Westlife are taking a stab at regaining their former chart glory with a new single.

Home is a cover of Michael Bublé's 2005 hit, but it sounds in the same vein of the band's previous classic ballads.

Member Mark Feehily said: "The production is classic Westlife, the song is classic Westlife...but in fairness, the song definitely has its own personality.

"It's one of the strongest songs we've recorded in a long time.

"We've always concentrated on making strong pop songs, so hopefully our music will stay relevant for a long time and not go out of fashion."

The single is taken from their ninth album, Back Home, which is released on November 5.
