[@margaretrees8662]

I remember this song coming out but definitely not this video!!! Maybe cos its UK? This was excellent ❣

[@Andrew-fg6zk]

Fun fact: the group members paid most of the production costs of the video themselves, since their record label didn't think it was worth spending so much on a video - it was a whopping 1 million dollars!!! The group even had to sue the record company to get their money back after the song became a huge success. I'm gonna go ahead and say the 330 million views on youtube are enough to prove the people at their record company were clueless! :) Amazing song, amazing video!

[@Tar-Isilme]

This song is the first single of the second album "Backstreet's Back". Back in those days there was a strong prejudice towards bands like Backstreet Boys, they said they wouldn't last beyond the first album, they had 10.✌😁 #ktbspa

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

BSB released their international debut album in 1996. Backstreet's Back was the first single of the second international album which came in the following year so they weren't away for long. 12 songs from those records (not including this) were released on the US debut album, in 1997 as well. They had gone to Germany to get traction from Europe since they weren't doing the kind of music that was popular in America at the time. Maybe they were thinking this as their comeback song when they returned to US but it didn't make sense to include it on the American version of the album since rare people knew them there.

[@sb5062]

Actually they got popular in the US because of "quit playing games" and everyone thought they would be one hit wonders so "Everybody" was a song that kinda meant to prove people wrong.

I'm both young and old enough to know the Backstreet Boys and also Antonio Fargas from Starsky & Hutch as the bus driver lol. It wasn't much of a comeback song, but it kinda was, this is part of their second album which ended up being even more successful than their debut. These guys are more than a boy band tho, they're actually an awesome vocal group.

[@Mainecoonlady.]

They didn’t really break up. Boy bands just stopped being popular. Like most child stars they.... Nick had addiction and serious family issues, AJ has (and still struggles) with addiction, as well as Brian. Then they started fighting. Nick was frustrated by Brian, whose addiction tampered with his ability to hit those notes. I don’t recall issues with Howie and Kevin other than their impatience. During the difficult time, Kevin (the oldest) did some solo work and spent more time with his wife and kids. He did leave. When things started working out again, he was back. There was actually a documentary done. Was quite raw, honest and a little sad.

They did not go anywhere. It's only because it was the lead single from their second international album "Backstreet's Back", which was released in 1997 - only one year after their international debut in 1996. But the song title didn't make much sense for the USA, because their first international album "Backstreet Boys" was only released in Europe and some other parts of the world, but not in the USA. The first US album by the Backstreet Boys (which is also called "Backstreet Boys" like their international debut, but it had a totally different tracklist, which was a mixture of their two international albums) was released the same day as their second international album "Backstreet's Back"
