Backstreet’s back, baby.

After five years with no new music, iconic ’90s group the Backstreet Boys has returned with a single and official music video called “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” and it bangs. Different combinations of bandmates have toured with the group in recent years while Nick Carter pursued being a film producer (among other things), but all five original members have showed up for this current Backstreet era. Even better, the dance-forward track lends itself perfectly to some synchronized throwback choreography.

Luckily every Boy can still deliver:

The single was reportedly recorded right after the first leg of Backstreet’s successful 26-show Las Vegas residency, Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life. The band kicks off an additional 21 shows this July until November.

As far as comebacks go, this isn’t bad at all. And good for Kevin for getting into hats—you can’t hog that accessory, A.J.
