Oh, yeah.

For me, uh, for me it was, uh, one of our first booking agents, a guy named David Zedek, um, 'cause I had just had my son and I was traveling and I wasn't with him, and I was going to purchase something from the country that I was at to bring back to my son.

And I had been doing this periodically for the first, you know, year or two of his life.

And, um, our booking agent, David, comes over and he goes, "What are you doing?" I said, "I'm buying a, a gift for Bailey." And he goes, he goes, "Why?" And I was like, "Well, I like to pick him up something, you know?" And he goes, "Well, to be honest with you, I wouldn't do that." And I was like, "Why?" He was like, "Well, because every time you leave, doesn't matter if you go to the grocery or the gas station, he's gonna be wanting something when you get back, versus just your presence and you being a dad."

Um, but it's, it's coming home, trying to be in the moment with the kids.

What I have been doing recently in my world is focusing on finding, uh, balance and community to help me raise my children, and I've been turning a lot to sports.

Um, I loved sports when I was younger.

Um, I used to play sports with Brian.

Sometimes it's a little dewy.

It's a little sticky.

But you just kind of have to wipe yourself off and keep at it.

And it's not easy.

So if anything, just as a parent speaking, as a dad, take away the titles and the records and all that stuff.

Just as a dad, across the board, all five of us Backstreet Boys... do nothing but work hard to support our families and our children.

And it's

How does that make you feel?

That's amazing.

Yeah, it's a great feeling.

I mean, to think about our fans now are a lot older than they used to be and they're bringing their kids to our shows.

So it's like full circle for us to be able to have a super hot summer fresh song that can kind of just break down all the barriers of generation.

Kind of like what we've done with music for 30 some years.

So it's just, I mean, it's literally like we were talking about lightning striking in a bottle again to kind of start Backstreet Boys over again.

like i i feel like i can't even understand it because i haven't stepped foot in it yet
