full A Very Backstreet Christmas Lyrics and Tracklist Backstreet Boys

A Very Backstreet Christmas is the tenth overall (eleventh in the United States) studio album and the first Christmas album by the Backstreet Boys. Originally slated for release in 2021, it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was released on October 14, 2022.

Background
In April 2019, the Backstreet Boys announced that they were considering their first album of Christmas songs. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! in February 2020, the Backstreet Boys said they were negotiating with their record label about the album.

With their DNA World Tour postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Backstreet Boys started working on their first Christmas album in March 2021. On July 12, they officially announced their return to Las Vegas for a holiday residency scheduled for November and December 2021. On August 14, band member Nick Carter revealed that they had finished recording the album and had done photo shoot for the album cover. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the album failed to meet the production deadline, forcing them to reschedule the album to release in late 2022. The band also cancelled their 2021 holiday residency in Las Vegas. In March 2021, it was announced production is starting back up again, with preproduction restarting on March 8. They began recording the album on May 5, 2021. On August 11, Kevin Richardson announced they had finished recording vocals for a “top secret project”, believed to be the Christmas album.[14] On September 10, it was announced the album would be delayed until 2022.

On June 17, 2022, before the concert in Rogers, Arkansas, during their DNA tour, an advertisement for their upcoming Christmas album was shown on screen, with a link to pre-order the album on their website. Since that show, the advertisement has always been shown on every concert date. On July 7, 2022, the group formally announced that the album would be released on October 14, 2022.

A special edition of the album with two exclusive tracks, Feliz Navidad and It’s Christmas Time Again, was released exclusively at Target. In the winter of 2022, the group has planned numerous events to promote the album, such as appearances at the iHeartRadio Jingle Balls, and plans to host J.C. Penney’s Holiday Spectacular on December 1, where the music video for the second single off the album will be released.

Singles
The first single from the album, Last Christmas, was released on September 6. Songwriter Gary Baker announce in a interview that one of the songs he wrote for the album, Christmas In New York will be the next second single with a brand new music video premiere on December 1.
