The promotional rollout for Backstreet Boys' new album 2013 In A World Like This must include premiering songs on every available music outlet. Two new highly anticipated tracks, "Trust Me" and "Soldier" have received the preview treatment, via Entertainment Weekly and Amazon, respectively.

"Trust Me" is a wholly different sound for the "I Want It That Way" band. Taking relaxed, Jack Johnson-esque vibes, the acoustic summer song is perfect for those lazy late summer days. "This is our 'fun' song that we did in London. It makes you feel like you could be at a pub or sports game with your mates," member Howie Dorough told EW.

The song definitely does have a carefree vibe, and emphasizes that point Backstreet Boys made early when promoting their comeback record: they made they music they wanted to listen to.

AJ McLean and Dorough take the vocal lead on the majority of "Trust Me," with occasional soft harmonies from the other four members, adding the signature BSB flavor to an otherwise unrecognizable song.

Listen to "Trust Me" below.

Yesterday (July 23), BSB premiered "Soldier," the closing track from In A World Like This, and the album will end on both a hopeful note and a high one. "I'll be your soldier, / I will fight until it's older, / And if your heart is getting colder, / You know I'll always be your soldier," the Backstreet Boys harmonize over the upbeat, jangly pop beat.

The loving, hopeful lyrics are perfect Backstreet Boys fare. Whereas "Trust Me" comes from left field, "Soldier" is exactly the kind of song BSB fans would expect from the group's eighth studio album.

Listen to "Soldier" below:

In A World Like This comes out Tuesday, July 30. In addition to lead single "In A World Like This" and the often-played live song "Permanent Stain," BSB have teased "Madeleine," "Love Sombody" and "One Phone Call."

BSB are currently prepping for their In A World Like This Tour.
