Friday feels Incomplete without new music — that’s why the Backstreet Boys have just dropped a brand-new song from their upcoming album, DNA.  

Breathe serves as the fourth single from the long-awaited record. It showcases the raw and clearly preserved talent of the world-renowned boy band in the form of a unique and unexpected acapella.

This is the second BSB song named Breathe. The lads released an entirely different song of the same name on their last album, A World Like This (2013). DNA will be their first studio album since then.

Breathe was accompanied by a visually enticing lyric video, which depicts the narrative behind the song written by Brandyn Burnette,  Nick Bailey & Ryan Ogren.

Canadian up-and-comer Shawn Mendes also had a hand in writing the soon-to-be hit.
