"Unbreakable" is a song performed by Irish boy band Westlife, taken from his first greatest hits album, Unbreakable - The Greatest Hits Volume 1 (2002). It was released on 16 September 2002 by RCA Records and Syco Music as the lead single from the album's. The song was written by Jörgen Elofsson and John Reid, and produced by Steve Mac. It was composed in the traditional verse–chorus form in G major, with the group's vocals ranging from the chords of D4 to C6.[2]
"Unbreakable" became the band's 11th UK number-one single and also reached number one in their native Ireland. The song has received a silver sales certification in the UK for over 200,000 copies sold. It is the band's 13th-best-selling single in paid-for and combined sales in the UK as of January 2019.[3]
The music video was filmed on the same beach as the video for the song "If I Let You Go" and the band members are standing on a sign that reads UNBREAKABLE. The video begins with a young woman crying in a graveyard and then it goes into a flashback, in which it shows her and her boyfriend in a Jeep out for a romantic date on the beach. Later, the woman dresses herself for appears to be either a wedding or a prom and waits for her boyfriend to arrive. The man is driving to his girlfriend's home in the Jeep as he holds a rose to give to her. But as he drives, he takes his eyes off the road as he puts the rose on the passenger's seat and crashes on his way home and is killed. At the girlfriend's home, there's a knock on the door and, believing it is her boyfriend, she rushes to answer, but finds that it's a police officer, who regretfully takes off his hat as he tells her about the accident and she falls to her knees as she breaks down in tears. The video ends with the girlfriend at her boyfriend's grave, on which she puts the rose as she cries. Parts of the video was shot in Hotel Rosslyn Annex as well.
