Which boy band released the 1997 single “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”?

The Backstreet Boys released the 1997 single “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).” The song was written by Max Martin and Denniz Pop with the group’s members, and it became one of the band’s most recognizable recordings.

Its title created a market-specific puzzle. The group’s second international album was called *Backstreet’s Back*, while the United States initially received an album titled *Backstreet Boys* that combined material from the first two international releases. The single itself was issued internationally in 1997.

The music video used horror-film imagery and elaborate costumes, giving the song a distinctive visual identity. It followed earlier hits such as “Quit Playing Games (with My Heart)” and helped establish the Backstreet Boys as major figures in the late-1990s boy-band boom.
