If you were, or still are, a Backstreet Boy fan, you’ve been listening to a fart this whole time.

I’m sorry, what?

In a recent interview with Billboard, AJ McLean said that when bandmate Howie was in the recording studio singing his part for ‘The Call,’ he was singing so passionately, he let out a fart.

The band’s genius producer apparently tweaked it and made it sound like like part of the song.

“Howie’s fart became an instrument and is on the record for the rest of our lives.”

Twitter is losing it over the fart beat, and we are too.

This changes EVERYTHING.
