Which boy band had “I Want It That Way” as a single from the album Millennium?

The Backstreet Boys had “I Want It That Way” as a single from the album Millennium.

Released in 1999, the song became one of the group’s signature recordings and a major international hit. It was written by Andreas Carlsson and Max Martin, with Martin and Kristian Lundin among its producers.

The song is known for its memorable chorus, polished vocal harmonies, and emotionally ambiguous lyrics. That ambiguity has prompted years of discussion about what the title phrase means, but it does not change the song’s authorship or its place on Millennium.

“I Want It That Way” is sometimes incorrectly attributed to NSYNC because both groups were central to the late-1990s teen-pop boom. The track is specifically a Backstreet Boys recording, and Millennium became one of the era’s best-selling pop albums.
