Drake Performs 'I Want It That Way' with Backstreet Boys in Toronto

Drake wanted it to be the same as the band.

It didn't take long for the Backstreet Boys to invite the city's most famous resident up on stage after Drizzy took the short drive from his massive estate to catch a performance.

Drake told the audience how "I Want It That Way" had changed his life.

This is how it goes. Drake said when he was 13 he was an awkward kid with a serious crush on a girl he knew, but it wasn't reciprocated.

Drake said it was the first time he felt cool after the girl asked him if he wanted to dance.

The group broke into song after Drake called the tune one of the greatest of all time.

Everyone in the crowd was singing along and it was clear that Drake wasn't faking it.
