The lead vocals of the first two verses are sung by Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough. There is also an Italian version of this song, titled "Non puoi lasciarmi così", dedicated to their fans in Italy. They accepted the offer when they completed that recording in only two days of their planned week-long session. The song was unexpectedly offered to the band while recording " We've Got It Goin' On" in June 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden. All of the background vocals on the song, other than McLean's singing harmony with himself on the bridge, are those of Littrell and Kevin Richardson, who decided to finish up the song while the other members were having lunch. It was also included on the re-release of the US album. This version was later added to their 1996 debut album as a re-release and it was used for radio and the music video.

The band has had so many iconic hits and songs that become a part of the very fabric of pop culture, it is hard to pick and choose the best of the best, but we’re doing that just here. Thankfully we can do it all together now. So it was music to our teenage ears to hear that BSB will return to India this May and we’ll all get to sing along to the hits we grew up listening to, some with pride, while others in hiding. Unlike most boy bands where one singer breaks out, the joy for many has been to see Backstreet Boys stay strong, stay together and stick in it for the long haul. For many, Backstreet Boys epitomize teenage-pop For others, they didn’t think cheese and instead just heard timeless melodies and harmonies for the ages. ![]()
