A Quote by Howie Dorough
Backstreet Boys have an international fan base, and fans love what we do. I didn't want to be one of those artists that does something totally different so people would ask, 'Why did he do that?' Is he not proud?'

Because they never got answered, I just kept lighting fires everywhere - metaphorically speaking.

It's hard to be in the limelight and write songs that cater to fans that have expectations of you.

We have to ask ourselves if we're writing for the most important people: the fans.
