In July 2007, it was announced that the Backstreet Boys would release a new album on October 30, 2007, their first album of new material in two years. Rumored titles of the album included "End to Beginning", "Picking Up the Pieces", and "Motivation" before Brian Littrell and A. J. McLean confirmed on August 13, 2007 that the title of the album would be "Unbreakable". Producers include Dan Muckala, who produced the band's 2005 hit single "Incomplete", and Rob Wells. It is the first Backstreet Boys album that former member Kevin Richardson is not involved in, as he had left the group in June the previous year.
