In 1999, country music band Alabama recorded the song with a backing vocal from NSYNC, and released it as a single from their eighteenth studio album, Twentieth Century. This version peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is the only country chart entry for NSYNC.[23] This was also Alabama's final top-10 hit on the Billboard country chart until 2011, when they topped the chart as featured on Brad Paisley's "Old Alabama". The song was later included as the B-side to Alabama's next single, "Small Stuff".[23]
