Backstreet Boys-What I Know Now

The Backstreet Boys are one of the most successful boy bands of all time, with over 100 million records sold worldwide. They have been active since 1993, and have released nine studio albums, two compilation albums, and one live album. Their latest album, DNA, was released in 2019 and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart.

One of their unreleased songs is called "What I Know Now", which features the vocals of Claude Kelly, a Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer who has worked with artists such as Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and Bruno Mars. The song was leaked online in 2010, and has been circulating among fans ever since. The song is a mid-tempo ballad that expresses regret and nostalgia for a past relationship.

The chorus of the song goes like this:

If I knew then what I know now

I wouldn't have said what I said

I wouldn't have let you walk out

I would have followed you instead

If I knew then what I know now

Yeah I would treat you the best

Baby if I knew then what I know now

The song is similar to another Backstreet Boys song, "If I Knew Then", which was released as part of their seventh studio album, This Is Us, in 2009. The song also deals with the theme of hindsight and learning from mistakes in love. The lyrics of "If I Knew Then" are more upbeat and optimistic, while the lyrics of "What I Know Now" are more melancholic and remorseful.

Some fans speculate that "What I Know Now" was originally intended to be included in This Is Us, but was replaced by "If I Knew Then" for unknown reasons. Others believe that the song was recorded for a later project that never materialized. The song remains an unofficial and rare track that showcases the vocal talents and emotional depth of the Backstreet Boys and Claude Kelly.
