Billboard reviews "The One"

Back - Index - Submissions - - What is RSS? Date: May 16, 2000 Source: Billboard.com Submitted By: Backstreet News ``THE ONE'' (3:46) - Jive Done. Score another massive hit for Backstreet Boys with this unquestionably sunshine-splashed instant smash, the fourth single from 1999's No. 1 album, ``Millennium.'' Truly, there's a battle of the Jive labelmates this time, as 'N Sync's new release hits the airwaves simultaneously. Odds are that this song may reach the summit first, thanks to a feel-good melody line that embraces the senses the first time through. With a message of steadfast support and empowerment from the boys, teens will be swooning, while adults, as usual, simply won't be able to resist singing along. On-target production from consistent team Max Martin and Kristian Lundin only ups the ante (note, too, that Backstreeter Brian Littrell gets a co-writing credit on this one). Get ready for ``The One.'' Simply, you're not going to find a better pure pop song this season. Comment on this item. Recent Comments Submitted by: Berlynn This does look promising.
