This song is sadly beautiful. Kevin lost his dad to colon cancer, Brian had heart surgery, Howie's sister passed away from Lupus. The group lost their friend and music producer Denniz Pop from stomach cancer (35). These guys just seem to get better with time. Anton, AJ is my favorite too.

Nick takes the lead in many of the hits and the most rockish songs together with AJ, he's in fact one of the most talented vocalists in the band, maybe next to AJ although others say that Brian has the best voice, but Nick just has so many registers, he can go from sweet, angelic voice to a raspy/bitter tone and create different vibes, he's got one of the strongest voices inside the band actually

Each of the sections relates to an experience each of them had in real life. It's been a while, but I believe it was: Brian was filming the video for Everybody and collapsed on set (you can actually see him in the video for everybody looking dazed and confused when they're on the floor) due to an undiagnosed heart problem, the scene with him in the hospital related to that. AJ had a six year long relationship that broke off, so his scenes are about that love sickness. Kevin lost his father when he was young, those videos he's watching are home videos from when he was a kid. Howie lost a sister to Lupus, the girl in the cafe running to him is meant to be her. Nick (this is the one I'm least sure of) had some sort of falling out with family who told him he was useless or something and was out walking alone when he saved someone from being run over. The last one I'm least sure of as that was just told to me way back when and I can't really find anything on it, but the video basically speaks to experiences close to each of their hearts.

This song was written by Max Martin when his mentor, producer Dennis Pop, passed away way too young. They created the Cheiron sound that dominated pop in the late 90’s/early 00’s. BSB knew him well too and that’s why the bus says Denniz st. I find it heartbreaking.

This song follows each of the band members separately in a sad story, until they unite during the instrumental break and final choruses. The video, somewhat darker in tone than any of the band's previous releases, touches on several of the band's real-life issues. Brian had undergone open heart surgery the previous year for a defect he has had since birth. A.J. holds a picture of a girlfriend which is dedicated to a dear friend of his who died in a car accident. The video used footage that represents Kevin and his deceased father. Nick's scene sees him save a woman to represent the fan who almost got run over by a bus. The woman who Howie sees represents his sister, who died a year earlier of the disease Lupus. Additionally, the bus that A.J. rides is marked for "Denniz Street", and is driven by an actor who resembles Denniz PoP (who died in 1998 and produced some Backstreet Boys tracks, besides being the mentor of the song's producer Max Martin). An alternate version of the video was dedicated in his honor.

Sometimes its only his voice, but it sounds like there is more people singing cause they make it "wider" but its only Brians voice really. Like on this in The First chours and Second chours, and The entire Get Another Boyfriend (my fav song of them.). Watch that One live... The video with 1 million views or something. But its a theme through all their songs. Brians voice is used to give The chourse a "drive". I feel his voice is The most pleasent to listen to.

By this point, the teenage girls had matured as well so this kind of song spoke volumes to us young things lol.
