Westlife to release song penned by Take That star

Westlife are releasing a single written by Gary Barlow as they preferred it to one of their own tracks.

The group's Mark Feehily had penned a song called 'Beautiful World', which was due to be the lead single from their forthcoming 'Greatest Hits' compilation but at the last minute they ditched the song in favour of one given to them by the Take That star and his 'Patience' co-writer John Shanks.
