Lou Pearlman formed the group in 1993 in Orlando, Florida. The group rose to fame with their international debut album, Backstreet Boys (1996). In the following year, they released their second international album Backstreet's Back (1997), along with their self-titled U.S. debut album, Backstreet Boys (1997), which continued the group's success worldwide. They rose to superstardom with their third studio album Millennium (1999) and its follow-up album, Black & Blue (2000). They also released a greatest hits album, The Hits - Chapter One (2001), with a new single, "Drowning." After a two-year hiatus, they regrouped and released a comeback album, Never Gone (2005). After the conclusion of the Never Gone Tour in 2006, Richardson left the group to pursue other interests. The group then released two albums as a quartet: Unbreakable (2007) and This Is Us (2009).

Richardson permanently rejoined the group in 2012. In the following year, they celebrated their 20th anniversary and released their first independent album, In a World Like This. Their follow-up album DNA (2019) debuted at number one, more than two decades after the group formed and 19 years after they last topped in 2000. They also became the first boy band to top the U.S. album charts in three different decades.

The Backstreet Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling boy band of all time, and one of the world's best-selling music artists. They are the first group since Led Zeppelin to have their first ten albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and the only boy band to do so. The albums Backstreet Boys and Millennium were both certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making them one of the few bands to have multiple diamond albums.

The group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 22, 2013.[ They also released their first documentary movie, titled Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of in January 2015. In March 2017, the group began a residency in Las Vegas that lasted two years, titled Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life. They released their first Christmas album, A Very Backstreet Christmas in 2022.

All I Have to Give
Backstreet Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what he does to make you cry
But I'll be there to make you smile
I don't have a fancy car
To get to you I'd walk a thousand miles
I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart, I don't know
But if you were my girl
I'd make it so we'd never be apart

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give

When you talk, does it seem like he's not
Even listening to a word you say?
That's okay babe, just tell me your problems
I'll try my best to kiss them all away
Does he leave when you need him the most?
Does his friends get all your time?
Baby please, I'm on my knees
Praying for the day that you'll be mine!

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give

To you, hey girl
Hey girl, I don't want you to cry no more inside
All the money in the world
Could never add up to all the love I have inside
I Love You

And I will give it to you
All I can give, all I can give
Everything I have is for you
My love is all I have to give

My love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give, to you

I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
Give the world to you
But love is all I have to give

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live




I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give, to you

Overall Meaning

"All I Have to Give" is a powerful ballad by the Backstreet Boys that deals with love, devotion, and sacrifice. The song is addressed to a woman who is in a bad relationship with someone who doesn't appreciate her, and the singer is offering himself to be her better option. He recognizes that he may not have material wealth or extravagance, but he does possess all the love he can offer. He promises to make her happy and be there for her when she needs him most. The chorus repeats, "My love is all I have to give, without you I don't think I can live, I wish I could give the world to you, but love is all I have to give."


The first verse acknowledges that the girl is crying, and he doesn't know why but wants to make her smile. He humbly provides that he does not have any fancy cars or wealth, but he is willing to walk a thousand miles to be with her. The second verse is more explicit in suggesting that the girl's partner neglects her emotionally and does not pay attention to her, spending more time with his friends. It aims to console her and offers to be there to listen without judgment and kiss her problems away.


Overall, "All I Have to Give" is a song that demonstrates the power of true love and the willingness to go the extra mile for someone you care about, even if it means sacrifices. 


Line by Line Meaning

I don't know what he does to make you cry
I am not aware of the reasons that cause you distress


But I'll be there to make you smile
However, I vow to comfort and cheer you up whenever you need it


I don't have a fancy car
I don't own a luxurious automobile


To get to you I'd walk a thousand miles
Yet I am willing to go the extra mile on foot, just to be with you


I don't care if he buys you nice things
I am indifferent to the gifts and presents he might shower on you


Does his gifts come from the heart, I don't know
I am unsure if his gifts are heartfelt or not


But if you were my girl
However, if you were my partner


I'd make it so we'd never be apart
I would make sure that we always remain in each other's company


But my love is all I have to give
Despite my shortcomings, I can offer you all-encompassing love


Without you I don't think I can live
I feel that my life wouldn't hold much significance without you


I wish I could give the world to you
If possible, I would present the entire world to you as a gift


When you talk, does it seem like he's not
When you communicate with him, does it appear as if he's inattentive


Even listening to a word you say?
Not paying full attention to your words?


That's okay babe, just tell me your problems
It doesn't matter, love, you can confide in me and I'll be your listening ear


I'll try my best to kiss them all away
I promise to try to alleviate all your problems by showering you with love and affection


Does he leave when you need him the most?
Is he absent when you need him the most?


Does his friends get all your time?
Does he prioritize spending his time with his friends over you?


Baby please, I'm on my knees
Please, darling, I'm begging for your attention


Praying for the day that you'll be mine!
I yearn for the day when you'll become mine


To you, hey girl
Referring to you, my charming lady


Hey girl, I don't want you to cry no more inside
I care for you, and I don't want to see you suffer or be sad anymore


All the money in the world
Even an immense fortune


Could never add up to all the love I have inside
Can come close to the amount of love that I feel for you


I Love You
The intensity of my feelings towards you is undeniably profound


And I will give it to you
I will share it with you and give you my love


All I can give, all I can give
It's all I possess, and it's everything that I can offer


Everything I have is for you
Everything that I own or possess is yours to keep


My love is all I have to give
But ultimately, my love is the most valuable contribution I can offer


But love is all I have to give
Despite my heartfelt desire, my love is the only thing that I can bestow upon you
