Hey, Everybody: Backstreet’s Back With Max Martin

noah | November 3, 2009 3:00 pm

“Bigger” is the first collaboration between the turn-of-the-millennium boy band and the man who co-wrote “I Want It That Way” for them since 2005, and it’s pretty awesome in an effervescent way; it opens with some delicate acoustic-strumming, then opens up into a chorus that floats along on a string of rapidfire “la la la la la”-ing. And there’s a guitar solo! I wonder when we can declare those officially “back”? Uh, no pun intended. Clip after the jump.

Hey, come to think of it, this reminds me of that Justin Timberlake song that came out earlier this year that also uses the word “Bigger” in its title! Also, every time I see Brian Littrell now, I think “the swine flu.” Aw, poor guy. Backstreet Boys – Bigger [YouTube] Backstreet Boys [Official site]
