"What Makes a Man"
Song

"What Makes a Man" is a song by Irish boy band Westlife. It was released as the third single from their second studio album, Coast to Coast (2000). It was their first single not to peak at number one on the UK Singles Chart, being beaten to the Christmas number one by "Can We Fix It?", the theme to the cartoon series, Bob the Builder.

The song was the 39th best selling single of 2000 in the UK, and received a gold sales certification in the UK for over 400,000 copies sold.[1]

Background

In an interview with Worldpop.com, Brian McFadden said: "It's a weak song, and we didn't do much promotional work. Bob deserved it."[2]
