Backstreet Boys Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
I Want It That WayBackstreet Boys1rank/position

A signature song by the Backstreet Boys, a classic bittersweet and romantic ballad.
It’s definitely a song you want a man to sing! Because the harmony and chorus parts are so prominent, the key is to firmly learn the main melody.
In the call-and-response section in the latter half, I’m not sure which part karaoke scoring recognizes, but memorizing both parts will likely help when you sing with someone else.
Also, my vocal training student sang it, and there aren’t any particularly difficult pronunciations.
You can just read the lyrics straightforwardly.
However, since there are entrances on the off-beat rather than the downbeat and some distinctive rhythms, it’s a good idea to run through the song once.
