Context

This line was sung by the Backstreet Boys in the song "Everybody (Backstreet's Back), written by Max Martin and Denniz Pop, from the album Backstreet Boys (1997).

"Everybody" was a hit single from the Backstreet Boys' second album, and the cheering fans and supremely confident lyrics foreshadowed that the boy band would rule the charts and the hearts of teens and tweens everywhere in the late '90s and early 2000s.

Plus, the boys show they have a little bit of an edgy side beneath their matching outfits and shiny haircuts as they croon "Am I sexual?" Uh-oh, this song suddenly got a little PG-13.

And in homage to Michael Jackson's "Thriller," the video of "Everybody" is a haunted house movie as the various Backstreet Boys dodge ghouls and werewolves and try to make it out of the song alive. Of course, it's just a dream.

Where you've heard it

This song should be the centerpiece of any '90s throwback party and should be played on a boombox for full effect. Also, the music video is a nice one to play at a Halloween party if your guests are sick and tired of "Thriller."

On Dancing with the Stars, Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter did a jazz number to "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" to show the world that he still had some sick moves.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

You're not super original for quoting this, but hey, '90s nostalgia is in full swing, so go ahead and have fun.
