Backstreet Boys Unveil "Bottle Up" for PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie

The Backstreet Boys are back with fresh material. On Friday, June 12, the legendary boy band—featuring AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson, and Nick Carter—released "Bottle Up," a new track created specifically for the upcoming PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie.

The song carries some serious creative firepower behind it. Ed Sheeran and Savan Kotecha penned the track, with Kotecha having previously collaborated with the group on "In a World Like This." Following the release, Sheeran shared his enthusiasm on Instagram, writing: "wrote a song for the paw patrol movie that the backstreet boys sing. i love paw patrol. that is all, check it out x"

Howie Dorough opened up about how the collaboration came together during an interview with 106.7 Lite FM. He explained that Sheeran and Kotecha, along with Max Martin's production camp, had created the song and presented it to the band's management with hopes they'd be interested in recording it for the PAW Patrol soundtrack.

"After the first listen, we all were like, 'Absolutely,'" Howie recalled. "First of all, Ed sounded so great on the demo. It was like, how are we going to top this? But I think we actually did a good job."

The single is now available for streaming across all major platforms.
