World of Our Own is the third studio album recorded by Irish boy band Westlife. It was released through RCA Records on 12 November 2001. It reached number one in the United Kingdom and includes the singles "Queen of My Heart" (which was a double A-side with "When You're Looking Like That"), "World of Our Own" (which was a double A-side with "Angel"), "Bop Bop Baby", and the final single from the group's last album, "Uptown Girl". "Evergreen" was later covered by Will Young as his winner's single for the 2002 Pop Idol competition.

The album went 4× Platinum in the UK and is the fourteenth biggest selling boy band album ever in the UK.[2] The album was one of the best selling international albums in Hong Kong in 2002.[3] In January 2005, the album was re-released in a 2-in-1 box set with the group's previous album, Coast to Coast.[4]

The album sold over 5.5 million copies worldwide.[5]

Background

[edit | edit source]

The band spent four months making this album and wrote seven songs on it.[6] The album cover was shot in Dublin.[7]

"Uptown Girl" was recorded by the band as a part of the 2001 Comic Relief charity single. It was released on 5 March 2001. "Queen of My Heart" was released on 5 November 2001 as the first single from this album.[8] In an interview, Kian said that the song was about a person who wants to go back to their soulmate whom they have been away from each other for a long time.[9] "World of Our Own" was released on 18 February 2002 as the second single from this album. The band described it as a 'poppy' song.[10] "Bop Bop Baby" was released on 20 May 2002 as the third single from this album.

Bonus track "Bad Girls" was originally intended to be recorded by Luis Fonsi.[11]
