The Backstreet Boys dropped their first new music since 2013 early Thursday morning with a single called “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” The band, which celebrated 25 years together last month, will release an as-yet-untitled album later in the year featuring the new song. The Backstreet Boys’ last studio album, In a World Like This, was released in 2013. “The minute we heard this song, we knew it was special,” said bandmate Kevin Richardson in a statement. “I geeked out over the piano and synths. When that groove drops on the second verse, COME ON. Great verse, hook, and melodies. Just makes you wanna listen over and over again.” We’ll let you decide for yourself... ||||| Backstreet Boys Tease New Single 'Coming Soon,' Announce More Vegas Residency Dates 
 
 Backstreet's back, all right -- with new music and new Vegas shows. 
 
 The Backstreet Boys just announced that their Larger Than Life Vegas run is far from over, unveiling 21 new dates spanning from July 25 to Nov. 17. In celebration of the latest additions, BSB visited the Twitter headquarters in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Feb. 6) to answer some fan questions in a live Q&A;, which also revealed some even bigger news: Their next single is on the way. 
 
 "Yes, we have a single. We've chosen it," Kevin Richardson said in response to a question about their next release. "It's coming out real soon. I mean, really soon." 
 
 The guys didn't disclose what "soon" means, but hinted that it could be within the next few days or weeks. "It's on Backstreet time," AJ McLean jokingly added. 
 
 Despite the cryptic hints, Richardson decided to give fans a little taste of what's in store when another tweeter asked whether the song will be a ballad or a dance track. As Howie Dorough explained that there's "some tempo to it," Richardson ran across the screen playing a short, upbeat snippet featuring the words "baby don't go breaking my heart." (Listen below.) 
 
 As the guys have previously declared, they're working on their 10th studio album. No further details have been released, but a press release with the new Vegas dates said the album coincides with BSB's 25th anniversary later this year, so a 2018 release is likely. 
 
 Whenever the new Backstreet single is set to arrive, it should definitely be before the summer, as McLean said they'd possibly be adding the song to their Vegas set list come July or August. "We're definitely going to keep trying to let the Vegas show grow," he said. 
 
 Presale tickets are available to BSB Fan Club members now, and general on-sale starts Friday. Get your tickets here, and take a look at the new dates and clip of the new single below.

 Everybody, rock your body, because the Backstreet Boys — the boy band sensation of the late 1990s — are coming at us with new music. 
 
 The formerly famous fivesome have been making strategic appearances as of late, including performing on TV shows , singing at the Miss USA 2016 pageant, and announcing a Las Vegas residency . 
 
 But all that pales in comparison to the prospect of real, fresh boy band tunes hitting the airwaves. Members Nick Carter and Brian Littrell teased a collaboration with popular country duo Florida Georgia Line on their respective Instagrams yesterday, announcing a single slated for a late August release on the country group's album. 
 
 "Also working on the new backstreet album as well. Get ready!!!" Carter wrote on his Instagram. 
 
 Thankfully, it looks like it's not too late for the Backstreet Boys to return to fighting form — especially with fans wanting it "that way." 
 
 In the Lab...... Doing something we've never done before.... BSB feature with FGL..... Great record.... Comes out late August..... 💥 A post shared by Brian Littrell (@rokspics) on Jun 27, 2016 at 1:51pm PDT
– Backstreet's back for the first time in five years. The Backstreet Boys, who just celebrated 25 years together, released their first new single since 2013 on Thursday, along with a music video featuring plenty of five-person dance formations. "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," not to be confused with 1997's "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," follows up the 2013 album In a World Like This. "The minute we heard this song, we knew it was special," band member Kevin Richardson says, per the Daily Beast. "Just makes you wanna listen over and over again." The single will appear on the band's yet-untitled 10th studio album, due for release later this year, to coincide with 21 new dates for the band's Las Vegas residency, reports Billboard.
