Popular actor Will Smith recently took to his Instagram account and posted a picture with NSYNC featuring Justin Timberlake. His caption read:
“Welcome back fellas :-)”
After decades in and out of the popular culture, NSYNC is officially back with new music. On Wednesday, Universal debuted the latest trailer for Trolls Band Together, the upcoming animated film starring *NSYNC member Justin Timberlake.
The trailer revealed the first snippet of a new NSYNC song, which is titled “Better Place” and will be a part of the film’s official soundtrack. The song, which will be officially released by RCA Records on September 29th, is NSYNC’s first official song in two decades — and now we have a look at how it came together.
Timberlake recently took to social media to share a video of himself and his bandmates, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass, in the studio creating “Better Place.”
“When the stars align… got my brothers back together in the studio to work on something fun and the energy was special,” Timberlake’s caption reads. “Better Place is coming 9/29 LOVE Y’ALL”
The speculation sparked about NSYNC’s Trolls reunion thanks to the MTV Video Music Awards, when all five members of the band appeared in person to present Taylor Swift with the Best Pop award for her song “Anti-Hero.”
Some of the band members even gave Swift friendship bracelets, a reference to the bracelet-trading phenomenon around Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour.
NSYNC’s appearance — their first public outing since accepting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018 — led to speculation from fans, and from Swift herself, that the band had some other collaboration in the cards.
“Better Place” is the band’s first official song together since 2001’s “Girlfriend.” Some of the band members have performed together recently. Last year, three members of the band performed at WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss and singer Ryan Cabrera’s wedding.
