Ryan Cabrera has reimagined his 2004 hit single "On the Way Down" to celebrate it's 20th anniversary. This new version features collaborations with several prominent artists, including AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, Joey Fatone of NSYNC, Taylor Hanson of Hanson, Drake Bell, Nicholas Petricca of Walk the Moon, and Nash Overstreet of Hot Chelle Rae.

⭐ I give this cover of an iconic track an 8/10.

At first, I thought, “Oh no, not another failed acoustic version of a song that was so much better back in the day.” But I have to admit, this new version is really pleasant to listen to. Even though I’ve never really connected with Ryan’s more recent projects, this cover is a nice surprise and well-executed.
