I Want It That Way
Let’s be real, everyone knows the hit song ‘I Want It That Way’. Released in 1999 from their Millennium album, this song launched the group to the peak of their success. However many people couldn’t get over the fact that the lyrics made absolutely no sense. “Well it’s funny, we actually were OK with the lyrics when we heard it first,” Nick Carter told HuffPost. “And then the president of JIVE records at that time ― I mean he’s a genius ― but he and some of the A&R people wanted to change the lyrics.” Kevin Richardson added that they changed the lyrics so they didn’t make any sense, they wanted to keep the rhyme and less of a literal version.
