The boyband era pretty much lasted from 1997 to 2002. While Backstreet Boys held sway at the start, NSYNC took over from 2000 to 2002. And it was not just a couple of hits; ‘Bye Bye Bye’ was the anthem of 2000 and ‘No Strings Attached’ dominated as the best-selling album of 2000. NSYNC capped off the era with a bang with ‘Girlfriend’ in 2002. However, NSYNC hit the pause button in 2002 after three successful albums, and Justin Timberlake, the face of NSYNC, decided to go solo and focus on his career.

After a lengthy hiatus of twenty years, the band is finally back together in full form, which is just what any millennial is raving about these days.

NSYNC and Justin Timberlake lit up the stage before dropping their latest track

Justin Timberlake pulled off a major reunion when he got back together with NSYNC on Wednesday night during his pre-album-release bash at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass belted out their ’90s classics. This included, ‘Bye Bye Bye’ and ‘It’s Gonna Be Me’. They also gave a peek into their fresh track ‘Paradise’. This unexpected get-together was their first onstage reunion since their appearance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards last September.

Justin Timberlake took to Instagram on Wednesday, March 13, to share an audio snippet teasing the new track, which included his former boy bandmates. The song was part of his upcoming album, ‘Everything I Thought It Was’, which will release on Friday, March 15. Seeing their beloved boy band perform together after such a long break, fans became overwhelmed with tears of happiness as their long-awaited dream became reality.

While most reactions were filled with joy at the sight of NSYNC and Justin Timberlake performing together again after many years, there were also a few negative opinions expressed.

The iconic reunion had fans losing their minds

NSYNC dropped their first song in 20 years back in late 2023, surprising fans with a spontaneous concert. They even teased another new song for Justin Timberlake’s upcoming solo album, ‘Everything I Thought It Was’. Now, after finally getting a sneak peek of the upcoming track, many are feeling the “I’ve been waiting forever” line from ‘Paradise’.

Many fans also wished they were at the Los Angeles concert to witness the iconic moment firsthand.

Some also voiced a couple of negative opinions about the band and their reunion.

‘Everything I Thought It Was’ begins with a track named ‘Memphis’. This track would be a tribute to the singer’s hometown, and another titled ‘F**kin’ Up the Disco’. It will feature a total of 18 tracks. And the lead single, ‘Selfish’, has already been premiered at a special concert in Timberlake’s hometown of Memphis.
