Five years after the release of their most recent album “In a world like this”, iconic boyband Backstreet Boys dropped a brand new song “Don’t go breaking my heart”.
Recorded right after the end of Las Vegas residency “Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life”, the chilled electro pop track was written by Wrabel, Jamie Hartman & Stuart Crichton.
“The minute we heard this song we knew it was special” said bandmate Kevin Richardson about the new single.
“I want to create new memories. We’ve been singing the same songs for almost 25 years” added Brian Littrell in an interview. “It’s not that we’re not excited to sing our old hits, but we want to grow, too. We don’t want to be stuck in what was. We want to continue to grow with our fans”.
In the accompanying music video, directed by longtime Backstreet Boys collaborators Rich + Tone, we can see our fab five in impressive dance performances.
Lyrics:
I got mixed emotions
Did I finally find me a river that could lead me out to the ocean?
Cause I’ve only ever known the kind of love that leaves you bodied and broken
So forgive me for my mixed emotions, yeah yeah
I’m not that kind of person who can fall in and out of love with you
That’s not what love’s supposed to do
I’m not that kind of person who can fall in and out of love with you
That’s not what love’s supposed to do
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Cause it’s the only one I got
Cause it’s the only one I got
Am I being too open?
Cause I told you everything I have to say and now we’re having a moment
Does it make you wanna pick up all your things and drive away like it’s stolen?
Just forgive me if I’m being too open, no no no no, yeah yeah yeah
I’m not that kind of person who can fall in and out of love with you
That’s not what love’s supposed to do (what love’s supposed to do)
I’m not that kind of person who can fall in and out of love with you
That’s not what love’s supposed to do
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Cause it’s the only one I got
Cause it’s the only one I got
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Cause it’s the only one I got
Cause it’s the only one I got
I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised
But now I’m all in ’cause of you
So if you’re gonna love me, love me right, yeah
But if you’re gonna be someone that hurts somebody just for fun
Then do it to a heart that isn’t mine
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Cause it’s the only one I got
Cause it’s the only one I got
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Baby, don’t go breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Cause it’s the only one I got
It’s the only one, it’s the only one I got
Cause it’s the only one I got
Baby don’t go…
