Everybody (Backstreet's Back) was released by the Backstreet Boys in 1997 as the lead single from their album Backstreet's Back, and it became one of the defining pop hits of the late nineties. Its bold opening and instantly familiar chorus helped it stay in popular culture long after its chart run, through karaoke nights, dance routines, television performances and online videos. Today creators reuse the opening as a shorthand for confidence, nostalgia and a dramatic entrance, which keeps the short clip circulating in edits, compilations and reaction videos.
