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.

Best Days
Backstreet Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelin' sorry for myself, 'cause I'm not in them
I talk about how much I miss ya
And if I could press rewind, I'd listen
Over and over and over again
I wish I had figured it out 'cause
My days are nothing without us
On my best days
His day is better 'cause he's with you
On my best days
The rain is good 'cause I still miss you
Oh, my mistake
How could I let you go? I guess I will never know
My best days, I'll never know
My best days
I didn't really know what I was doing
Wish that I could have finished what I started
What I started, alright
I was immature and stupid
Now I'm just immature and brokenhearted
Over and over and over again
I wish I had figured it out 'cause
My days are nothing without us
Wish I had known what I had, 'cause now
On my best days
His day is better 'cause he's with you
On my best days
The rain is good 'cause I still miss you
Oh, my mistake
How could I let you go? I guess I will never know
My best days, I'll never know
My best days
You left me, trying to live it on out
'Cause you took our dreams and you're livin' 'em out
Now you're in love with somebody else, yeah, yeah
Livin' out our best days
So much to be sorry about
I wish I knew, I was wanting enough
Now you're in love with somebody else, yeah, yeah
Livin' out our best days
And if I had a second chance
I would take you right back right now
I would take you right back right now, hey
And if I had a second chance
I would take you right back right now
I would take you right back
On my best days
His day is better 'cause he's with you
On my best days
The rain is good 'cause I still miss you
Oh, my mistake
How could I let you go? I guess I will never know
My best days, I'll never know
My best days
You left me, trying to live it on out
'Cause you took our dreams and you're livin' 'em out
Now you're in love with somebody else, yeah, yeah
Livin' out our best days

The lyrics to Best Days by Backstreet Boys are about regret and longing for a lost love. The singer is scrolling through vacation photos and feeling sorry for themselves, wishing they were still with their ex-partner. They talk about how much they miss their ex and wish they could go back in time to fix things. The chorus of the song repeats the idea that, on the singer's best days, their ex's day is better because they're with them.
The second verse of the song talks about the singer's regrets and feelings of immaturity. They wish they had finished what they started and known what they had when they had it. The bridge of the song speaks directly to the ex-love, acknowledging how much they've moved on and found happiness with someone else. The singer expresses their regret and desire to go back in time to fix things, but ultimately knows that they will never have their best days with this person again.
In summary, the song is a heart-wrenching realization of what was lost and how much is missed. The chorus is particularly powerful as it conveys the idea that, even on the singer's best days, they still feel incomplete without their ex.
