AJ McLean Reflects on Family Life and Backstreet Boys Legacy

The singer shares his daughter's mixed feelings about their iconic hit, as the band prepares for a Las Vegas residency and a reimagined album release.

AJ McLean revealed that his 12-year-old daughter Elliott dislikes the Backstreet Boys' 1999 hit 'I Want It That Way' due to teasing at school.
McLean humorously admitted to singing the song to embarrass Elliott during school drop-offs, a classic dad move.
Despite her distaste for the hit song, Elliott secretly enjoys some of the band's other tracks, according to McLean.
The Backstreet Boys announced a Las Vegas residency, 'Into the Millennium,' scheduled for July and August 2025 at the Sphere.
The band will also release a reimagined version of their 1999 album, Millennium 2.0, featuring six new demos and remastered tracks.
