Backstreet Boys Go Dino-Pop on New PAW Patrol Anthem 'Bottle Up'

The Backstreet Boys has spent more than three decades proving that pop music can survive every imaginable trend cycle. They’ve conquered the boy band boom, weathered the streaming revolution and become one of the most enduring vocal groups in modern music. Now, in perhaps the most unexpected collaboration of their careers, they join forces with a pack of animated rescue dogs.

The group’s new single, ‘bottle up’ – written by Savan Kotecha and Ed Sheeran – comes as the flagship song from PAW Patrol: The Dino Moviebringing together arena-pop nostalgia and family-friendly blockbuster energy in a way that only the Backstreet Boys could.

Built around soaring harmonies, bright acoustic flourishes and an instantly memorable chorus, ‘bottle up’ exploits the emotional sweet spot that has defined the band’s greatest hits. The song’s central message—to hold on to life’s happiest moments and preserve them forever—gives the veteran pop stars plenty of room to showcase the vocal chemistry that’s been remarkably intact since the late ’90s.

For longtime fans, the track feels like a natural extension of the band’s recent embrace of feel-good, multigenerational pop. For younger listeners, many of whom may discover the group through PAW Patrolit serves as a cheerful introduction to one of pop’s most recognizable vocal groups.

The accompanying music video leans right into the crossover appeal. Cutting film from PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie featuring scenes of the band performing amidst colorful prehistoric-themed sets, the clip embraces the playful spirit of the franchise without sacrificing the polished production values fans expect from a Backstreet Boys release.

‘bottle up’ comes as Nod, Howie, Brian, OUCH and Kevin prepare to return to Las Vegas for a new series of their blockbuster Into the millennium residence at Sphere.

Since becoming the first pop act to headline the futuristic arena when the residency opens in July 2025, the group has played 35 sold-out shows to more than 575,000 fans. The immersive production has transformed the Sphere into a living tribute to the band’s legacy, with concertgoers adopting an unofficial dress code of all-white attire – a nod to the instantly recognizable cover of the Backstreet Boys’ landmark 1999 album, ‘Millennium’.
