Boyzone's second album, A Different Beat , was released in 1996 and contained the band's first UK number one single, a cover of the Bee Gees' hit "Words".

Their third album, Where We Belong , was released in 1998 and it contained the singles "All That I Need", "Baby Can I Hold You" and "No Matter What". In 1999, Boyzone released a greatest hits compilation, By Request . The band then went on hiatus whilst all the members pursued solo projects.

In September 2008, the band returned with "Love You Anyway", which peaked at number five in the UK, making it their seventeenth consecutive top five single. Their second single of 2008, "Better", peaked at number 22 in the UK.
