Kian Egan of Westlife checked in with fans on the British boy band’s blog at MySpace on Friday (October 23) ahead of their ‘X Factor’ appearance, where they’ll be performing their new single ‘What About Now’. The single will be out to download on the same day, with the CD hitting stores on Monday. The track is off their upcoming album ‘Where We Are’, out on November 30th. Egan writes:

Hi all…

Just wanted to drop a line to say how excited we are to be back on the promotional trail for our new album!

We have been busy doing our photo shoot for the album and we just got back from shooting the video for our first single ‘What About Now’ in Iceland!

Was very cold but a lot of fun and we think you’re gonna love it! We can’t wait for Sunday nights’ ‘X Factor’… Hope you all love the new single…

Love ya all, Kian x
