Speaking about their new album, Kevin Richardson said, “We were able to bring all of our influences and styles into one coherent piece of work. These songs are great representation of who we are as individuals and who we are as a group. It's our DNA. We’re really proud of that.”

The Backstreet Boys made a name for themselves in the 90s with hits including, ‘Quit Playing Games (with My Heart)’, ‘I Want It That Way’ and ‘Shape of My Heart’.

‘We've Got It Goin' On’ was AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell’s debut single in the UK reaching Number 3 in the charts in 1995.
