The album was originally slated to release in 2021 but it got delayed due to the pandemic and the release date was shifted to October 14, 2022. As per several media reports, the Backstreet Boys’DNA World Tour was postponed due to the pandemic after which they began working on their first Christmas music album in 2021. In August, they announced that they were done recording the album, and a photoshoot for the album cover had also been completed, however, the album failed to meet the deadline due to the sudden COVID-19 pandemic situation. 

Taking to Instagram stories, Drake earlier shared a picture of him performing with the Backstreet Boys on stage. In the picture, the rapper was dressed in a black t-shirt with blue jeans while he was surrounded by the band. The band members - Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson sported white ensembles as they made the audience groove to their songs.

Soon after the concert, fans could not stop but react to the iconic moment. Many took to their Twitter handles to express their feeling. A fan wrote, "So @Drake showing up at my @backstreetboys concert and singing I Want it That Way was not on my 2022 bingo card. And yet, here we are. Iconic Toronto moment," while another penned, "Backstreet Boys brought Drake out tonight at their Toronto show. And he sung "I Want It That Way" with them. So cool to see if you grew up singing their songs in the 90s."
