Songland has welcomed many A-listers over its two seasons, from John Legend to the Jonas Brothers, but no special guests have ever received such a fawning welcome as this Monday’s Boyz II Men.

Ester Dean called them “the coolest band ever!” Ryan Tedder, who said it would “be one of [his] greatest credits” if he got Boyz II Men to record his song, revealed that he had learned to sing from the Boyz.

With their above-mentioned recent TV appearances, Boyz II Men are more beloved than ever, so the timing for their Songland episode — on which they were looking for a contemporary hit to bring their signature sound into the year 2020 — was perfect.

The only other Songland participant to ever record all three finalists’ entries was wil.i.am on the second episode of  Season 1, when he announced that he would remove three tracks from the Black Eyed Peas' forthcoming album to make room for the winning song and its two runners-up.

As for Monday’s three tracks, I think the Tedder-coached second version of “Bad Things” has a chance, but “Love Struck” is a bona fide smash.

Vibey, funky, and sexy, it has just enough retro swagger for the Boyz to make it their own while still updating their catalog.

Listen to Boyz II Men’s version of “Love Struck” below,  and tune in next Monday, when Songland returns with guest Bebe Rexha
