“Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely” was featured on the band’s third album, “Millennium.” The album also spawned some of the most iconic BSB hits, including “Larger Than Life” and “I Want It That Way.” Interestingly, “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely” performed better on the charts than songs like “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” according to Billboard.

wowplus, the biggest-selling boy band of all time, took a hiatus from touring due to the COVID-19 pandemic and postponed their DNA World Tour; they’ll start touring this year in the U.S. Fans may not be as excited to hear “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely” at the concerts, but they probably still will.
