Music video

[edit]

The music video for the song is a reward for Backstreet Boys' fans, which features the band members themselves. The video is a tribute to the 1986 documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot, with the Backstreet Boys playing the role of fans of the fictional heavy metal band 'Sphynkter' in May 1985.[5] There are two versions of the video, both directed by Marc Klasfeld and released worldwide on September 3, 2005. The second version, which has the Backstreet Boys performing as the metal band' Sphynkter' throughout the video, was a special reward exclusively leaked online.
