Discover the story of the song > Uptown Girl – Westlife

The song is about a man who is in love with a woman who comes from a wealthy background and is used to a different lifestyle than he is. He feels that she is looking for someone more exciting and adventurous, like a "downtown man", but he wants to prove that he can be that person for her. The chorus suggests that he believes she will eventually see that he is a good match for her, despite their differences in upbringing.
