Bryan's guide to "Turnaround"

TURN AROUND: A typical Westlife-style pop chorus but the verses are a bit more quirky. It's got a real funky production which makes it a great pop song.

ON MY SHOULDER: It's probably going to be our next single in Europe. There's something which gives it a very traditional Westlife feel. It's a greatballad but doesn't have the typical chorus where we're all singing together. It's got a little bit more of a nursery rhyme feel.

MANDY: Simon Cowell suggested we cover the Barry Manilow classic so it will be our next single release in time for Christmas. It's the kind of song which will touch everyone at that time of year.

THANK YOU: Another up-tempo Westlife numberin the same vein as Uptown Girl. It's got a very summery feel.

I DID IT FOR YOU: Written by Diane Warren, thiswas supposed to be on the soundtrack of the Veronica Guerin movie but the producers wanted a female to sing it. Diane told them they could take the song with Westlife or not at all.

LOST IN YOU: It's a cover version but few fans in the UK will ever have heard it. The track wasoriginally recorded by country music superstar Garth Brooks in his musical alter-ego of Chris Gaines. It's an amazing number and vocally it's a very ambitious song for us to do.

OBVIOUS: It's a Swedish song written by the same team who penned material for N-Sync. It's got a Love Is All Around by Wet Wet Wet kind of feel a real anthem.

WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN: Above all othertracks on the album, this is about as old school Westlife as you get. It's a cross between Flying Without Wings and Swear It Again.

HEY WHATEVER: Our first single from the new album. It felt like a bit of a departure for us musically. We didn't know how people would react but the feedback from fans has been great.

BE WITH YOU: A Mr Big song which we performed on our last UK tour to see what thereaction would be and it went down a storm.

HERE: It has an 80s feel and reminds us of With Or Without You by U2. A great mid-tempo track.

THEY DON'T KNOW: The last song on the album and it's about how our relationships within the band have changed over the years. People tend to judge us by what they read in the papers. They don't really know us as people. This song is us putting the record straight.
