It's a song that someone sang on American Idol. He won and made that song popular, but did you know that it's a song from an Irish boyband called Westlife? And have you heard it? I love the original version much much better.

Yeah the song is cool, but it is an old album by Westlife. But why people do say that, Westlife composed copyrighted songs, is it true about that? or what do you think?

I don't think Flying Without Wings was composed by Westlife. And all songs are copyrighted. To be able to sing one in a new album, you must have the authority given by the writers.

Little known fact. The song was actually WROTE for the boyband Backstreet Boys, and they turned it down :) So westlife got it and it ended up being one of their most popular songs, and one that they are known for. I love the song, I love every version of the song, it brings tears to my eyes.
