In Westlife - Our Story, the band said they pushed for "Hey Whatever" to be released as the lead single despite Simon Cowell telling them they did not have a hit. The song became one of Westlife's lowest-charting singles and was their first not to sell more than 100,000 copies at the time, selling just under 80,000.^[2]
