Also, as far as I remember, the band initially wanted to go in a different direction than IML, but Max Martin said he wanted them to do a song like the ones that had made him become a fan. Of course, whether that meant that "come on guys, let's do this idea I've got in stock" or if they then went at it together - who knows. But the songs has MM's fingerprints all over them.

Any way, his invovlement was never a secret, still. Plus they went to ANOTHER frequent boyband writer, Andreas Carlsson, for Bounce. (Everyday sounds quite a bit like N'Sync's Bye Bye Bye, just saying.)
