Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Luca Schreiner Remix

Released on May 17, 2018 to celebrate the Backstreet Boys' 25th anniversary, this is an original track and not a cover of the famed Elton John-Kiki Dee duet of the same title.

The track was written by Stephen Wrabel (Ellie Goulding) and produced by Stuart Crichton (Kesha) and Jamie Hartman (James Bay). "The minute we heard this song we knew it was special," said Backstreet's Kevin Richardson. "I geeked out over the piano and synths. When that groove drops on the second verse, COME ON. Great verse, hook and melodies. Just makes you wanna listen over and over again."

This was pitched to Backstreet Boys by Stuart Crichton, but there was another song in the running the boys also liked titled "Wait." However, that one wasn't to be, because Maroon 5 nabbed the tune. "At the same time that was presented to us, we were told that [Adam Levine] had heard it and there was a possible chance that he might want it for [their] single," Howie Dorough told Billboard. "That's just kind of how the nature of the game goes - but we don't get too caught up about it. We just move on knowing that there's always gonna be great songs coming around the corner."
