If you are a 90s kid then this viral clip of subway passengers in New York singing 'I want it that way' by American vocal group Backstreet Boys, is sure to make you feel nostalgic. When Joel Wertheimer, a civil rights attorney, was having a tough day, little did he know that a train ride would cheer him up. Describing the incident on Twitter he wrote, "Had a really tough week and tonight I was the subway and some guy walks between train cars, shirtless, bumping a speaker. I wasn't in the mood for Showtime particularly. But sometimes people and life surprise you and a little magic happens." Along with the tweet, he shared a video that featured a group of people in a subway singing the song.

Music at the right place and at the right time is really uplifting. — Ervin Cui (@ErvinCui) June 23, 2019 We all needed this video this week.
