Thank You & Goodnight


Thank You & Goodnight is the seventh and final studio album by Irish boy band Boyzone, which was released on 16 November 2018. The album sold 100,000 copies in the UK.

Background

Keith Duffy announced in March 2017 that Boyzone had a signed a contract with Warner Music for an album and an arena tour. In December 2017, it was announced that the album had been finalised and was ready for release in 2018. In April 2018, it was confirmed that Boyzone would release a new studio album and would tour the UK in 2019 with arena shows.
The album has an "urban" influence, as opposed to the ballads the band is famous for singing. Shane Lynch stated the album would be similar in style to that of American singer Charlie Puth. Ronan Keating said that each member picked three songs for the track listing, explaining: "Shane’s tracks have a very urban feel while mine have a country pop feel. There’s dance tracks, there’s rock tracks, so there are different flavours of all of us on this album." Duffy said "it's not a very structured record" but called the album "the best work we've ever done".
Gary Barlow, Calum Scott and Ed Sheeran contributed to the album. Sam Smith wrote a song for the album, but the track did not end up on the final track listing.
