In 2009 the journalist Steve Knopper published a book quite instructively titled Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Music Industry in the Digital Age, and he wrote, вЂњTeen pop was one last squeeze of the sponge to get the world to spend millions and millions of dollars on compact discs.вЂќ This is the hot rod driving off the cliff. At this point, the music industry is in its Caligula phase, whatever that means to you. Baby One More Time,вЂќ also the title of her 1999 debut album that sells 25 million copies worldwide, which is just a flabbergasting number. So here is where the late-вЂ™90s teen-pop supernova begins in earnest, with BritneyвЂ™s вЂњ. In 1998, in the wake of Denniz PopвЂ™s death, Max took the reins at Cheiron Studios, and later that year, as the writer and coproducer, he helped redefine what the term global success even means. When Max Martin won the Polar Music Prize in 2016-itвЂ™s a Swedish royalty thing-Max praised Denniz, saying, вЂњHe made me realize how difficult it is to make things sound simple.вЂќ Max added that the two secrets to writing the perfect pop song, in no particular order, were love (meaning his wife) and stealing from the best (meaning primarily Prince, KISS, and ABBA). And we all know how that turned out.Denniz Pop, whoвЂ™d already coproduced even bigger Ace of Base songs, including вЂњThe Sign,вЂќ died of stomach cancer in 1998 heвЂ™s clearly a beloved figure in this universe, as a musician and as a human. Ultimately, the group voted on which version of the song they liked better and wanted to release. вЂњ to make the song make more sense,вЂќ Richardson explained. The words to the second version are entirely different and therefore change the meaning of the song.В They also make more sense.ДЄccording to an interview with Huff PostВ in 2016, executives at JIVE Records wanted the band to alter the lyrics to MartinвЂ™s version. Shockingly, another version of вЂњ I Want It That WayвЂќ exists with lyrics altered by the Backstreet Boys themselves. вЂњThatвЂ™s the way we want itвЂ¦ for you to not want it that way.вЂќ Another version of вЂI Want It That WayвЂ™ existsВ and the lyrics make more sense

вЂњWe donвЂ™t want you to want вЂitвЂ™ that way,вЂќ the bandвЂ™s official Twitter account explained.

z7YWFhH8t1- Backstreet Boys June 2, 2018ДЄccording to the band, the chorus means one person in the relationship doesnвЂ™t вЂњwanna hear you say that you want heartaches and mistakes,вЂќ nor do they want to be вЂњtwo worlds apart.вЂќ We donвЂ™t want you to want вЂњitвЂќ that way вЂ“ thatвЂ™s the way we want itвЂ¦ for you to not want it that way. For most people, including Chrissy Teigen, the chorus is where things start to get confusing.ДonвЂ™t wanna hear you say that you want heartaches and mistakesвЂ¦ or to be 2 worlds apart. These next few lines might come off as misconstrued, but they still make sense in that they could be suggesting the people in the relationship donвЂ™t see eye to eye. вЂњI Want It That WayвЂќ is a love song, after all.

This part checks out and technically makes sense. Most people know the iconic Backstreet Boys song. вЂњBut make you feel good when you sing along to them, and one of them.вЂќ вЂI Want It That WayвЂ™ lyrics explained by the Backstreet Boys вЂњThere are a lot of songs out there like that that donвЂ™t make sense,вЂќ the Backstreet Boy added. вЂњHis English has gotten much better, but at the timeвЂ¦вЂќ Richardson told the outlet without completing his thought.
