This is one of the best version this album has ever played on radio stations. It is still number one for me always and forever because backstreet's back and better than ever. The backstreet boys are unstoppable and the greatest boyband the world has been waiting to see since 30 years ago and in April going to be 31 years in a month from now after reaching march.

This was the best version and should have been on the album. The extended version is just noise.
