A.J. McLean is back from rehab, the tour is in full swing, and now the Backstreet Boys are looking ahead to their next project.

The group is planning to release a compilation album on Oct. 23 that will include many Backstreet hits and a new track titled "Drowning", MTV reports.

"We're not gonna be calling it 'greatest hits'," said Nick Carter, "because we think it's like, once you put out the greatest hits, everybody's like, 'That's it, they're gone'."

The album is tentatively being called "Chapter One," Kevin Richardson told MTV.

"We're gonna put out something that means the end of a chapter in our lives and the beginning of another," he said.

The new song is being described as a combination of Backstreet hits "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" and "I Want It That Way", along with the hit ballad "Amazed" by country act Lonestar.

Backstreet has already filmed a video for the song, which takes place against a backdrop of waterfalls, fountains, and rivers.
