"My Love" is a song recorded by Irish boy band Westlife. It was released as the second single from their second studio album, Coast to Coast (2000). It debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, giving the band their seventh UK number one.
The song was the 35th best-selling single of 2000 in the UK. It also won The Record of the Year. It has sold 300,000 copies in UK. It has more than 94.6 million views, 29.3 thousand likes, and 9.4 thousand dislikes on YouTube(February 25, 2017).
The opening scene of the music video features the band members waiting at Shannon Airport, where Nicky Byrne informs the band members that the last flight out has just been cancelled. The band members become upset by the news and Brian McFadden exclaims that he is going home. The others follow and the song begins.
The first stanza takes place inside the airport and during the chorus, the scene shifts to Catherine Street in Limerick city. Harstonge House (or Oznam house as it is also known) on Harstonge Street can clearly be seen in the video as they walk down the street. After the end of the first chorus, the scene shifts to Colbert train station in Limerick. Then again during the second chorus, the scene changes to Lahinch Beach, Co. Clare and in Kilkee, (Co. Clare) During the final chorus, the band members sing atop the Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare.
The song itself, combined with the video is portraying the band missing their native Ireland and, in particular, a love interest that was left behind.
