The story behind the song

"The Call" by the Backstreet Boys, from their album Black & Blue, features a distinctive rhythmic element rooted in an unexpected moment during recording. Producer Max Martin sampled the sound of Howie Dorough's flatulence, which occurred while he was singing his part, transforming it into the "dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun" sound heard in the track. This song, driven by such a unique percussive detail, embodies a playful and memorable aspect of the group's creative process. It plays like a testament to finding inspiration in the most surprising places.

Am E

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny

Am Dm E

Me and my boys went out, just to end up in mysery

I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me

F E

I said hi, I got a little place nearby

Am E

Wanna go, I should have said no

F C E Dm

Someone's waiting for me but I'm gonna go up and see

Listen Baby I'm sorry

Just wanna tell you don't worry

C Dm E

I will be late don't stay up and wait for me

Am E F G C

I'll say again you're dropping out my battery it's low

F E

So you know we're going to a place nearby, gotta go

Now till it's done nothing's been won

I can't take it back what's done is done

Am Dm E

One of her friends found out that she wasn't the only one

Am E C

And it eats me from inside, that she's not by my side

E Dm

Just because I made that call and lied

Chorus...

Am E

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny

Am Dm E

Me and my boys went out, just to end up in mysery
