New Kids defend sexy lyrics
New Kids On The Block have defended the sexy lyrical content on their comeback record.

The reformed boyband, now in their mid to late thirties, released their first album in 14 years earlier this week.

One song, 'Sexify My Love', is about "taking it to the next level", while another, 'Full Service', features the line: "I'll fill you up-up, pump you up-up, 'til the tip-top."

Group member Danny Wood said the lyrics reflect the fact that New Kids On The Block are "older now".

"We're not talking about 'Please don't go girl' and 'You got the right stuff'. It's a bit different," he told DS. "We couldn't be singing songs like that on a new record now.

"We're all older, we have families and we've been through a lot in life. We had to make a record that's true to us."
