"'All or Nothing'" is a song recorded by American boy band O-Town. The pop ballad was written by Wayne Hector and Steve Mac, and produced by Mac. It was released on March 20, 2001, as the second single from their debut album, 'O-Town' (2001). The song reached number three in the United States, number five in Canada, and number four in the United Kingdom.
In 2006, Irish boy band Westlife recorded a cover version on their seventh studio album, 'The Love Album'to which was used extensively as background music during the audition stages of 'The X Factor UK'. The song itself charted without being properly released as a single in the United Kingdom. Westlife later revealed that the song was first offered to them but Simon Cowell, their executive producer, rejected it and passed it on to O-Town, becoming their hit. 'Rolling Stone' ranked the song as the 32nd best boy band song of all time.
Composition
The song is performed in the key of C major in common time with a tempo of 64 beats per minute then modulates to D major after the bridge. The group's vocals span from G4 to A5.
