Backstreet's Back is the second studio album by American boy band Backstreet Boys, released on August 11, 1997, by Jive Records and Trans Continental Records, appearing in most countries except the United States. The album served as one of two follow-ups to the group's successful debut Backstreet Boys, which came out a year prior. A day after Backstreet's Back came out for most of the world, a United States–exclusive album was released with the same title as the group's debut: Backstreet Boys—a hybrid reissue containing a revised track list and additional songs from Backstreet's Back.^[4]

The first track recorded for the album was a cover of "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss". The tracks "If You Stay" and "Who Do You Love" were recorded for the album but were ultimately not included; the latter was performed live but never released as a studio track. The three singles released from Backstreet's Back: "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", "As Long as You Love Me", and "All I Have to Give" became three of their most successful singles.
