Tyler ShieldsBackstreet Boy AJ McLean already has a number one country single thanks to “God, Your Mama, and Me,” his group’s collaboration with Florida Georgia Line. Now, he’s hoping to repeat his success with his first official solo country single, “Boy and a Man.”

The video for the song tells the story of a lifelong love, inspired by the Disney movie Up. It begins with AJ, as an old man, sitting in a rocking chair on his porch. The video then shows us the love story of a couple from childhood all the way through old age. AJ’s real-life wife, Rochelle, even makes an appearance.

“A look at the future. Lol,” AJ tweeted, along with a photo of himself in the old-man makeup. “Was so much fun to take inspiration from the movie Up for the #BoyAndAMan music video. Hope you all are enjoying it.”

AJ will debut his country-influenced solo album, Long Road, this spring. In addition to launching his solo project, he’ll be kicking off the Backstreet Boys DNA World Tour in May.

BSB wrap up their Las Vegas residency in April.
