Background
Boyzone's fifth album was originally going to be released in late 2010, but it was shelved due to Ronan Keating's commitments on The X Factor Australia. Due to the success of their previous album Brother (2010), Boyzone decided to celebrate 20 years since they began with a new studio album and tour. It was announced on 24 September 2013 that the brand new album would be released on 25 November 2013, and it became available to pre-order from Amazon. In September 2013, it was announced that Boyzone were recording their new studio album BZ20 at Metrophonic with Brian Rawling producing it. The band signed a new four-album recording deal with Warner Music to release BZ20 on 22 November 2013 through the Rhino label.

BZ20
by: BoyzoneStreets are finally emptying
Ten shutters coming down
I’m watching as the city starts to breathe again
The mad in crowd dispersing, people going home
Just an hour left before the eve descend
When the world feels right
In the silent night
(Chorus)
Sometimes if I stopped you closed my eyes
I believe that it’s all true, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
Like the hour before Christmas
Bells call from cathedrals
Star fall from the skies
Children sleeping sound in their beds tonight
Loved ones gone before us
Like footprints in the snow
Christmas cards remember we will never let them go
In that midnight hour
In that silence
(Chorus)
Sometimes if I stopped you closed my eyes
I believe that it’s all true, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
Snowflakes falling into morning
Time is standing still
Heart now hear the angels sing
And our new king`s born today
(Chorus)
Sometimes if I stopped you closed my eyes
I believe that it’s all true, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
When angels hear our call
In the hour before Christmas
Oh Christmas Eve
