No matter the distance, the Backstreet Boys want you to know...that "I Want It That Way" is still a banger. The 90s pop sensation reunited for a virtual performance of their hit song for Fox Presents the iHeart Living Room Concert For America. Fox shared a clip on Sunday to tease the performance, but you can see the full video here.

AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, and Brian Littrell covered the song while social distancing from their respective homes (sometimes with musical and vocal backup from their kids). The iHeart Living Room Concert For America replaced the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 29 and featured performances from Alicia Keys, Tim McGraw, and more, with host Elton John.
