March 28, 20196 yr Author that is not good... it will impact the huge first day sales... Charis this isn't bad. The reason it is released is because it is Friday there, it isn't actually released sooner.
March 28, 20196 yr Author Heard the full version already. Kian and Nicky have first and second stanza parts Is a song a bit modern or is it really just a classic Westlife throwback ballad?
March 28, 20196 yr did u like it anyway ? is it something extraordinary? is it a strong song to challenge in the charts?
March 28, 20196 yr Heard the full version already. Kian and Nicky have first and second stanza parts where did u listen to it? can u send it to my on my email? I am gna buy 5-6 legal copies of it anyway :P
March 28, 20196 yr Fans will love it. Can never go wrong for a Westlife ballad. but non fans not? :( we want it to be bigger than hello my love.. and hello my love was successful for the general public.
March 28, 20196 yr but non fans not? :( we want it to be bigger than hello my love.. and hello my love was successful for the general public. Please don't put words in my mouth with this one like the lyric ha. I will post it later, I just don't know of it's correct. It's not yet even in UK.
March 28, 20196 yr Lyrics You and I had something special baby Something you only see on movie screens I know Lately I've been missing you like crazy oh why Why'd you let me in just let me go Most guys will get high when feeling low But I don't think that that's the way to go Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own Thinking about life, thinking about you and me How do you lose the one you love After giving it all, you gave it up Maybe my love wasn't enough You'd think you know but you never can How do you lose your only plan But darling just give me one more chance And I give you everything I have I'll try to be a better man I felt things when we were naked I saw an angel but they've hidden their wings I know Everyone's got that special baby Oh why Now I only see you in my dreams Most guys will get high when feeling low But I don't think that that's the way to go Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own Thinking about life, thinking about you and me How do you lose the one you love After giving it all, you gave it up Maybe my love wasn't enough You'd think you know but you never can How do you lose your only plan But darling just give me one more chance And I give you everything I have I'll try to be a better man I've been up and I've been down Think that just what love's about You took words right out of my mouth If you feel it say it now 'Cause either awhile that I figure it out But ain't that just what love's about You took words right out of my mouth If you feel it say it now How do you lose (how do you lose) the one you love After giving it all, you gave it up Maybe my love wasn't enough (my love) You'd think you know but you never can How do you lose your only plan (and how do you lose your only plan) But darling just give me one more chance (give me) And I give you everything I have (everything I have) I'll try to be a better man Edited March 30, 20196 yr by myxxd
March 28, 20196 yr It’s nice enough and the existing fanbase will love it, but anybody new they might have gained with Hello My Love probably won’t take to it much. It’s essentially just like any of their non cover ballads from 1999-2002, even down to the same production and the ‘up off the stools’ key change. It’s instant and with a big melody, like all of their big ballads were, but I don’t see this formula working in 2019 like it did 20 years ago.
March 28, 20196 yr If you Google 'Westlife - Better Man' then click tools then past hour you should find a load of sites that have uploaded it, some of which you can stream it on.

March 28, 20196 yr Author Its a good song and all but I'm not sure it is the right single choice. We'll see. I love the fact that Kian and Nicky have once again singing parts.
March 28, 20196 yr I can't understand some members here fearing that non-Westlifers would probably not like it. So what? if you're so anxious about public backlash you could easily choose Calvin Harris as your favorite musician. If he release anything even less than 10 seconds it would be on top of the charts. So why you call yourself fan in first place? Hello My Loved released and it was your typical "modern" song and you're bragging about it like the song was top 5 for 10 weeks. I'm so sick of it. You can be a fan of Grande or Drake of this world and I bet that you won't be disappointed because every songs of them would be mega-hit. Better Man is not a masterpiece but it's exactly the kind of song that made me fan of the lads. I really like this song and I'm sure it will be in top 5-8 next Friday. It reminds me a lot about their earliest releases from first album which they love the most among all their albums. They said many times that the first album is their favorite so please stop it. HML was your modern song and it spent many weeks at wrong ends of top 40 as a so called "comeback single".
March 28, 20196 yr Hello My Love was a hit. Whether you continue to deny it or not. The charts are SO MUCH different now to what you're used to. The fact a Westlife single has spent 9 weeks in the top 40 in the streaming era and managed to do ok on Spotify themselves - a lot higher than Cheryl Cole managed (who was more "relevant" than them) for example, shows that there is demand of some sort for them. They're definitely targetting and aiming for huge album numbers rather than singles success nowadays. Their album should be one of the biggest Q4 releases this year. 9 weeks top 40 is a big deal, especially for vintage act like Westlife, where many people didn't think it would trouble the top 40 in this streaming age. You're really downplaying what is a massive achievement for them.
March 28, 20196 yr It is amazing that you're comparing Cheryl to Westlife. Cheryl is nothing in the world of music. We're talking about act with 7 UK no.1 albums, 14 no.1 singles and above them are just Robbie Williams, Coldplay and Take That in 21st century in terms of selling albums. Cheryl entire catalog was less than half of one ordinary Westlife album. Westlife had the power to beat Oasis, U2 and The Beatles in battle of the bands despite campaign against them all over the UK. So please compare Cheryl to the likes of Tulisa or Rita Ora.
