REASONS FOR DISSOLUTION
In 2002, the group expressed a strong desire to leave their management company, The
Firm. However, Carter chose to remain with The Firm to manage his solo career.
Shortly afterwards, the rest of the group began recording their next album without
him. The relationship with JIVE Records worsened when the Backstreet Boys filed a
$75–100 million lawsuit against Zomba Music Group (JIVE's parent company), claiming
breach of contract. They claimed that the label promoted Carter's solo album Now or
Never at the expense of the group.
In November 2003, McLean appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to talk about his
addiction to alcohol and drugs, and his struggles rising to fame for the first time
in public. The rest of the group surprised him by appearing in person to give him
support, marking the first time the Backstreet Boys had appeared together in public
in almost two years. The group began to reform and reconcile their differences,
planning to start recording a comeback album at the beginning of the following
year.
