Backstreet Boys announce new single, video

BSB will also headlineย Good Morning America Concert Seriesย this summer

Nineties nostalgia continues as the Backstreet Boys announce they have signed with RCA Records and have released their electric new single โ€œDonโ€™t Go Breaking My Heart” and music video directed by long time BSB collaborators Rich + Tone. The announcement comes on the heels of the boy band’s 25th anniversary.

โ€œThe minute we heard this song we knew it was special,โ€ says Kevin Richardson. โ€œI geeked out over the piano and synths. When that groove drops on the second verse, COME ON! Great verse, hook and melodies. Just makes you wanna listen over and over again.โ€

In support of the new single, BSB will return to the Good Morning America Summer Concert Series in New Yorkโ€™s Central Park on July 13th. The group will also perform at a series of summer radio shows like this yearโ€™s KIIS FM Wango Tango before returning to their record-breaking Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life Las Vegas residency.

Recorded immediately after the first leg of their highly successful Las Vegas residency, โ€œDonโ€™t Go Breaking My Heartโ€ has the energy of a group who had a remarkable year and who channeled their excitement into a new song that hits harder and funkier than ever before.

Itโ€™s hard not to think the group’s latest activities didnโ€™t shape this track. Whether it’s the creative relationship with Florida Georgia Line that earned BSB their first No. 1 country radio single; working with a variety of new and young producers; thereโ€™s an undeniable energy and creativity surrounding the Backstreet Boys and โ€œDonโ€™t Go Breaking My Heartโ€ is an extraordinary new track from a group who continues to impress 25 years into their storied career.

โ€œWeโ€™ve been working our ass off for 25 years,โ€ says AJ McLean โ€œand with the support of RCA and our contemporaries, we know weโ€™ll be performing for fans, both old and new, for a really long time. It feels like weโ€™re just getting started.โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t Go Breaking My Heartโ€ โ€“ now available on all digital platforms – was written by Stephen Wrabel (Ellie Goulding) and produced by Stuart Crichton (Kesha) and Jamie Hartman (James Bay).
