Adrian Bradford, Producer in America, mentioned on his Twitter page that Westlife were in the studio on 31 August to write songs.
Westlife in the studio today, for writing.
Aug 31st
Note that the fact the lads are writing songs doesn't mean they will definitely make it in the album, but since we read this and love the thought of Westlife writing for the new album too we wanted to share it here.

Good luck lads!!
