"'Obvious'" is the third and final single released from Irish boy band Westlife's fourth studio album, 'Turnaround' (2003). The track was written by Pilot, Savan Kotecha, and Andreas Carlsson and was produced by Jake Schulze, Kristian Lundin, and Karl Engstrm, with additional production from Quiz & Larossi. It is composed in the traditional versechorus form in E major, with the group's vocals ranging from the chords of C4 to A5. This was the last Westlife single to be recorded with their full original lineup, as Brian McFadden left the month after its release.
"Obvious" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart but marked the departure of Brian McFadden from the band. The band originally planned to write a farewell song for McFadden, as it was his choice to leave; however, due to tour rehearsals and TV appearances, it was decided that "Obvious" would be released as a single instead. As a tribute, CD2 features a medley of McFadden's favourite Westlife songs.
