As a german soldier i can say this: everyone in the military knows this song, and whenever we do weapons cleaning or party, or anything else where we sit together, there is always one person that starts this song when its quiet. YOU ARE.... and the rest: MY FIRE, THE ONE.... I even sing it to my newborn daughter :D Its like medicine, she always stops crying

I love this song, I was so excited when my grade randomly started singing this. At my school dance they played this, and everyone was singing along so loudly! Good memories :>
I hated this song growing up because my older sister played it alllllll the timmmeeee… now, I’m 31 and I sing it while I clean and on my way to the gym….
My brother always said this was our song, I was always embarrassed now that he’s gone it’s one of my favorites and I can understand why he always said it. R.I.P. bro!❤
0:09 Number 1, can you please sing the opening of “I Want It That Way?” 0:14 Number 2, keep it going. 0:19 Number 3. 0:24 Number 4! 0:48-0:53 TELL ME WHY! 0:58 Now, Number 5! 1:03 I WANT IT THAT WAY! (Say the line, guys!)
No puedo creer que despues de mas de 20 years los encuentre en youtube..donde andan estos hermosos irlandeses hoy???...Que es de esta banda hoy? Saludos desde Argentinaaa!!
Literally this brings back a memory of me and my dad at a cincinatti baseball game against the phillies and at the end they had fireworks and this song came on and everyone started singing it was the best thing that me and my dad has ever done together
To this day looking back at this song…such beautifully written from both perspectives if you truly understand the meaning behind it the concept is a genuis 👏🏾👏🏾
Max Martin, the songwriter, is swedish. And at the time of writing he didn't speak english particularly well, which is why it's kind of gibberish. Backstreet Boys actually recorded a version with different lyrics that made sense, but eventually the nonsensical lyrics won since they were catchier. It's not always that deep.
@emil87th The song is hella stupid honestly, but it's such a fun vibe I'm completely willing (and able) to turn my brain off and just allow myself to have a good time.
i love this song so much, and also “as long as you love me”. this is because my class once sang these two songs when my teacher played it on speaker. that teacher was the teacher who made us the happiest, she was like a second mother, every hug she gave us felt so nice and warm and they healed some of the wounds ive gotten from what ive been going through. she retired on june 16, which was a friday. next monday, the entire class started crying seeing her empty desk, and her message on the board, “Children, be good, study hard and make me proud -ma’am *******” with a little heart and a pink bunny drawing😭 a lot of that was irrelevant but tl:dr, we sang this song along with as long as you love me with our favorite teacher. this brings back memoriess
To be honest, hearing some good songs is just too good. Especially when I’m listening to most of them just to get some stuff off from my mind. And that’s okay, because I want it that way.
What food do you crave more than any other?

Bro on field trips we all sang this on the bus it’s soo random but so hood
i love this song so much, and also “as long as you love me”. this is because my class once sang these two songs when my teacher played it on speaker. that teacher was the teacher who made us the happiest, she was like a second mother, every hug she gave us felt so nice and warm and they healed some of the wounds ive gotten from what ive been going through. she retired on june 16, which was a friday. next monday, the entire class started crying seeing her empty desk, and her message on the board, “Children, be good, study hard and make me proud -ma’am *******” with a little heart and a pink bunny drawing😭
a lot of that was irrelevant but tl:dr, we sang this song along with as long as you love me with our favorite teacher. this brings back memoriess
