"More than That" is a song by American boy band Backstreet Boys. It was released on April 17, 2001, as the third single from their fourth studio album, Black & Blue (2000). The song was written by Adam Anders, Franciz, and LePont and produced by the latter two.[1]

"More than That" reached number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and ran for 20 weeks, and number 12 on the UK Singles Chart, ending their 13th consecutive top-10 run, the last being "The Call" which peaked at number eight. It performed poorly compared to other singles of the Backstreet Boys, failing to reach the top 10 in any of their main markets. The song appears on the band's first compilation album, The Hits – Chapter One (2001).

Music video[edit]

The music video was directed by Marcus Raboy. The video features two sets of scenes: one in which the band sings in a desert hangar with a large movie screen behind them showing various scenes behind them, including a desert, a city with a busy traffic, a cloudy sky, lightning, and sunbreak. The other scenes feature the band both walking in the desert, as a group, and driving in two convertible cars. One with AJ McLean as the driver and Nick Carter as the passenger. The other one with Brian Littrell as the driver, Howie Dorough as the passenger, and Kevin Richardson in the backseat.
