When the Backstreet Boys' bus breaks down, their bus driver ( Antonio Fargas) insists that they spend a night at a nearby haunted mansion while he gets help. The video is bookended by scenes framing the context. The aesthetic of the haunted house was inspired by Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' music video. In a 2017 interview with Billboard, Kahn stated that the video's impact broadened his view of pop culture, while creating a new scene in the US. The video premiered outside the United States in July 1997, although viewers with MuchMusic USA were able to see it as at the time it was still mostly a simulcast of the Canadian channel. The band ultimately had to put up their own money to shoot the video and had to fight with the label to get reimbursed once it was successful. Jive did not get behind the concept of the band in costumes or the $1 million requirements, and did not believe MTV would respect the video. The video shoot lasted for 36 hours, with Nick Carter's mummy shot being filmed last. Kahn and the group wanted Antonio Fargas to portray the bus driver, as they were fans of Starsky & Hutch. The haunted house aesthetic was based on a treatment Kahn envisioned for rapper Ice Cube a few months prior, and was inspired by the music video for Michael Jackson's ' Thriller'.

Kahn was contacted by Jive to direct a project with a 'white Jodeci'. The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, and filmed in Los Angeles, California from June 16вЂ“18, 1997. It is certified platinum in the United States with 2.1 million sales. Written and produced by Max Martin and Denniz Pop, 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)' is one of the Backstreet Boys' most successful singles to date, reaching number 4 in the US Billboard Hot 100, running 22 weeks, and number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. Larry Flick from Billboard commented that 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)' contained a 'contagious dance/pop beat and catchy hook that perfectly showcases this talented group's voices'. The music video for the song was cut to both versions of the song, with the extended video released to the US market, and the standard video released everywhere else. The US album features the extended version of the song which includes an extended breakdown section, but cuts the bridge. The international album features the album or 7' version, which is the standard recording. They met with Weiss and asked that the song be added to the US album after the first million units had already been produced. After Canadian markets began playing the song, US markets near the border began picking the song up. The band suggested it could just mean that they were back home. Zomba chairman Clive Calder suggested that 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)' should be released as a single, which was met with resistance from Jive Records president Barry Weiss, as he believed that it would be weird to have a song called 'Backstreet's Back' on the Backstreet Boys' first US album.
