So many but I do like this one, the backing singers take what is already a great song to a new level. Live too which makes it even better imo

Possibly, on song credits background vocals are usually restricted to hip hop which I presume means the singer who's voice is behind the rapper. Backing vocals usually means harmonies and stuff.
So does this mean everything on this thread is wrong, or the OP used the wrong terminology.
No doubt someone will correct me and provide a fuller response
