[Brian] In recent years, the scene has shifted to electro & dance style, and it also really feels that music shares the same cycle with the fashion. Our group is trying to returning back to the traditional dance and pop line. Because all we knew is that we want to represent the best of us.

 

[AJ] During the last tour we had a conversation about what sound we want and which direction we want to go. We listed up the talents we wanted to work with after we came to an agreement, and as a result we basically achieved the goal. Thanks to all of the people who participated in this album, we did a great job.

 

 They have many interesting ways for invitation. It’s admirable that Back Street Boys gathered so many hot creators.

[Howie] This album doesn’t mean that we’re flying back to the original style; instead we’re trying to challenge something new to improve ourselves. So all of us made a slambang effort to call our idol producers, like T-Pain,Jim Jonsin who produced the hit single <Kiss Me Thru The Phone> for Soulja Boy, and Claude Kelly who wrote <Circus> for Britney Spears, <Without You> for Kelly Clarkson, they’re all the producers who’re now successful for pop radio.

[Brian] During the tour, we did the first recording at Manchester. It was <Undone> by Ryan Tedder(leona lewis <Bleeding Love>) , and it’s really a cool song with the contrast between the melody and the sound, and also the undertone of falsetto.

[Nick] The producer of the title song <This Is Us> is Jim Jonsin who we wanted to work with on the top of the list. He represented the vibraphone of Miami bass club. Wyclef Jean came to the studio during the recording also praised a lot for this song. I hope this will be our best smash hit.
