That’s right!

hahahahaha TRUE 🤣😂

Amen to that!!! Been a fan since Day 1 and can’t wait to see them in concert!!!

😂😂

What This song is 20 years old

@@Skyward_flux3 it’s actually 22 years old I think it was released in 1999

Oh really

There oughta be a WatchMojo list for Top 10 Love Songs That Are Actually About the Fans!

the 80s-90s all the way

I was like 8 or 9 years old playing with my friends all day outside and we would share CD's our parents got us and use our walkmans. The music was better and more fun.

i was 11 in '99, so grateful i was there for all of it.

@@taradois I was 8 in '99 lol

Best time ever

Agree. BSB is the standard of Boybands before. 🔥🔥

You forgot about westlife

@@hazemnasri5118 Dude no I didn't BSB are still the best next to them it's the New kids on the block

Yeah westlife are pretty good as well, but I do love backstreet boys I have to say.@@hazemnasri5118

​@@hazemnasri5118 Westlife is one of the best Boybands but they failed to get famous in the US, but they were bigger outside it. Asia and Europe and some parts of America.

I wish more artists were this grateful. They put this out when they were sizzling hot!

It is one of the coolest songs ever as such.. for sure. Root of all true success is GRATITUDE & they showed it here

This is so cute i cannot

they seem to include one in every album since millennium and larger then life in black and blue its everyone

​@@user-cq1ek3px9jsadly that generation was about talent...not saying the artists today aren't talented but let's face it back then everyone was dropping hits an they were all popular witch is why we can remember a song after years of not hearing it.

My friend laughs because one minute im air guitaring to Metallica and then my backstreet boys pop up lmao BSB❤

Right?!

Mi too

I feel ya...

I'm also guilty 😏🤣

amen

Hoping they can thank you in a different way? Come on

Amen

Yes Backstreet and Britney Spears

I can't imagine kids being into this band lol

It's because the plot is deeper. lol

Count me in bro m 34 still hoping on my bed..... judge me all they or anyone can but I forbid myself to grow old

88 babies stand up! 🎉

37 here and still loving this stuff! Haha

28, and I still remember when this song/album came out when I was in kindergarten and loved the style of the music; never saw the video till now and if I did my little brain would love it with so much love to sci-fi, video games and anime

I'm 36 and I can still remember the choreography!!! BSB FOREVER!!!

You're so right. I don't know but I've been listening to it nonstop for two weeks lol

Word brother

Well said mate well said 😭 brings so nostalgic yet so fresh.. people don't make music like these nowadays

No accounting for taste I guess... If you wanna call this crap music go ahead.

@@GreenAshR47 Hate all you want, but this song alone sounds better than anything that’s come out of the Pop genre within the last decade lol

Who let you out of your pod?

sameee

same here

it should be, they spent 2 million dollars making it

my mom love them

P

Couldn’t agree me more. My younger sister loves the boy bands from the turn of the millennium!

Take That. Gary Barlow.

Awwwwww❤😍

+metal pillow Yep, I was in 4th grade in 1999, and I was one of those dudes who proudly blasted Nsync and Backstreet boys from my walkman or boombox lol. aqgreed, 1997-2001 best years of my life by so fucking so motherfucking far, i would give anhthing to relive that innocence, that excitement, that carefree life..compared to being an adult...which fucking sucks...everything changed after 9/11.

Dude, DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED!!!!!!!! I remember all the girls in my 1st grade class jammin out to two things, for the boys it was BSB/NSync for the girls it was Britney Spears or Spice Girls. Man if you didnt have one of their CDs you werent in considered not one of us. I remember the days of battling my friends with our Pokemon. Christmas morning and I get my first gameboy color (lime green) and Pokemon Yellow version. That started a love affair with pokemon games that continues for me to this day, even though im 23. I was also a huge Digimon fan, so much so that I wore gloves to school like they did on the show, needless to say people thought I was weird but I was so obsessed I didnt care. I was sort of a tomboy back then everything from Power Rangers to pokemon/digimon, Ninja Turtles, Action figures, Star Wars I was into. But I was also a huge fan of girl stuff like sailor moon and the Spice Girls (I made it abundantly clear to my friends that whenever we would role play I was always scary spice). Yea technology sucked back then but it didnt matter you know why? Because between music and television we had more than enough to keep ourselves entertained, my house didnt even have cable and television was stil god back then, thanks mainly in part to Kids WB and ABC One Saturday Morning, Disney was the shit....I mean THE SHIT in the 90, hell even politics were less insane back the (excluding the lewinsky scandal). Now this was just in America obviously Rwandans,Eastern Europeans and the British Royal family dont look back on the 90s with such fondness. Despite that times were still good on this side of the atlantic, hell we even had an economic surplus. But then Bush got elected, 9/11 happened and starting in the late 2000s the quality of music and television just went downhill. See man you almost got me on the verge of tears. I mean dont get me wrong I love the high quality tech we have now but I cant help but feel all this immense progress came at a great cost. It not just our childhood, everyone longs for the days of their youth to a certain extent but it was the world we live in that made our childhood great. The 90s wasnt just the last decade of the 20th century/2nd millenium but it truly was the last GREAT decade. Ok im done

Ahhh born 90 also!! Can't believe we're 25 now! Ya those were days, I listened to bsb nsync Britney every day and avril too!! I think that was the cutoff of good pop music, now it's taken a turn and it's never going back to what it once was. High 5 to the 90s 200s crowd!

Brittany Ashley 2000s*

"nada" lol

Fun and games! Dotcom bubbles, crappy CGI Jabba and Jar Jar Binks in our Star Wars, and of course we can't forget the fun that was 9/11!

💯..41 here

37

37 here (born 1985)..and it is true of what you said..this generation of kids will never know this era of music...this was our golden years of fun and being a teenager!

I'm 33 and I had the chance to experience as a kid the 90s and as a teenager the early 2000s. I miss so much those times but thanks youtube for taking me back in time through this songs 🤗❤️

aww me too... like it back then, now i loovve the song so much

Me also!! When i heard this song again recently, now that i can understand it, i felt so in awe with what they did!

Small budget bands.

This video is one of the most expensive music videos of all time costing about 2 MIL. Nowadays artists probably can't afford that lol

Kpop has the production value you might be missing nowadays. Even if you can't understand it the visuals are there.

GummyDinosaursify neither am I

GummyDinosaursify Pretty much it. Plus music piracy barely existed back then, a thing that really changed the economy of the music industry.

Joey Davis MTV or the 90's?

Yea bro.

I hear you. Much older, I've been nostalgic for the 80's for quite a while now ! Adding some 90's gems like this one to the bunch ;)

It's never coming back my friend!

Actually were just beginning the 1940s when technology was the height of the era!Fiber optics, transmission of radio,the new era where satellites would circumnavigate the globe.And now idea of transmitting imaging by thought.I would say the future is a phase1.

"I wish I could thank you in a different way. C'moooon." Pattycake?

Whats more great is that it gives us courage.. make us larger than life..everytime were down u can make it right..how your love affecting our reality..😉

If I had enough space in the area I live in, I'd dance to all the songs I made my own dances to by them as well as other singers! @@terrierickson439

Me too also

You are 50 years older than me.....

That is why they will always be immortalized in my heart. 💖

And that's why they are still performing (and complete btw). They are so thankful that they spend time with the fans on their tours, photo opportunities, cruise, and after parties. :)

exactly! which other bands make a song about it? bsb fan for life.

+3StarLogo How did I never notice this! Changes the meaning of the song :P

What r the other songs! I want 2 listen 2 them!!!

And the lyrics tell the harsh reality of fame as well.When I listen to the lyrics,I felt so BAD for them.Amazing,talented guys

They are really amazing and they are still pretty successful which is really cool

Same age and sentiments!

29 here and the feeling is mutual. ❤

It's warning u.

You’re reading way too much into a 90s boy band. Go the fuck outside.

This album was what made them super famous

A lot of bands/artists have always have a love letter song or songs to their fans, it's normal for any of them do that.

They literally said this is the meaning of the song asshat. Who hurt you? 🤭🤷‍♀️

That’s awesome!!!!

@@rosietorres1974 thank you

Great effort you got there 😊 congratulations

Awesome!

So cool!!💙🙌

that also happened in the 80's as well

When a dream miss to achieve! All started with space odyssey 2001 I right?, cuz it was 1968!!!

and yet look dated as fuck XD

That happened in the late 90s because of y2k and the turn of the millennium. But we can all agree they look extremely dated now lol

@Mania C lol no tf

Nice story. 🙂

Not much of a surprise to be honest, considering they had to buy several dancing AI's, buy at least one spaceship... not to mention the regular staff required for a music video. And this was back in the 1999 mind you.

Lucas is an expensive director. This is almost as good as Star Wars: A Holiday Special.

Backstreet Boys: Let's make a music video like this. Reality: How much did it cost you...?

Is scream, Michael Jackson.

This song deserves a million likes.

I'm 48 and still love them!

Crap! 38 here just happened

Bro u sooo right mind blown

MalAddict HOLY SHIT

It ..I just realised that now...😢..mind blown!!!

Are y'all serious😂😂

Yeah, this song is dedicated to all the fans of BSB

I left comment here because I saw my "BTS" here lol. I think just because of different generation. Both are amazing,

i think you are right, i love 1D but i like them better on their own. They look so happy as solo artists. The backstret boys really made it cuz they are friends in true life i think

@@halleystyle yeah and each BSB members already made solo album but they still committed to the band

fully agree！

I agree with you even though I was a 1D fan (before their hiatus).

👍👍

Agree with u... 90s the best decade.

u right

best movies , tv shows and music were back in the 70s through the 90s and very few in early 00s now it all sucks for exception of a handful in all listed

The 90's wasn't perfect but I'm glad to have been born back then. When I think of the 90's, Backstreet Boys always comes to mind.

Good music is tough to find on mainstream radio but thank god we have Sirius XM

This was the time of Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and Christina Aguilera. It wasn't that pure, though it was better than it is now.

Oh I'm definitely comparing based on today's music... :P

You got me wrong I didn't say that there isn't good music today. There is MUCH better music today than in 2000 i agree with you. It's just that the only ones promoted and seen everywhere are not so much the good ones but the rubbish when in 2000s was the opposite :)

Alina Leti lol you really think this era of pop didn't run on sex appeal and innuendo....? nostalgia really does blind people

Same, but I'm 24 years old

yessir 😤😤❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰

I still listen

s i m p s

Yeahhh

Yeah, better than Nstink.

dna world tour was epic. it wasn’t necessarily nostalgic for me (i’m 12), but i swear it was one of the best experiences i’ve ever had. never thought i’d be screaming the lyrics to “get down” at midnight before school! i was pretty much a zombie the next day (i had a test due so i had to go to school), but i wouldn’t have it any other way. they’ve still got it goin on! edit: when i tell you kevin has not aged at all-

Same! I watched The Backstreet Boys live at Mumbai, India 2023. Listened and watched them over videos for 2.5 decades, totally Dream come true! ❤

I would love to see them live tbh still on my bucket list

ENVIOUS AF!!

Are they touring again next year?

And forever

Forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 2024 march

not, that's ❤Michael Jackson❤ who did that 😁

90s was best decade. No inflation. Affordable homes. Affordable prices. Since 9/11 everything never been same since.

I can't stop watchin' and listen them!!!!🤩🤩🤩🎶🎶🎶🤯

👍👍

All the time 😂 cant afford tickets to their concert now since I found out too late so this works lol

Omg I remember when I was a groupie so many years ago XD

Meeeeeee

Lmao 🤣

This deserves more likes

LMAO OOF

Yeah

I just saw a cat commercial that looked better than cats lol.

Exactly what I said. I grew up with this song

Yup Backstreet Boys for life

Calm down there bud

This song never really died lol So it didn't bring anything back from the dead It's kind of like if some movie trailer had thriller in it and they said oh well it brought thriller back

I’ll always think of that scene from Napoleon Dynamite (2004).

Haha awwww but nsync and bsb are besties

YESSS we need to go back in time to when music was this good

I understand you!! :D I need to go back to 90's/00''s as well!! :D

I remember sitting on MTV just to watch this masterpiece. Bsb is hype

Yes! When MTV was actually music, good music!!

@@melodyal3357 couldn't agree with you more

Having BackStreet Boys in my childhood was the best thing that could of happen to me🧡🥲🍯

There producers checked it.

They were so awesome at the concert recently near Seattle. It was my 1st concert. They were super cool and appreciated all of us

I saw that GEICO commercial..the best

Never forget the true epitome of boy bands. So good that even boys liked it as much as girls. I still love the Star Wars element such as the droid dancers and laser fire. Yet the modern dance and characterization of the band members still holds good to today as far as I'm concerned.

Me encanta lo mejor de los años 90

@@jorgegutierrez8558 yo me acuerdo que en los 90, al menos en mi país se corría el rumor que para el año 2000 íbamos a vivir como en el futuro, con naves espaciales, transporte volador, lleno de robots y todas esas cosas como en las películas. Así que en 1999 era una emoción enorme esperar para año nuevo, dando inicio al 2000 y este video clip sale mostrando el "futuro" xD

Memories 😔😔

great album

1999 became a battle for #1 spot on MTV's #TRL between #BSB and #NSync

i am a metal fan as well,but these guys were good...

The thought that scares me most... Will people look back on 1D one day with the same nostalgia as we do the BSB..... Say it won't be so!

im currently downloading songs like this that i know most people seem to enjoy for something to listen to in the car because most of my friends and all the girls i know cant stand my metal hahaha

same thing here

i feel u bro im also listen metal hardcore but still this ahahha 90`s Boyband great not now 1D -_-

Right?? ❤

If only we'd had known most would have been listening for free with this magic screen that's glued to our noses. And headphones without wires

Probably the best year ever :)

There was a lot of fear around "Y2K." I remember my Dad stocking water and supplies in the basement.

Oh, while I was reading the lyrics I immediately thought of a fan-idol relationship!. It's nice to know it was a actually a song dedicated to fans 😊

30 August 2021 Thank you Backstreet Boys for the great energy you put out!

Yep. BSB is known to always put out a fan's song. Brian help co-wrote "Larger than Life". 😍💖 BSB have so many fan's song for example, "Permanent Stain" (co-wrote by Nick), "Feels Like Home" (co-wrote by Howie, Nick, and Kevin), "The One" (co-wrote by Brian), "The Perfect Fan" (aka Mother's day song co-wrote by Brian for his mother and brought in his HS choir into the song), "Soldier" (co-wrote by Howie and Nick), "I Want It That Way" (they didn't wrote it but they brought their fans into their MV), "OK", "Bigger", "In A World Like This", "Everyone", "Shape of My Heart", etc...some songs they didn't wrote it but ignite the idea that they wanted a fan's song for their long time fans. Two songs that all 5 BSB members wrote complete by themselves without help were *"The Answers to Our Lives"* and *"Time"* from their Black and Blue album (2000). I see those two songs as an autobiography songs. Very few of the BSB fan's songs like *"Everyone"* (didn't wrote this song but had two longtime writers who work with BSB since the beginning) show subtle hints they were struggling behind the curtains but thanking their fans....this was amidst ponzi scheme started by their creator/manager taking majority of their money it was in the media/magazine/newspaper for a bit and had great fan supporting them from around the globe...before social media. The internet was starting to become a household thing.
