NKOTB performing during the European leg of tour

The 2008–2009 tour was chronicled on the documentary, "Coming Home". The film featured a behind the scenes process of the group making the latest studio album, "The Block" and preparation for the upcoming tour. The footage is interlaced with performances of their biggest hits. It also features a new song "Coming Home", which was a potential addition to the album. The song was performed for the first time at the Toys for Tots benefit show. [7] The group describes the fill as "a love letter to the fans". [47] As a part of the promotion of releasing the documentary, NKOTB held a "Demand Us!" contest where fans could "demand" that NKOTB come to their city and host a DVD screening party at a local theatre. The cities that won were New York, Seattle, and Wheeling, West Virginia. [48] A DVD was released on February 10, 2010, followed by showings on Palladia HD. [49]
