Cover versions
The Backstreet Boys covered the song as the eleventh track on their 1999 album Millennium. In an interview with Billboard, co-writer Gary Baker discussed development of the song:[3]
I had a writing day with Joe Thomas and Wayne Perry, then I played it to Clive and he said, "I want Joe to do this, but I also want to put it on Millennium." It was extremely exciting because I love Joe and his version is unbelievable, but that Millennium record -- man, that was the record to be on!
