"Love You Anyway" is a song by Irish boyband Boyzone, released as the lead single from their second compilation album, Back Again... No Matter What, and the band's first single in over eight years.

Background

The song features an elaborate, Phil Spector-sounding production, with a 'busy' instrumentation including choir-like backing vocals, jangley guitars, trombones, tambourines and tubular bells.

Music video

The video for "Love You Anyway" starts with Ronan Keating strolling past a taxi while wearing sunglasses and a suit. Stephen Gately then walks down the same road following two ladies dressed in black. Three more ladies come into view and start dancing behind Ronan and others dance further down the street. Shane Lynch looks out of his car to see two ladies wearing coats leaning against the bonnet - he gets out to admire them before walking past. More girls dance on some steps next to Mikey Graham. Keith Duffy gets out of a taxi to look at girls in front of it. The band members then perform a dance routine in the middle of the road, accompanied by the ladies, before embracing each other. The band continue this routine for the rest of the video, before changing into slightly more casual clothes. The band finish the video with arms around each other's shoulders.

Promotion

The band did not preview the song on their reunion tour, and instead promoted the album track "Can't Stop Thinking About You", which was originally intended for release as a single. The band, however, made numerous public, television and radio appearances to promote the single. The band performed as a part of the annual Blackpool Illuminations in August 2008. On September 7, 2008 they appeared as guest hosts on The Sunday Night Project with Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr. They performed the song on the ITV entertainment show For One Night Only on 14 September 2008, live from the Fountain Studios in Wembley.^[1] On 25 September they appeared on This Morning on GMTV and performed the song in front of Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton. The music video was first aired on The Box music channel on 3 September. The song received it's first radio play on Terry Wogan's Radio 2 show on 20 August.
