As they continue to build anticipation for the release of their highly anticipated new album 25 – The Ultimate CollectionIrish pop faithful Westlife today share LP’s latest single, “Your love amazes me”.
Anchored in the same heartfelt lyrics and signature harmonies that first made them stars in the late ’90s, the soulful ballad unfolds as a sweeping ode to all-encompassing love—one that gives “clarity, hope and meaning”. It’s a timeless feeling that has long underpinned the band’s global appeal.
Produced by Jamie Scott, Daniel Bryer and Martin Hannah – whose collective musical credits include Ed Sheeran, One Direction and Tom Grennan – the group says of the song via a press release: “It’s wonderful to return to the kind of song that many of our fans will remember from our earliest days – it’s a heartfelt ballad with a beautiful story.”
Westlife marks a major milestone with 25 – The Ultimate Collectiona career-spanning collection arriving on May 8, 2026, to celebrate a quarter of a century of one of pop’s most enduring vocal groups. The release brings together 21 tracks that trace the band’s journey from late ’90s chart dominance through their arena-filled comeback years, packing their most recognizable hits into a single, definitive anthology. It’s both a nostalgic look back and a reminder of the group’s persistent grip on mainstream pop.
The collection features a range of era-defining singles, from early breakthroughs such as “Swear it again” and “Flying Without Wings” to global smashes including ‘My Love’, “Mandy”and “You Raise Me Up”. Later material such as “Hello my love” and “Starlight” reflects the band’s return in 2019 and continued chart presence. In total, the album contains more than a dozen UK No.1s, underlining the extent of Westlife’s commercial peak and their consistency over decades.
The LP – which is available to pre-order now in multiple formats including 1CD, 2CD deluxe, 1LP, Amazon Exclusive 1LP picture disc and cassette – will also feature brand new material recorded by all four members: Shane, Nicky, Kia and Ground.
To celebrate the release of the record, the band will now in September begin their much-anticipated tour Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tourwho deliver a euphoric, hit-filled show that spans their extraordinary career. The tour kicks off with a 13-date residency in Dublin before heading across the UK and Europe, marking their first headline continental run in two decades.
