The formerly famous fivesome have been making strategic appearances as of late, including performing [on TV shows](http://time.com/4232781/gigi-hadid-lip-sync-battle-backstreet-boys-larger-than-life/?iid=sr-link1), singing at the [Miss USA 2016](http://time.com/4358459/miss-hawaii-miss-usa-voting-final-question/?iid=sr-link6) pageant, and announcing a [Las Vegas residency](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/04/04/backstreet-boys-las-vegas-residency). But all that pales in comparison to the prospect of real, fresh boy band tunes hitting the airwaves. Members Nick Carter and Brian Littrell teased a collaboration with popular country duo Florida Georgia Line on their respective Instagrams yesterday, announcing a single slated for a late August release on the country group’s album. “Also working on the new backstreet album as well. Get ready!!!” Carter wrote on his Instagram. Thankfully, it looks like it’s _not_ too late for the Backstreet Boys to return to fighting form — especially with [fans wanting it](https://twitter.com/search?q=backstreet+boys&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Esearch) “that way.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4385863/backstreet-boys-are-releasing-a-brand-new-album-this-summer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4385863/backstreet-boys-are-releasing-a-brand-new-album-this-summer/"},"headline":"Backstreet Boys Are Releasing a Brand New Album This Summer","datePublished":"2016-06-28T18:12:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:53.104Z","description":"The boy band is hanging on to fame with new music announcements.","url":"https://time.com/4385863/backstreet-boys-are-releasing-a-brand-new-album-this-summer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4385863/backstreet-boys-are-releasing-a-brand-new-album-this-summer/","name":"Backstreet Boys Are Releasing a Brand New Album This Summer"}}]}] ```
