专辑介绍

《Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)》是后街男孩于1996年发行的首张同名专辑中的第五单曲。之后在美国发行。被录入《Backstreet’s Back》美国版。

这支单曲拥有极好的商业成绩，不仅斩下美国Billboard 亚军的位置，还在英国稳居第二。可惜的是，这首歌的成绩一直都是”万年老二“。

"Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" is the fourth single from the Backstreet Boys' international album. It was recorded in June 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden and released in 1996. It reached #1 in Switzerland and Austria, #2 on the UK Singles Chart, and #7 in the Netherlands. It was subsequently included on the band's debut US album, and was released as the first single in 1997. It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The single was not the label's first choice as single from the US debut. They initially wanted to release the Mutt Lange-produced "If You Want It to Be Good Girl", but the band argued against it, claiming it to be one of their worst songs. Jive president Barry Weiss claims that the serious contenders as first single also included "Anywhere for You" and "All I Have To Give". The band wanted to redo the music video, but the label refused, arguing that they planned to market to radio, and not video. The song ultimately succeeded without MTV support.

The original recording of the song features Brian Littrell singing both verses, with A. J. McLean singing the bridge. This version was featured on the early release of the their 1995 debut album and is featured on the 1997 debut US album. Nick Carter had subsequently emerged as a popular member of the band, so before the song was released as a single, a year after it was recorded, Max Martin was flown to London in October 1996 to re-record the second verse with Nick at Battery Studios. This version was later added to their 1995 debut album as a re-release and it was used for radio and the music video. It was also included on the re-release of the US album.

All of the background vocals on the song, other than McLean's singing harmony with himself on the bridge, are those of Littrell and Kevin Richardson, who decided to finish up the song while the other members were having lunch. The song was unexpectedly offered to the band while recording "We've Got It Goin' On" in June 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden. They accepted the offer when they completed that recording in only two days of their planned week-long session.

There is also an Italian version of this song, titled "Non puoi lasciarmi così", sung by the Backstreet Boys for their fans in Italy. The lead vocals of the first two verses are sung by Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough.
