Chrissy Teigen for the win. The model, mom of two and cookbook author took to Twitter on Friday, June 1, to ask a very important question: What do the lyrics in the Backstreet Boysâ âI Want It That Wayâ mean?
At the end of the iconic jam, the lyrics go: âI never wanna hear you say / I want it that way / âCause I want it that way.â
Teigen took to Twitter to ponder and wrote: ââI never wanna hear you say, âI want it that wayâ cause i want it that wayâ. He doesnât wanna hear it because he is the one that wants it that way? He wants to be the one to say it? Also what is âitâ?â
Much to our amusement â and education! â the Backstreet Boys responded.
âDonât wanna hear you say that you want heartaches and mistakes... or to be 2 worlds apart. We donât want you to want âitâ that way - thatâs the way we want it... for you to not want it that way,â the band tweeted back at the supermodel, along with a fitting GIF.
Fans were quick to respond to the convo, tweeting things like "What kind of voodoo magic does she have that she got the answer?!â and âFINALLY.â
The Backstreet Boys will hit the stage at iHeartRadioâs 2018 Wango Tango on Saturday, June 2, at LAâs Banc of California Stadium along with fellow performers Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Meghan Trainor, 5 Seconds of Summer, NF, Miguel, Janelle MonĂĄe and Marshmello with a special guest performance by Logic.
