Backstreet Boys is the debut studio album by American boy band Backstreet Boys, released on May 6, 1996, by Jive Records.^[1] The first single released from the album was "We've Got It Goin' On". While the single was a success in Europe, it was not a hit in the United States. As a result, the album was only initially released outside of the country.^[4] The album was first released in Germany on May 6, 1996.^[1][5] It was then released in Switzerland followed by Austria.^[6][7]

Further singles from the album were "I'll Never Break Your Heart", "Get Down (You're the One for Me)", "Quit Playing Games (with My Heart)", and "Anywhere for You". Following the success of the single "Quit Playing Games (with My Heart)" in the United States, the album was reissued in 1997 under the same name and released as their debut in the country. The reissue also includes songs from the band's second album release Backstreet's Back (1997).
