The Backstreet Boys fully abandoned the Max Martin sound of many of their early hits and, instead, worked with different producers to sound like an adult vocal group. Dan Muckala, producer and co-songwriter of the group's hit single "Incomplete" from their previous album "Never Gone", produced the bulk of the material. However, other producers like Emanuel Kiriakou, John Shanks and Billy Mann also worked on the album. Fellow boy band veteran JC Chasez of *NSYNC collaborated with the Backstreet Boys, providing upbeat pop for the group with his production and songwriting.
