Westlife Return With Anthemic New Single ‘Chariot’

Globally renowned pop group Westlife celebrate their 25th anniversary with the release of their brand new single Chariot, a powerful, life-affirming anthem that celebrates love, family and the moments that truly matter. 

 

Written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid and Will Reynolds and co-written and produced by Steve Mac, Chariot is a special release for fans to mark 25 years of music and memories. I am really enjoying their powerful vocals and harmonies and how they effortlessly embody the song's celebration of life and love. The production is very addictive with lots of energy and an anthemic chorus that is guaranteed to be a hit during their upcoming UK and European leg of their 25th anniversary celebrations - Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour. 

 

Chariot is taken from Westlife’s forthcoming album 25 - The Ultimate Collection, out 13th February 2026, a celebration of their record-breaking 25-year journey, combining 21 fan favourites including “You Raise Me Up,” “Uptown Girl,” and “Flying Without Wings” with brand-new material recorded by all four members of Westlife: Shane, Nicky, Kian and Mark.

Westlife said:

This year marks 25 years since we started this incredible journey together and it still feels like only the beginning. The support from our fans has been unbelievable, and to celebrate with this world tour, new music, and a brand-new album feels truly special. We can’t wait to see you all on the road and share this next chapter together.
