The Hanson brothers - Isaac, Taylor and Zac were barely in their teens when they took the world (and the 90s) by storm with their infectious pop hit, MMMBop.

 

Their signature song is reaching its 20th anniversary this year. Isaac, Taylor and Zac were 16, 14 and 11, respectively. However, the brothers are all grown up now, and have kids of their own.

 

The band are now releasing a new song to commemorate 20 years of boppin' and 25 years of being a band. The video for their song, I Was Born, is about 'celebrating dreams'.

 

Taylor, who formed the band as a nine-year-old said, "This video is about celebrating the dreams that we all have, and the pure optimism of the human spirit. 

 

 

"And what better way to show that optimistic view of the world than through the eyes of children? For 25 years we have been able to live out what we feel we were 'born to do', and this song brings that message full circle."

 

Helping them spread that heartfelt message are the Hanson guys' children - they have 12 between them.

 

The adorable tots appear in the black and white video with their dads, singing and boppin' along the music. The gorgeous slow-moving video shows the kids performing their various extra-curricular activities such as playing doctor, ballet dancing, baseball, playing the guitar and dressing up in costumes.

 

“Featuring our own kids made sense because we knew they would share an honest performance,” Zac told People. “We loved the fact that it added another dimension to the story of pursuing our dreams for the last 25 years.”

 

 

“From the earliest conversations about this song, we imagined kids featured in the video to elevate the song’s message of unbridled optimism for the future,” Taylor said.

 

“There was a lot of excitement across the board from the kids so we tried to just capture that in each appearance, which cover the gamut of their many personalities,” Isaac says. “Thankfully for us, they all love the song.”

 

The single will be a part of Hanson’s upcoming Greatest Hit album Middle of Everywhere, set for release on Sept. 8.
