Nick Carter has penned a heartfelt tribute to his late brother Aaron Carter in the form of a new song.
Aaron died at the age of 34 in November last year and now his older brother has released a tune in his honour.
The Backstreet Boys star, 42, shared the song with his followers. It discusses how he wishes his brother was able to overcome his demons to live a plentiful life.
In the track titled Hurts to Love You, Nick sings the words: "Always hoped your tomorrows / Would be better than the days before / I hoped you’d find your road to follow / To a place you were happy in this world."
He goes on to say that while it hurts to love Aaron, he still does.
The words continue: "Miss you with all my heart, you know I always will / I always prayed for peace my soul could feel/ It’s hard to let go of the anger / I know for me it took some time / Sometimes the darkness lasts forever / Feels like the light won’t ever shine."
Nick gave his 2.2million Instagram followers a glimpse of the music video for his track as he uploaded it to the platform. The montage saw the emotional-looking star sing the words to the tune over a background of throwback home videos of the pair.
He captioned his post: "We all have someone in our lives that no matter what they do and how bad it hurts you still love them. So I worked it out the best way I know how. #HurtsToLoveYou"
Fans were quick to share their love for the song in the comments section, with one user writing: "This song is so breathtaking.. meaningful.. beautiful.. powerful!"
Another agreed, saying: "Proud of you for being so vulnerable and sharing your pain, grief, and this healing process with us. Love you."
Nick's tribute comes after Aaron was found dead in a bathtub in his home in California. The cause of his death is yet to be confirmed, with toxicology results still awaited.
At the time of his death, Nick penned an emotional tribute to his brother alongside a string of throwback snaps.
He took to social media to say: "My heart has been broken today. Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded."
