Backstreet Boys are celebrating this weekend’s 20th anniversary of their album Millennium with a reimagined version of smash hit “I Want It That Way.”
Howie Dorough tweeted just after midnight: “Thank you for all of the love and support! This one was made especially for you and to celebrate our 20 years of Millennium together.” Nick Carter shared: "hank you for 20 years of incredible memories ... Cheers to another 20 years!"
The fresh rendition puts vocals front and centre backed by acoustic guitar and piano.
“Believe us when we say, no one else comes close to having as amazing fans as we do,” the group said, in a release. “It’s gotta be you guys, We would never be able to say enough ‘thank yous’ but wanted to share a little something to show how grateful we are.”
