Background

"When I wrote the song, I think we wrote it with the intention going back to what the Backstreet Boys and what we were known for, which is love songs. As a writer and an artist, sometimes as your career goes on, you try to make points, and you try to be overly creative." Nick Carter said, "I just wanted to go back to the basics, and tap into what our fans knew us for." He also claimed this song was inspired by Ed Sheeran's songwriting.

Music video

The music video for "I Will Wait" was filmed and released on YouTube and Vevo on September 22, 2015. Nick stated that the inspiration of the video was based on The Notebook.

There are a lot of stories that are in the video. The song really kind of was like an old-fashioned love song. It sort of has fifties elements to it. So when I decided to do the video, we had this idea of doing my own take on The Notebook. With some elderly couples, it had some similarities to that. So we found an actual couple who had been married for forty/fifty years in Hollywood that worked together as actors. So they were able to portray this couples who -- if you watch the video you'll see that one of them passed away -- and then they go to Heaven together. But they truly were in love and still are together. So it was really, really, really sad, but also cool as well to see that there was an inner love story. I thought the song was really beautiful, but when people watch a music video, and if there's something they can emotionally attach to, it hits even deeper into the soul and into the heart.[2]
