"What About Now" is the seventh single from American rock band Daughtry's self-titled debut album.

Westlife’s official music video is marked as the last film the large part Vatnajökull Glacier in Iceland was seen in because of the distortion caused by a subsequent volcanic eruption.

The video is a social commentary, depicting several people and places affected by poverty, natural disasters, war, and other world issues.

An acoustic version of the song was performed by the band on a trip to Uganda, Africa in aid of the April 9, 2008 telecast of the fund raising charity event Idol Gives Back.

On December 11, 2009, it was performed at the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize concert in honor of US President Barack Obama by the Irish pop band Westlife.

It also entered at number seventeen on the Canadian Hot 100, giving the band their fourth top twenty hit there as well.

On October 4, 2009, Daughtry re-entered the UK Singles Chart Top 40 again at number 39, due to Westlife's version being released.

[28][29] In the first week of its release Westlife's cover of What About Now reached number two in the Irish singles chart taking the place of Alexandra Burke's "Bad Boys" and only beaten by Cheryl Cole's "Fight for This Love" which spent a second week at the number one position.

Nick Levine from Digital Spy commented that: "Their version for the "Daughtry song" is no great reinvention, adding a lick of extra pop gloss to the manly balladry of the original.

The strings swell like Louis Walsh's bank balance, the chorus is as big and stirring as Goliath's sugar spoon, and the boys deliver every line with their usual note-perfect earnestness.

If you remember Die Another Day, the Bond film, it's like the contrast of the ice and the really modern things like the sexy, fashionable clothing and cars.".

[47] The full video was released on the band's official website and UK music channels on November 6, 2009.

It was directed by Philip Andelman and filmed on location near Jökulsárlón at the Vatnajökull Glacier in Iceland, the biggest in Europe.

Feehily later said on his official blog that the actual location of the music video was already distorted because of a subsequent volcanic eruption in Iceland.
