Swear It Again (Car Wash Version)
"Swear It Again" is a song by Irish boy band Westlife. It was released on April 1999 in the United Kingdom and on February 2000 in the United States as the first single from their self-titled debut album Westlife (1999). It peaked at number-one one in the UK singles chart for two weeks in May 1999.  It moved to 182,000 units in the first two weeks of its release and spent 13 weeks on the charts.  This made it the first of fourteen UK number-one singles. To date, "Swear It Again" is Westlife's only single to have charted in the U.S., peaking at number 20 and number 75 on the Billboard  Hot 100 Year End Chart in 2000. The song was performed live on Miss Teen USA 2000 . The single has sold over 365,000 copies to date in the U.K. and the U.S. and also achieved gold status there.

Background
"Swear It Again" is notable for being, along with "Flying Without Wings ", one of the first two songs that Steve Mac  wrote for both Westlife and Simon Cowell . The success of the two tracks led to Mac becoming Cowell's first choice producer and songwriter.  The song's B-side, "Forever" , was a significant choice because it was the song - as originally recorded by Damage  - that first alerted Cowell to the talent of Steve Mac and then led to the producer working with Westlife.

Music Video
There are two music videos for Westlife's song "Swear It Again".

The British music video features the band members in a mini theatre and singing on a stage fitted with lighting panel flooring while they face a screen with black & white videos of their studio recording process. This version was directed by Wayne Isham and aired in May 1999. The video was shot at Pinewood Studios in March 1999.

The American music video features the band members at a car wash and subsequently washing a white car as they're singing the song. This version was directed by Nigel Dick and aired in June 2000.
