"More Than That" is the third single by the Backstreet Boys from their album Black & Blue, released on November 21, 2000. It reached #27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and ran for 20 weeks, and #12 on the UK Singles Chart. It performed poorly compared to other singles of the Backstreet Boys, selling only 800,000 copies and failing to reach Top 10 in any of their main markets. However, it did very well on TRL where the video was retired on August 17, 2001.

A radio remix was made for radio play, as well as the music video. The main difference between the versions is an alternate percussion track, and generally remixed levels.

[edit] Music video

The music video ends with a dawning sun in the background, a theme that is used in many of the Backstreet Boys' videos.

The music video for "More Than that" was directed by Marcus Raboy. The video features two sets of scenes: One in which the band sings in a desert hangar with a large movie screen behind them showing various scenes behind them: a desert, a city with a busy traffic, a cloudy sky, lightning, and at last, sunbreak. The other scenes feature the band both walking in the desert, as a group, and driving in a two convertables down a desert road. The footage on the large screen is also used in the video itself.
