AJ McLean Releases 'Into Your Heart' From Upcoming LP SEX, LOVE & MONEY
The Backstreet Boys member launches THE BETTER MAN TOUR, his first North American solo tour.
Multi-platinum recording artist Alexander James McLean has released the first single, 'Into Your Heart,' from the just-announced LP 'Love, Sex & Money,' set to arrive on Black Friday, November 27, 2026. The single is available across all digital platforms now, and the track arrives alongside an official music video.
Following the release of his solo album 'My Name Is Alexander James' earlier this year, 'Into Your Heart' marks the next step in McLean's new creative chapter. Blending pop with hip-hop influences, the track is immediate, infectious and driven by an undeniable hook. The single is a continuation of the artistic freedom that has defined his music as Alexander James.
'This one just felt good from the second we made it,' says McLean. 'There's an energy to 'Into Your Heart' that I love. The visual is a total vibe, dance has always been such a huge part of who I am as a performer, I wanted to make a video where I could really lean into that. One of the best parts of this chapter is having the freedom to follow the music wherever it takes me. Right now, this is where I'm at.'
The release continues a journey that began last November with the 'hi my name is alex' EP and expanded earlier this year with the LP release. After more than three decades as a member of the Backstreet Boys, McLean is stepping forward as AJ McLean is Alexander James with a body of work rooted in honesty, reflection, gratitude and personal growth.
This fall, McLean will bring that new music to audiences across the country with The Better Man Tour, his first-ever North American solo tour under his full given name. Launching October 20 at Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY, the tour will pair his latest releases, tease what's to come, and share the music and moments that have defined McLean's career.
