Music video

The music video for "Just Want You to Know" pays homage to the 1986 documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot; set on May 13, 1985, it features the Backstreet Boys both as fans of the fictional heavy metal band "Sphynkter" and as the Sphynkter band members themselves in concert footage.[2] There are two versions of the video, both directed by Marc Klasfeld and released worldwide on September 3, 2005. The second version, which has the Backstreet Boys performing solely as Sphynkter throughout the video, was a special reward exclusively leaked online.
