song. I love his voice on this too, the style he is singing really reminds me of someone from a long time back, especially at the start, but I can't quite place it. It's great though and sounds like it will get better on each listen! The video leaked too, an unfinished version, it's based in the airport, I won't give anymore away from that but it looked awesome. Genuinely really happy with how this is all going so far, I can't wait to see him perform this live and to get to hear/see the video in HQ. Roll on Thursday for the official reveal. :) Also, you know how he had 2,000 signed copies go online on friday and they all sold out? So they put another 1,000 up yesterday, well they've all gone too! So that's 3,000 copies already, he definitely still has his core fanbase there for him, hopefully this has another cross over appeal to get the public on board too. :) It's definitely far enough away from Westlife to break out I think, but close enough to keep his fans on board. Eek so excited for his career now! <3 Go Shane, Go Shane! Edited July 9, 201311 yr by Electro Paradise
July 9, 201311 yr Yeah, I know it all sold out which is great! Like you said, the song gets better and better on each listen, it is a great summer song to sing along to. Also, I agree it is good departure from Westlife sound. Unfortunately, I can't order the EP, they couldn't take money from my credit card and I don't know why. Also, I find it weird that in selection of the country, they have Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, but not Croatia... I keep wondering when will the EP be available on Amazon or Play.. so far, I haven't seen it. They should definitely do that, maybe it is to early right now... I have seen the video, it looks fun - a really great idea apparently he came up with :) I love the fact he is so involved in everything.
July 9, 201311 yr While i was never a Westlife fan im egging for Shane to do well solo as i always liked his voice.
July 9, 201311 yr Here is the music video: http://www.yinyuetai.com/video/708082 I like it, very happy and fun video :)
July 9, 201311 yr Not liking the song at all, its all too corny tbh. However the video looks fun. Edited July 9, 201311 yr by Rob Summers
July 9, 201311 yr This is a bit naff, expected something a bit better and more mature from him, but I do like that it's quite summery. ^_^
July 9, 201311 yr The song is very catchy and fun, I doubt Shane wanted to achieve something more than that. But because of that, I don't see it as less mature - to me this just sounds like a love letter to his wife and kids because they stuck by him through rough times. Sure, it is a little corny but at least he speaks from the heart and what is more important - he managed to separate himself from Westlife sound. I don't know, I think this song could have success, especially if radio stations back him up and I don't see why they wouldn't because it sounds very radio friendly. Plus, I think this song is perfect for summertime Edited July 9, 201311 yr by zeze88
July 9, 201311 yr Shane just released a lyric video: igS50c8l44A Everything To Me is currently trending at no.1 worldwide :)

Have you asked https://twitter.com/CapitolUK about the Croatia thing? It may just be a matter of time or simply just a mistake. They did say it'll be on amazon etc soon though. :)
July 9, 201311 yr I really like the song, I've listened to it a lot now and I still haven't got bored which is always a good sign. From reading comments on youtube and stuff it seems to have a mixed response, I'm really hoping it does well, as I'd like to see him around for a bit as a solo artist.
July 10, 201311 yr Have you asked https://twitter.com/CapitolUK about the Croatia thing? It may just be a matter of time or simply just a mistake. They did say it'll be on amazon etc soon though. :) I sent the mail to the digital stores and they told me to try again as they do ship to Croatia so I will try again this afternoon : :) Anyway, look - Kian and Nicky praised Shane on Twitter, that's very sweet of them :) Nicky: Well done @ShaneFilan Very very catchy 👍 #GoodJob Take a bow son take a bow .. Right night y'all Kian: Just heard @ShaneFilan first single. Well done buddy it sounds amazing. Set for top of the charts without a doubt. So happy for you :-)
July 10, 201311 yr Oh man, I just went to the website to try again with the pre-order when I noticed there are no signed Ep's left :( now I don't know if I should wait and see if Shane signs a few copies more or I just go ahead and buy the unsigned version.

Maybe contact them again and say you wanted to order the signed copy straight away but the Croatia option wasn't available and now that it is the signed copies aren't and that's not really fair because you were sort of locked out of buying one. You never know, they may get him to sign one more rather than loose the sale. Or they may not... but it's worth a try?
