I voted "I'll be loving you forever" but the Westlife song instead of NKOTB. Just thinking of Karen cooing mother-shay over a washy 70's electric piano.

...I only vaguely have heard of Westlife , IIRC , maybe heard nothing ? Nothing that sticks to mind , anyway .
They were a British boy band during the Nineties ?
