Westlife is an Irish boy band who formed in 1998.

Its members once were Shane Filan, Kian

Egan, Nicky Bryne, and Mark Feehily. Then Bryan McFadden left the band on March 9, 2004 to
give more of his time to his family life with the British TV personality and former Atomic
Kitten member Kerry Katona, although he has subsequently separated from her
Westlife did not manage success in America, although their debut single, "Swear It Again" was
a minor hit on mainstream radio and MTV. Its video made MTV's Total Request Live briefly, and
it managed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 2000, going up to No. 20 on the
chart. Their debut American album was also released in 2000, but flopped. Beyond Europe and
the USA, Westlife's fan base is truly global, including Canada, Latin America, Southeast Asia,
and Australia.
It was announced in October 2011 that Westlife would split in 2012
It was released as the third single from their second studio album Coast to Coast (2000). It was
released in many parts of the world, including Australia, Asia and most notably Europe,
excluding the UK and Ireland.

"I Lay My Love on You", along with "When You're Looking Like That", were not released in the
