Backstreet Boys - If You Stay Lyrics

Anyone notice this isn’t in spotify nor Apple Music?

its on booty call soundtrack

I love it at 1.25

I like this song at 1.25

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS SONG!!!!

I am sure that most people who heard it on the soundtrack in 1997 also did. Especially R&B/hip-hop heads. It took me 22 years to make the connection that the then-unknown BSB were the BSB we have seen them become.

lvelvetj it’s so good. I knew about it in 1997 but because it rarely gets performed, 20 years later (now) I am completely having memories flood back.

Not sure why anyone is surprised.. This is one of their first tracks i heard frim tbe bootycall soundtrack....

If you go back youd know that quite a few pop artist did RnB songs starting out such as Madonna

I loved this song when it first came out. I had that soundtrack and played it out

I wish they would sing this song at their concerts

Veronica Stevens they used to. I wish they would do it again! https://youtu.be/zbIQ4FswHOw

When I first heard this song, I thought it was dope. Now that I know who sings it, I am pleasantly surprised.

Um sooooo, this song is old but I literally just found out who sing it! 😂😂😂

I'd like to hear this acapella

Been a fan of BSB for 24 yrs now but why the hell do i not know this song? Am i not a real fan?? 😭Damn.. this is sooo good! ❤

It was a non-single from the "Booty Call" soundtrack and BSB were unknown in the US when the album and movie were released. So, it went way under the radar.

BSB started out mostly R&B, and they did it SO well. Some of their best songs are on their very early imports. Everytime I Close My Eyes is one of my personal favorites. https://youtu.be/IJfBwmZ0qwU

What a shame this song never got airplay I truly believe it's a number one and I can not go a day without hearing it I love my Backstreet Boys forever and I'm going to see them in concert in September 💖😍😁

Good Job BSB! Y'all nailed this.

hello Backstreetboys my name is ArpinehShakoorian welcome it is my pleasures nice to meeting you

That intro gets me every time!

Despite of what we see nowadays, back in the 90s we could see talent and market walking together...

Wow i just realized this was a backstreetboys song they sound like a black r&b group.😵🔥😵🔥😵🔥😵🔥

They do r&b extremely well. They're My favorite boy band for that reason.

@marilyniisme yeah that's cool I first heard this song back in 2008 when I read the credits I thought it was a typo,thwy aound really good.

This is my jam, I wish I could get it on my Spotify or Apple Music

You can it's on their "Essentials" album

Sounds so ethereal. ❤ these harmonies.

Watched bootycall and had forgotten about this song. Still rides~

I had the Bootycall soundtrack
Had NO IDEA a boy band sang this-this song go so fucking hard! 🙌🏾

People tend to forget that BSB is vocal harmony group. They don't get a lot of appreciation of the diverse body of work they have done in almost every genre: R&B, pop, pop rock, modern pop, dance pop, adult alternative/contemporary, country, etc. Together over 25 years+ ✌

This was one of their first songs that their released. I don't know why the industry just want to show them just as a handsome boys , but they have a great vocals, and great unreleased songs... Nobody believed Thay they were singing this kind of song... They made a collaboration with Lionel Richie, but that cant see the light, because the producerse

Straight heat from these cats!

Still playing this classic in 2018

Lv you Shaza

Brian's vocals at the end remind me of Kevon Edmonds of After 7 and Wanya Morris of BIIM

Booty call soundtrack, i was like 10 listening to this song LOL, im 31 now, time flies!

Great song. BSB can sang.

I remember when I use to spin I would play this at the club and people would trip when they come up to ask who it was ...

This song right here 💖💖💖💘💘💘

This is one of the special songs from the BSBarchive! Forever BSB!

I LOOOOOOOOVE THIS

The best song ever!!!!

My boyband favourite together with NKOTB forever.I love all your songs.

Every time I here this beat I think of biggie smalls but I like versions #musicflow🎶

I been love this song Booty Call soundtrack, at the time I didn't know it was a bunch of blue eye brothers...they are doing the dog on thang....song so underrated

Fuck bitches, get money!

this song is underrated 100% ..I literally cannot go a day without listening to this

Still listening in 2019!

Love it!❤

I remember singing and playing this song over and over again when I was like 9 and always thought this was a black group. wow. booty call sountrack, that's where its from.

Backstreet boys Don't Disturb this groove.....Classic u should check out

Morrigan Von Doom hell yea definitely a classic

Morrigan Von Doom I like if u stay more

White dudes singing they ass off with more soul than some brothas

I've been looking for this song for the longest time!

Missing Brian's vocals!

one of the smoothest voices of the 90s!

R&BSB. Lots of love since 1996. #20yearsofktbspa

I don't know why this song was in my head, but I love it!

these white boys got soul i didn't even know this was bsb now i can't get enough of this song!

Leslie Cheeks BSB have a whole catalogue of Soulful songs. Check them out!

Just found out today after about a decade

@central cal a decade after the song uploaded on youtube. the song itself was released in 1997 😁

After 26 years the songs are amazing, always one pops up to be there.

I LOVE this song, BSB killed it right here, to o many memories xxx

This is the song from the 1997 Film Booty Call

FUCKING LOVE THIS SONNGG!! It's one of my favs from them! Funny how nobody knew or believed it was BSB!! They're so damn talented. My boys foreva evvaaa♡♡♡

Love this song. BsB is 1 of my favorite groups. Their vocals are better than most artists out now.

Backstreet boys were never given enough credit for their vocal harmonies their image overshadowed their talents but they were Awesome back in the day!!

Magic Heats They are Back!

What harmonies? This song produced by Prince Be from PM Dawn, he's on back vocals clearly sound through their voices. And lead vocal is exact copy of his.

They where the best

Doha Gassim they still are as they continue together for 26 years

scapegoatwax2001 they aren’t back because they have never disbanded or stopped they’re together since 26 years and have been having a very successful residency in Vegas for the past two years

I Always love them!

One of my MANY favorite songs by them! Love them!

Just found this.....Amazing! 2nd best to Sylvia Striplin.

Wow!! Been loving the shit out this songs for years & just found out Backstreet Boys are the artists..... Dope song, it's on the Booty Call movie soundtrack with Jamie Foxx & Tommy Davidson.

My son just shared this with me. He was the big fan back in the day but I appreciate their old stuff too. Now this, i've never heard and I am wowed.

I remember showing my dad this song and he didn't believe it was a group of white guys.  Brian is everything on this song.  Their harmonies are on point and I hope their next album brings back their R&B style again.  I love that they worked it into their NKOTBSB tour.

@DOTHERIGHTTHING1989 i know he didnt write it. did u not see how i wrote. "this was a brian song which he mostly sang lead on"? not "this is a brian song which he wrote" and yea i know who prince be is, lol sorry bsbs old school r&b songs were always cut bc they werent pop/rock/funk/rap. b&b and never gone albums lost another of good songs, but least they put drowing in their g8sthits album tho OMG this song "if you stay" is on their essentials album if i rmmbr

@Real Cosmic Builds Ah ok, sorry, missed it. This song was not included on the album but it was featured on Senseless Soundtrack, there's also autotuned version Prince Be made with Doc G rapping over it with video clip made around 2010 I think, but it's not good. I don't know why they decided to make it.

DOTHERIGHTTHING1989 this song is on the Booty Call Soundtrack

@Luvspell12 N Right, lol.

@Real Cosmic Builds This is actually a Biggie original. Listen to a song called "Get Money" BSB/PM Dawn sampled it.

This was my song on the Booty Call Soundtrack next to Call Me by Lil Kim and Too Short

Devin James ookk..i so agree with you

This song is by the Backstreet Boys? Mind officially blown! lol

DOTHERIGHTTHING1989
What? I never said the BSB wrote this particular song. A lot of American R&B writers wrote for them before they went on to work with Max Martin and his team circa Millennium. I know this because I look at the name(s) of songwriter(s) as credited as a fan.

@DOTHERIGHTTHING1989 didn't they sample Biggie's "Get Money" though? Or was it originally PM Dawns?

@Iris E it's not Biggies or PM Dawn's. I'ts a sample taken from original song by Sylvia Striplin
"You Can't Turn Me Away" (1981)

@Nolvora You probably wanted to say Dennis Pop and his team in which Max Martin was.

@DOTHERIGHTTHING1989 Denniz Pop had passed just before they recorded and released Millennium, so saying 'Max Martin and his team' is correct (I'm not implying Max Martin owns the team --- I was meant to say Max and his co-writers/colleagues at Cheiron). And, yes, I'm aware Denniz Pop invited Max Martin to join his team. They (including Denniz Pop) worked on a few BSB songs before Millennium but Millennium was mostly written/produced by Max Martin and team.

written and produced by none other than P.m. Dawn

Makes all the sense in the world now.

alot of people dont know this ,but this song is nothing but p.m. dawn

the harmonies in the beginning explain it all #BootycallSoundtrack

BOOTY CALL SOUNDTRACK!!!

My hardcopy of the soundtrack just arrived today in the mail 👏🔥👏🔥👏🔥👏

When the movie and soundtrack were released, BSB were largely unknown in the US. So, it took me 22 years to circle back to my CD of the soundtrack and make the connection that they were on it.

Wooow!!!! This song is amazing love BSB KTBSPA

I knew about this song more than a decade ago. It was on the booty call soundtrack in the 90's.

White boys represent!!

Howie is Latin.

I knew about this song before Backstreet went pop, so sad. This song shows
so much potential.

brixtongun the always were R&B and Pop. This is while they had their second album out, and the first one had several pop songs too.

Theres a number of of 80s artist who got songs that you would think are black but tbey arent..

Ten years before this tour lol

Yep it sure is!

The first time I heard this song was on the Booty Call soundtrack and I have been in L-O-V-E with this song ever since!!!!!!

What tour ? *thumbs down* xD

I think him and AJ both did. AJ could really get down vocally too, when he wanted to as well I believe. He had some soul. Also I think although Nick was cute, I think he has improve a lot, his voice has gotten so much better over the years. It has become like melted butter or honey. It's crazy insane good.

this is why i'm BSB 4 LYFE! Love these boys man!!

Such a beautiful song

Brian had the BEST voice of all of them... brian had the voice while nick had the "angelic face" ...made them blow UP 3

Thank you! so glad they sung this in concert!

Booty Call Soundtrack is dope!

BSB's harmonies are killer...

thanks ;)

agreed!

I like it. Oh, and they sampled Sylvia Striplin's You Can't Turn Me Away. Old school....people.

Man this was the first song I ever heard from them. I remember BANGING it. I worked at blockbuster usic and i had got this on single cd. WOW back in the day

Brian sang the mess outta this song. Who knew he could get that soulful. This right here is real music.

man sang church

oh my god, i'm so surprised they didn't too! I scratched my booti call album for this track alone.

I remember having the booty call soundtrack for this song back in the day. Vintage bsb. God I miss those days.

@chrisarodgers No I didn't say it was written by them. I said it was originally sung by them. I know who wrote it and produce it.

donde puedo descargarme esta cancion??

Love this song - I'm glad they worked it into NKOTBSB!

@trn17 - Not a BSB written song. Not only was it produced by PM Dawn, it was written by PM Dawn (look at the song credits - A Cordes *is* Prince Be of PM Dawn).

Love that song! Very pretty and yet very cool. Loved that they sang it on the NKOTBSB tour (hadn't heard the song 'til then) and liked that they made it a little more upbeat and funky. I was dancing to it at both the shows I went to. :)

@aldinyz It was on the soundtrack for Booty Call. My fav BSB song!

THE BEST BSB SONG EVER. PERIOD.

I meant *Sylvia Striplin* . Sorry for the type error.

Love this. Everybody sampled this beat. Yes it is a sampled beat. The song is called "You Can't Turn Me Away" from Sylvia Stripin. Biggie Smalls sampled this beat too (Get Money).

Thank you. I always love knowing original beats.

When we (my mates and I) first heard this track back in 96/97, we had no idea it was bsb!! My mate who 'discovered' this track challenged us to work out who sang it. When he told it was bsb, we were in absolute shock! Amazing choon. Still gives me goosebumps to this day!

I really do like this song, but you can definitely tell that the pitch of this whole song was altered in the studio. It sounds like their voices were manipulated to create this weird kind of falsetto. Brian doesn't sound at all like himself in this song, but if you drop the pitch of the song down a step, it sounds perfect. When they sing it live, it sounds much better and much more natural.

It really does sound better live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbIQ4FswHOw

@anarox27 I remember bumping this on the booty call soundtrack back when I was 18 and then when they broke it out on the tour, I won't lie I got my scream on a little.
