De drie Ierse heren van The Script scoren in 2008 hun eerste hit in ons land met The Man Who Can’t Be Moved. In 2012 scoren Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan en Glen Power, samen met Will.I.Am, hun grootste hit in ons land als Hall Of Fame de 17e plaats bereikt.

In september van 2014 verschijnt het vierde studioalbum, No Sound Without Silence. Als voorloper daarvan verschijnt het nummer Superheroes dat Alarmschijf wordt en later hun eerste top 10-hit in ons land. Ook de openingstrack, No Good In Goodbye, wordt in november Alarmschijf en een week later hun negende Top 40-hit.

Terwijl Man On A Wire wordt gepresenteerd als de nieuwe single geven de heren op 20 en 21 maart 2015 twee uitverkochte concerten in de Ziggo Dome. Ook is dan bekend dat ze één van de grote namen op Pinkpop zijn. Op 1 september 2017 verschijnt het vijfde studioalbum van The Script, Freedom Child, met Ra!n en Arms Open als singles.

Halverwege september 2019 keert de band terug met de release van de single The Last Time dat later wordt opgevolgd door Something Unreal.
Na een stilte van twee jaar lanceren de heren in augustus 2021 de single I Want It All. In de zomer van 2022 droppen ze de single Dare You To Doubt Me.

Songtekst

Who'd a thought that
I'd be here by myself
Who'd a thought that
You'd be bad for my health
Now I know, now I know
I'm just a man on a wire

Who'd a thought
About the cause and effect
Yesterday’s love is now
Tomorrow's regret
Now I know, now I know
I'm just a man on a wire

No, I can't look down
I'm tryna fight the feeling
I will fall to the ground
If I ever see you, cause
I feel like

I'm walking a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you, you

Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

Who'd a thought
I'd see you with someone else
Who'd a thought
That I'd be in such a mess
Now you know, now you know
I'm just a man on a wire

But I'll walk that line
I’ll try and keep my senses
Make it to the other side
I know the consequences and
I feel like

I'm walking a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you, you

Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

The higher it gets, oh
The more I miss the ground
No safety nets, oh
Now you’re not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down
Feels like

I'm walking a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you, you

Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire, yeah
