Music video
"More than That" on YouTube

It reached number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and ran for 20 weeks, and number 12 on the UK Singles Chart, ending their 13th consecutive Top 10 run, the last being "The Call" which peaked at number eight. It performed poorly compared to other singles of the Backstreet Boys, selling only 800,000 copies and failing to reach the top 10 in any of their main markets. However, it did very well on TRL, where the video was retired on August 17, 2001.

The song appeared in the band's first compilation album, The Hits – Chapter One.

Music video

The music video for "More Than That" was directed by Marcus Raboy. The video features two sets of scenes: one in which the band sings in a desert hangar with a large movie screen behind them showing various scenes behind them, including a desert, a city with a busy traffic, a cloudy sky, lightning, and sunbreak. The other scenes feature the band both walking in the desert, as a group, and driving in two convertibles; one with A.J. McLean as the driver and Nick Carter as the passenger and the other one driven by Brian Litrell is with Howie Dorough as the passenger seat and Kevin Richardson was at the backseat was down a desert road. Helicopter shots were taken first time on a Backstreet Boys video while they were driving in the desert on the video. The footage on the large screen is also used in the video itself.
