Drake joins the Backstreet Boys on stage for “I Want It That Way”

Oh my God. Drake is back — in Toronto to play with the Backstreet Boys.

On Saturday, the Canadian singer and rapper joined the boy band in concert for an audience-pleasing rendition of “I Want It That Way” – a Backstreet Boys classic that holds a special place in his heart. Drake, who was born in Toronto, agreed to make a surprise appearance on the band’s DNA World Tour after running into one of the Backstreet Boys “at a restaurant the other night.”

Before the song began, Drake took a moment to reminisce about a college crush — his fire, his one desire, etc. — who approached him at his bar mitzvah and asked him to dance to “I Want It That Way” when he was 13.

“This girl I was in love with came to me as one of the greatest songs in the world was playing…and it was the first time I felt recognized. It was the first time I had the feeling like I had a chance to be cool,” Drake tell the crowd.

“If she could see me now… Like I said, it’s one of the greatest songs in music history. I’ll be on stage for it. I’ll try to sing to it. That is called ‘I want it that way’. Let’s go.”

For the next four minutes, Drake harmonized with Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Howie Dorough as the sixth honorary Backstreet Boy. At one point, Dorough even infused lyrics from Drake’s 2013 hit, “Hold On We’re Going Home,” into the performance.

“I really hit it off,” the Grammy winner captioned a photo of himself performing with the Backstreet Boys on his Instagram Story.

The epic collaboration comes two weeks after Drizzy unexpectedly released his seventh studio album, “Honestly, Nevermind.” Among the most popular tracks on the disc are “Sticky”, “Massive” and “Jimmy Cooks”, featuring rapper 21 Savage.
