"Larger than Life"
Song

"Larger Than Life" was the second single released from the Pop Music group Backstreet Boys 1999 album, Millennium. It was written by Max Martin, Kristian Lundin and Brian Littrell and is mainly a tribute to the group's fans. The song broke the record for longest running #1 on MTV's Total Request Live. Longtime friend, Brian McAndrew, was featured in the song with a guitar solo.

Music video

The song's video was a big-budget production directed by Joseph Kahn, who also directed the band's "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" video, which bears a number of similarities to this video. It takes place in a futuristic space setting, and includes elaborate special effects and animation, as well as a break-down with a dance number. The video reportedly was so expensive that it went over budget. This was supposedly the reason that Howie Dorough's scenes were not particularly elaborate. [citation needed] The video holds a Guinness World Record for the 5th most expensive music video with estimated production costs of over US$2,100,000.
