0:06 [Music] like a long time ago I mean I gave that can't be 20 years ago some days you know Mike is just some forms of something that I never knew that when we shot an uptown girl that Claudia Schiffer was in the video and she invited us for lunch and we turned her down what basically we were doing the shoot with Claudia Schiffer I was fantastic we were massive fans yeah and she was gone for a lunch halfway through the shoot and she was like oh you should come with me and have some lunch or whatever and the Labor Act no sorry you can't oh we've got some NTV's they've got silence so we basically turned to angle for lunch with her and I still hold that against yeah we've got the new album here spectrum and you said that you didn't want to do
0:51 nostalgia that would have been the easy track to go down with no so I think you know because we were kind of a ban of the 90s in the naughties when we when we split up in 2012 and we decided to get back together the big thing for us was making something fresh something that felt that was more now rather than what we used to do what a little bit of what we used to do in there as well so with this album we really wanted to just kind of try and find a sound that was really good for us you know a bit more temple which we have done we've kept some of the big kind of ballads in there for the old school people for the old school kind of audience and for ourselves as well but but also just to try and kind of freshen ourselves up you know and and you know we are still young I think we like people who come to the shows we just did a big tour around the UK northern Asia and we love those moments
1:38 as well but I think if we were going to come back and try and be in the charts again we needed to kind of do something fresh in you and then that's when you know we kind of got the call to say that Ed Sheeran was it when he was a little boy was Westlife on and then he wanted the rights and he's already written some of the truck yeah I mean genuinely dummy that sounds like a fairy tale but it was genuinely true we said we were having meetings gone how do you get that cheering involved you know you know considering getting back together and whether this is gonna be a success and what sounds a bit of work whatever you've done you've put together the formula that has worked I mean you look at I mean hello my love this the single that had huge success this morning the Milan line is reporting that the album is outselling the entire top ten newly released albums altogether including scene yawns new album as well as they like dreams when you come back
2:24 you can't have hope this to go anywhere we honestly couldn't have predicted I think the overwhelming response last year from the tour with them with the new album as keen says it is all new stuff and we were kind of you know we didn't know how it would go but after hello my love in the kind of reaction to that the album is kind of very much in that vein you're older wiser you could probably enjoy it a bit more now yeah I think this time around what we wanted to do is we wanted to kind of delete all the bitter we didn't enjoy and just focus on the bits we did and actually as it turns out they're all the important parts like making music and touring all the other stuff around Oh Sam I think this summer I'm were just much quicker to call right none of that we're not doing this we're not doing that we want this kind of person work around it's like we were trying to create a very calm stress-free environment and just come to work and look forward to it do the big stuff go
3:10 home to our families happy and content and not sort of be all stressed out every day I think at this point of our lives that's more important than anything is to just be happier than to enjoy the important parts and sometimes they can get so stressful well in the past get so stressful that you kind of stop enjoying the shows and the studio time yeah and that's kind of spoiling the whole magic of itself and the the new single my blood if you the video to that is just adorable and obviously very personal to all of you because all of you are fathers and between you've got 10 kids and all of them are in the video yeah we thought it'd be a nice thing to do you know it's the only time we've ever done a kind of inner in our career untenable you know obviously 10 kids between us now and they're at that age I think even as Mark said enjoying it all a bit more this time you know we get to
3:55 share this Westlife thing with our children when we go back together and we started making the records and stuff and we were cool with our with our kids because that Sheeran was evolved and then we we flew over to the first thing we did was the National Television Awards and obviously we'd made for example you guys before and then we set alone and then the kids were like what am i young like yeah who loves you guys run down the corridor and got a selfie with all the kids yeah and you forget it might happen to you guys well you forget how much impact it makes in your children's lives well that's what I get so but loving some of them weren't even born the last time I'm not too bad like you know I've got great hub Kaelin is fantastic as
4:42 well so you know if one kind of this week is the first kind of week of work work yeah we've done daddy yeah so it's been great honestly it's not it's not as bad as everyone kind of told me it's gonna be the kids were actually doing their own stuff backstage weren't they yeah it's quite random they're here setting up their own set up their own little band and started writing songs instead of performing them and all this and it's so the influence is real I mean that's the one thing that we always that you know that's that's amazing about it is as Nicky said they're getting to see it all for real and it's genuinely influencing is it Gia my daughter yeah yes so it took everyone's phone so that there was nothing posted online and also last week
5:28 she said to me she said daddy I want to be a singer I said no no no you wanna be a lawyer are you ready viruses as you say no but I want to be singers okay that's brilliant I see what you should do because she's only just turned six I said wait I wasn't around for Westlife like she was born after we split so I said you should have don't have to play the guitar or piano but you but you don't thank you very much that that is the is the album and it's great to have you back you
