The new song pays homage to the most-loved boy bands in pop culture with mention of *NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, New Edition, Boys II Men, 98 Degrees and more.

"We decided let's celebrate all boy bands through the generations," Donnie Wahlberg told "GMA." "New Edition who inspired us, all the way to the new groups of today, BTS, One D [Direction], you name it."

NKOTB -- consisting of Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight and Jordan Knight -- are about to head on The Mixtape Tour, along with more nostalgic artists.

"We're back with Tiffany, so that's the same," Wahlberg said. "She really gave us our big break all those years ago on her tour."

He went on, "I'll tell you what hasn't changed, the enthusiasm of our amazing fans."

In addition to Tiffany, Salt-N-Pepa, Debbie Gibson and Naughty by Nature will join the guys on tour, which kicks off May 2.

"Hangin' Tough" is out today.
