Who's come back to remembering the memories...Now we are all in the 30s and 40s right??

I am Japanese. I still love this song. At that time, it was very difficult to find this CD in Japan. HMV, Virgin Megastore, and finally I found Tower Records in Sapporo. I was probably around 19 years old at that time. I am now 42 years old. I hope everyone continues to stay healthy. Long live the same generation😊2024.01.22🎉

When music was original, No fake voices, No auto tune, meaningful Lyrics. I wish i could turn back the time.

I'm 55 years old and still love this one. So encouraging. 🎉 😊❤

When I was on my teen, I’ve always think that this song is for a lover but now that I’m older, it feels like a song for staying true to yourself. I finally understand it now ❤

This song is like an old friend you haven't seen in a long time.

90's when the music is about easy listening and meaningful lyrics.

For anyone, who want to heal yourself, who felt down, who felt i am nobody, please listen to this song..you are just tired, not surrender

July 2024. Any 90s kids here?

I saw white, black, and asians here. I just loved the diversity in this music video. 😍

From my teens to 40's , this song rescued me from depression, self-esteem issues , all the bullshit i faced in past 20 years or so. This song kept me sane!

This song never gets old. A masterpiece.

#11 this week on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart back on April 3, 1999. 25 Years ago.

No one can beat 80's and 90's music. Nostalgia hits me so hard. 😭

This beautiful song reminds me of a better past of mine that I still feel very happy about. Btw, I always see Joey as an angel singing this Heavenly song.

He will always be the most underrated Singer in history..his voice is something that can't be imitated no matter how you try..like once u hear him singing, his voice is stuck in our heads forever..

My departed wife's favorite song. I will always remember you through this song. I love you always and beyond forever.💔😢

I recently introduced this song to my daughter who will soon be 8 yrs old..I told her that this is my song for her because she always says how she wants to be like this person and that person and wishes she wasn't who she is..I told her to listen to the lyrics and she would understand why I have chosen it for her. She has only heard the song a hand full of times now and knows about every word by heart..She just asked me if I knew what changed her mood to be happy again was..I asked what it was..she said it was this song..She says she really loves this song..This song rings so true and will never get old..To my baby girl, I love you always, always remember when you aren't feeling yourself and feel like being someone else, remember this song I dedicate to you..❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏

2024 and who's still mesmerized by his voice and the message of this song?

Such simple lyrics but so fundamental and hits hard in the feels. What really spoke to me was the part “you were meant to be the way you are exactly”. Feels like the song is speaking to my younger self and reassuring me that I turned up the way exactly I am meant to be in this world. ❤ Hope the people listening and watching this video know that you are meant to be in this world exactly as you are. You have a place in this table.

Who's here in 2021 still listening to this? Such a feel good song, great production, great everything. I miss those days....

3:09 THAT EXPLOSION - A big drop climax part followed by a modulation where he belted with a choir behind him will always blow my mind! 👏 Joey McIntyre can bring gospel in a R&B track. Wow I forgot how awesome of a vocalist he was

Thank you Joey for bringing us this wonderful masterpiece of yours. With this song many of us motivate and encouraged us to enjoy life and loving ourselves more. You're a great singer and performer indeed.

2024 anyone?

I used to give this song to my younger sister with translation..cuz she didnt knw english that time..she had lost her confident to herself..being bullied by class mate..being mocked by pple surround her..i gave her this song to encourage her..to build her confidence..to tell her she was beautiful in her way..now shes married n hv a happy family

This song means a lot to those who wants to boosts their self confidence. So simple to hear but in deep sense its a giant self motivating song.

One of my fav songs of all time. This song is partly responsible for the confidence i had, to pursue my dreams and believe in myself when i was younger. Now, i realize the power a message whether in song/poem/ movie, etc. can actually change a life, even if it be just ONE or FEW. The impact is so powerful that it can change the WORLD, no matter how little. Thank you!

Hits different when I'm listening now that I am older. I remember I used to sing this when I was 9 without knowing what the lyrics meant. Thank you for this masterpiece, Joey.

those good ole days, how we miss 'em 😘. Joey and his music will always be part of my happy teenage years. He and his music is part of my positive outlook in life and the strength that forever burns in me. Watching this today makes me feel how lucky my generation was for having experienced the true essence and beauty of calming and meaningful music

That last part gave me chills! So good!

BEAUTIFUL SONG. JOEY IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS EVER. WE GOTTA BE AND LOVE OURSELVES. JESUS IS THE ANSWER. LET HIM IN. HE GIVES ETERNATY. BLESSINGS FOREVER

Honestly, the 80 to 90's songs helps those who born on these era's to keep sane in this world full of chaos. Stay strong people!

Ive just discovered this song right now and once again it makes me know God have His Own time and Its always right. Ive never needed sooo desparetely to hear this words. Thank you for this Joey. 😢😢😢😢

My guy classmate used to sing this a lot. He even had the lyrics written in his notebook. I don't know where he is now but I always remember him when I hear this song. I hope he's doing great. 😀

Yesterday, I had a speech for the young people around 15-22 of age. one said to me "oh you dont know Ed sheran?" while laughing. I said, sorry I dont know him.. when they turn their back. I smiled and took out my phone from my pocket and listen to my favorites song since high-school and this song is one of it..... this song brings a lot of memories.

Joey showed you the true power of his voice in this song. Besides his voice, this is one powerful song.

5th of June 2023.....still got goosebumps when I listen to this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is the song that really brings me to the current life. Do exactly like the lyrics said, u will see the magical things happen in your life. LOVE YOURSELF in a wise way and synchronized LOVE EVERYONE AROUND YOU UNCONDITIONALLY and FORGIVENESS will bring you to the life of your dream.

Happy 50th birthday Joey Joe McIntyre McIntyre xxxxxxx

Joey's voice is phenomenal in this song. His vocals is so on point and he has such a powerful voice. I listen to this song so many times, it's one of my absolute favorites from him.

Don't you ever wish you were someone else, You were meant to be the way you are exactly. Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are. When you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far. And I hope you always stay the same, cuz there's nothin' 'bout you I would change. [Verse] I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be If you could realize, all the dreams you have inside. Don't be afraid if you've got something to say, Just open up your heart and let it show you the way. [Chorus] [Bridge] Believe in yourself. Reach down inside. The love you find will set you free. Believe in yourself, you will come alive. Have faith in what you do. You'll make it through. [Chorus]

Currently hit 40 and I can still clearly remember this in high school. Those days are the one of most cherished in the 90s till I pass away from this world. People in society now days need to listen to this song and just be yourself. You were meant to be exactly who you are. Embrace it.

Who's still listening in March 2024? I loved Joe in all my youth.

I met this very cool guy 20 years ago when his album was released in the Philippines he even signed an autograph on my cd that I bought on that day which i still kept and ive seen it a week ago.. thank you sir Joey stay the same as good as you are..

...1999, a great year for music too.. boy bands were big, Backstreet Boys, Nsync, LFO, BB Mak... and i was a big fan of them all, and New Kids on the Block.. ..this song is so under rated, powerful tune with a great message we must never forget and pass it on to our kids,, this young generation is so lost and continues to fall into the traps of following the crowd, and trying to impress others around them.. be unique !! ...and stay the same

It's 2 January 2024 and I am listening to this beautiful song and great voice by Joey. Thank you Joey, this song is so meaningful to me during my high school years. I always try to be grateful to what I have and I am who I am 'til today. I am 45 years and I have a great life now. :))

I remember my sister and cousin rewinding this on a CASSETTE over and over again, that's right I said it a CASSETTE!!! that's how old this song is but still such a great one and one of my fave 90's songs. New age music doesn't come close to the 80's/90's.

The words are real, the song remains the same, it doesnt matter what year it is. As long as you felt it its what mattters.

NKOTB @ Joey... One of the Best years during the 90s...

I just want to say " thank you very much for your beautiful song and inspiring many people,joe".GBU always joe.

I heard the song at the right time in my life in 1999. I always believe myself and this song made me believe more. Lots of love to McIntyre ❤

Its horrible waking up wishing you were someone else every day. I do it all the time and this song pulls me through it. There's nothing wrong with who you are as a person. If they don't like you for who you are then they are nothing but a passerby in your life. You were made the way you are for a reason, you never need to change. If someone asks you to change who you are gladly smile and walk away. You weren't made to be anyone else but YOU!!!

Sunday 16/04/23... Still amazing ❤❤ Somewhere under the palm trees of the beautiful Fiji Islands...🌴🌴🌴🌴☀️☀️☀️☀️

Anyone hear this song in June 2024?

The choir really killed it for me... . Feel shivers and chills.. My favorite song. Joey and the lyrics.. Ohhhh

Love joey McIntyre amazing voice and positive message. He is still handsome. Thanks Joey m.

This is gold. A good friend gave me the lyrics of this song 25 years ago, it hit me deep. It reminds me to love myself... June 30, 2024

2022 mana yang masih dengerin lagu ini. Keren sumpah. Jakarta, Indonesia supports this song 😍👍

As of the moment, Im 26 not yet too old not too young. But always coming repeatedly here on youtube playing these kind of music. Very proud to being one of your fan. 👋👏👏👏😍

JUNE 2020??? This is my favorite song of all time. Real music back in the day

The nostalgia. I haven’t heard this song in over a decade and it’s coming back like I listened yesterday. This dude was all over the radio. Man I miss the old days we are living through the worst times ever.

I sang this to kids in church when it came out. Now I sing it to my grandchildren 2024 ❤❤

why this video only have 1 million ++ views ? i know why. not many people have good music taste. I love the meaningful message in a lyrics. Love this man since childhood

One of the best inspirational songs ever in the history of music. A very meaningful song. =)

Magical and timeless! It brings positivity on the verge of new millennium. I've always have a soft spot for such majestically feel-good songs! He being immortalizes in this song 💓 It still sounds so fresh now, more than 2 decades later

There's something special about the late '90s vibe that many of us miss. The music, the fashion, the overall atmosphere-it all seemed to exude a sense of nostalgia and simplicity that's hard to find nowadays. Whether it's the iconic boy bands and pop divas ruling the airwaves or the thrill of watching classic movies and TV shows, there's a certain charm to that era that's hard to replicate. It was a time before smartphones and social media took over our lives, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment without constant digital distractions. So, it's completely understandable to feel a sense of longing for those simpler times when life seemed a little bit more carefree and the world felt a bit smaller.

i hate my self when i was teens, i was fat and ugly,,no confidence at all..this songs motivated me to stay strong...try my best to reach my dream instead of crying because of the looks...i went to his small concert in Jakarta...i never forget that moment :) Thanx joey for such meaningful song..need more songs like this instead of drugs, sex, party theme's songs :(((

Even though I’m a 1998 baby, NKOTB is one of my favorite bands to date. I was so happy when my mom took me to one of their concerts, because I just watched one of the best bands of all time perform. I’m proud to say that I am a Joey girl, and forever will be. He is so incredibly talented, and his love and passion is intensified when he sings. Not only that but, he’s very handsome as well. So beyond blessed that I got introduced to this amazing band❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

23 years ago..this is our English Week Song at SMKA Kerian. Still remember every word of its lyric 🥰

This is my favorite song when I was in elementary and even now I still sing this song every time I feel low. Nobody believed in me when I was a kid. People always think that I can't do things right. In school I was always bullied for being a little slow. I studied harder when I was in highschool and ranked higher than the bullies. Now I am the general manager in the company I work at. I always cry when I look back and remember the past.

Tears falling 😭😭😭 miss my childhood

Timeless in both melody and lyrics. I listened to this in high school when it came out and I still do now.

I have to admit it was his music I heard first from his group in the 80’s. I had to wait a decade and a half to appreciate his group’s music from the 80’s.

The message of the song is so powerful. I feel like someone tells me to be thankful for what I have.

This song was the one thing that calmed my baby when she was born. She's now 15 and still loves this song. Even has it as her ringtone. This was my song for her.

The baby of new kids on the block will forever be the baby in my eyes!

One of the songs that saved me as a tween! Thanks, Joey Mac.

This song will never get old love it so much and Joey McIntyre is so beautiful back then and still beautiful now at 48

I literally cry when I play this song.. because I really want to be same like others but..this song make me realize that you don't have to be like others..stay the same what you are.

This is the song of my life ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 The most important is accept us in the way we are exactly cause that's the way how we are meant to be ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 I love this song ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Anh là cả tuổi thơ của tôi.Cảm ơn anh rất nhiều, bài hát truyền cảm hứng, năng lượng tích cực cho mọi người, thật ý nghĩa.Chúc anh luôn khỏe mạnh, thành công và hạnh phúc.

Joey 🥰🥰 Hes such a genuine good person. I can’t believe I’ve been fan girling Joey for nearly 30 years 🤩

Great song,greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾✌🇲🇾✌

This song has real meaning’s to people who don’t believe in their self. So beautiful love it. Think before you try to change yourself because God made you the way you are. We are changing ourselves not thinking we are the same inside.We are changing our outside thinking we are going to be better but not true. Be happy people. Thank God for everything.

One of the most motivational songs ever, i miss this kind of music

This song gave me confidence through my rough days. Thanks Joey

This song deserve 100 millions views

"When Learned To Love Your Self You Better Of By Far"❤️

We Thank You for the gift of music. The message of the song is so soulful that makes you calm and collected.

I just randomly started singing this song at work today in the bathroom. I kept humming the tune and for a minute I was wondering if I was making up the tune, until the lyrics came back to me. It was nostalgic and cathartic...I had to search for it on KZfaq...but for a minute I thought the singer was Savage Garden lol. Either way, its a beautiful song and it really takes me back.

This Man is an incredible singer. Love Joey McIntyre. WOW-All NKOTB Good hearted people. Grew up to be decent nice men..honourable of their fame, fortune and families-respect their families and the women in their lives. Respect to them.!!

This song is still as good as it was when it first came out. True classic.

I'm 60 and I absolutely love this song!❤❤

2019 listeners! Hands up 🙌 2020 listeners?? From what country are you at?

Feeling nostalgic. Just when life was so simple, at least for me. Such a beautiful times. Thanks Joey!

😊 looks like a young not jacked Sylvester, i love this song simple lyrics but really heartwarming specially to the part where back up choir singing along with the lead singer Joey goose bump overload. Shout out from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
