Rascal Flatts join forces with the Backstreet Boys
"As a millennial, this might be one of the best things to ever happen." Social media users are loving the Backstreet Boys' new collaboration.
Rascal Flatts has put a new spin on their country ballad, 'What Hurts The Most', with some help from the Backstreet Boys.
The country band released the original version in 2006 on their album 'Me and My Gang'.
''What Hurts The Most' means so much to so many. We’re excited to add to its story with a new version with the @backstreetboys!" the band shared on Instagram.
'What Hurts The Most' is a cover of Mark Wills' 2003 song, which Jeffrey Steele and Steve Robson wrote.
Jo O'Meara, Cascada, and Faith Hill have also recorded their own versions of the track.
The Backstreet Boys and Rascal Flatts' latest update will appear on the latter's upcoming album, 'Life Is a Highway: Refueled Duets'.
Rascal Flatts is re-releasing some of the band's popular songs as duets on June 6.
The album also features the Jonas Brothers, Kelly Clarkson, and Blake Shelton.
Rascal Flatts and the Backstreet Boys will perform their new collaboration at the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday, May 8.
"Always loved this record. Now we get a chance to sing on it," Brian Littrell said about the collab.
Social media users have reacted positively to the new song.
"As a millennial, this might be one of the best things to ever happen to me," an Instagram user commented.
A YouTube user wrote: "My favourite Rascal Flatts song now has a new version with Backstreet Boys, one of my favourite pop bands! This is heaven."
"Rascal Flatts & Backstreet Boys releasing 'What Hurts The Most', the collab I didn’t know I needed. All the feels," an X user said.
