The boy band joined forces on Sunday night to perform their 1999 hit "I Want It That Way" from their respective homes on five different screens during iHeartMedia's "Living Room Concert for America"The performance opened with Brian Littrell introducing his fellow band members from his home in Atlanta. "We want to do something a little different for you, a little special, bringing our living room to yours. This is the living room in my studio at my house.
"We live in unprecedented times today with the COVID-19 virus. I want to thank iHeart for putting this together. I want to thank Fox for airing it. I want to thank all the frontline responders that are donating their times and putting themselves in harms way to take care of their fellow citizens," Littrell continued. "So, stay safe, stay home, and protect yourselves."
AJ McLean joined in from his own home in Los Angeles to begin singing the song. Howie Dorough, Nick Carter and Kevin Richardson soon joined Littrell and McLean.
