Back Here

BBMak are a trio comprised of the British lads Christian Burns, Stephen McNally and Mark Barry - all in their early 20s when this song was released. They called themselves a cross between The Goo Goo Dolls and 98 Degrees, with boy band looks but real musical chops. They co-wrote many of their own songs, including "Back Here," their biggest hit. They also played on with Burns and McNally providing their signature acoustic guitar strum.

The song talks about a story between a guy and a girl. The band members say that the guy in the song did a stupid thing and he wishes that he can be with the girl again because he's sorry. "It's just a love song," Christian Burns told MTV. "We wrote it with a guy named Phil Thornalley... we went out to his house one day and started playing this little guitar thing, and it just went from there. Forty-five minutes later, 'Back Here' was finished."

"Back Here" was BBMak's first single. In America it rose to #13 in the summer of 2000, earning them a spot opening for Britney Spears. The song was also a #1 Adult Contemporary hit.
