Which boy band released the 1999 single “If I Let You Go”?

Irish boy band Westlife released the 1999 single “If I Let You Go.”

The song was written by Steve Mac and Wayne Hector and released on August 9, 1999. It became Westlife’s second consecutive UK number-one single, following the group’s debut release, “Swear It Again.”

The track helped define Westlife’s early sound: polished pop production, prominent vocal harmonies, and a sentimental relationship theme. It was later included on the group’s self-titled debut studio album, released in November 1999.

Westlife is sometimes confused with Boyzone because both were Irish boy bands associated with successful ballads and songwriter Ronan Keating. However, “If I Let You Go” belongs to Westlife and was released during the group’s first year as a recording act.
