Dear Backstreet Boys, Your New Song Did End up ‘Breaking My Heart’

Backstreet Boys released their newest song, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, and it sounds nothing like them.

If you’re a ‘90s kid, chances are that you grew up as part of the Backstreet Boys fan-club. From feeling euphoric and socially charged with Everybody (Backstreet’s Back), love-sick with As Long As You Love Me or downright emo with Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely, they had a song for it all – and we were hooked!

So when I heard that my favourite ’90s boy-band was coming back with a new “hit-number”– social media being presumptuous – my middle-school self could barely contain her excitement.

But when I saw the video of Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, I had only one thought in mind – Go back to the ‘90s, boys.
