During their live musical performance on the late-night show, the group performed “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” their first new song in years.

“I want to create new memories. We’ve been singing the same songs for almost 25 years,” Littrell told PEOPLE. “It’s not that we’re not excited to sing our old hits, but we want to grow, too. We don’t want to be stuck in what was. We want to continue to grow with our fans.” (sul/wng)
