The [Backstreet Boys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-my-heartshaped-pizza) and Chance the Rapper will be teaming up for a [Super Bowl ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doja-cat-2), and while little detail is known about the contents of the full length commercial, it's implied that both parties will be putting their own twist on the [classic 90s hit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oscar-mayer-brings-back) 'I Want it That Way.'

The humorous teaser trailer opens with the five members of the Backstreet Boys: AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell. Each member is wearing an outfit which nods to the 90s, like cut-off denim vests, or denim-on-denim outfits. The five group members stand in an industrial stadium-like setting, when Chance the Rapper pushes to the front of the group and joins the pose.

As the ad closes, a voice is heard singing "I want it that way."
