Shane Filan commented on the project, saying, “This documentary is our way of giving fans a closer glimpse into who we are—not just as artists, but as individuals. We’ve always claimed that our followers are part of the Westlife family, and this is how we share our narrative with them.”
Fans will also be treated to previously unseen footage from their early tours, recording sessions, and frank backstage moments. The film will focus on their artistic progress, group bonding, and the perseverance that has kept them at the top of the music industry for almost two decades.
