Now or Never is the debut solo album by Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys, released in 29 October 2002 by Jive Records. The album debuted at #17 in its first week on the Billboard 200,[5] selling some 70,000 copies. It fell out of the top 50 in its second week, but sold well enough to be certified Gold by the RIAA in December 2002.[6] Two singles were released from the album, neither of which had any impact on the US charts. The first single, "Help Me", did reach #9 on the Canadian Singles Chart.[7] "I Got You" was a major hit in Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia. Aaron Carter gave sneak previews of some of the songs from the album on his album Another Earthquake. The album sold over 550,000 copies worldwide.
