Backstreet Boys (often abbreviated as BSB)
are an American vocal group, formed
in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The group consists of Nick
Carter, Howie
Dorough, AJ McLean,
and cousins Brian Littrell,
and Kevin Richardson.
The group rose to fame with their debut
international album, Backstreet Boys (1996). In the
following year, they released their second international álbum Backstreet's
Back (1997) along with their self-titled U.S. debut album, which
continued the group's success worldwide. They rose to superstardom with their
third studio álbum Millennium (1999) and its follow-up
album, Black & Blue (2000). After a two-year hiatus, they regrouped and released a
comeback álbum Never Gone (2005). After the conclusion of the Never Gone Tour in 2006, Richardson left the group to pursue other interests. The
group then released two albums as a quartet: Unbreakable (2007) and This Is Us (2009).
In 2012, the group announced that Richardson
had rejoined them permanently. In the following year, they celebrated their
20th anniversary and released their first independent album, In
a World Like This (2013). Their 2019 album DNA debuted at number one, more than two
decades after the group formed, and 19 years after they last topped in 2000.
They also became the first boy band to top the U.S. album charts in three decades.
The Backstreet Boys have sold over 100
million records worldwide, making them the best-selling
boy band of all time, and one of the world's best-selling music artists. They
are the first group since Led
Zeppelin to have their first ten albums reach
the top 10 on the Billboard 200,
and the only boy band to do so. The group received a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame on April 22, 2013. The group also
released their first documentary movie, titled Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of in January 2015

Here we are in the arms of one another
And we still go on searching for each other
Knowing that hate is wrong and love is
right
for us tonight
When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight
CHORUS
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win
first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish
eyes
Let it be if we're nothing more than
dreamers
Who believe that we see no wall between us
How can they be in my heart and in my mind,
when all I could find
When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win
first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish
eyes
I loved you from a distance thought
I couldn't reach that far
I can't believe how close that we are
When I look into your Spanish eyes
And the world is so beautiful tonight
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win
first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish
eyes.
