I could have sworn that Backstreet Boys had a song called ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart’ but apparently they didn’t, but now do.

I hope it isn’t a cover of the Elton/Kiki Dee song of the same name; a ten second teaser video which looks closer to a Chanel No. 5 commercial reveals nothing other than Backstreet are, indeed, back.

The new song will be out on Thursday, and we’ll be breaking it down then.

Meanwhile the single art find the five guys adopting five wildly different sartorial styles – all of which work for them. Nick Carter in particular looks strikingly natural wearing what I’m gonna dub Soccer Practice ’98.
