“Better Place” is intended to be “a love letter to our fans.” Listen to the single here.
*NSYNC fans had to wait more than two decades for a reunion. Now the time has come. Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass release “Better Place,” their first new single since 2002, today (September 29).
A few days earlier, the boy band shared a behind-the-scenes clip from the recording studio. Timberlake addresses his band colleagues in the video. “There were so many stars aligned and that’s why I reached out to you and said, ‘Hey, something has come up,'” the “Mirrors” singer explains. Justin Timberlake describes the pop song as “a love letter to our fans.”
*NSYNC already caused a stir at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. The five boy band members appeared on stage together again for the first time to present Taylor Swift with the award for “Best Pop”. The singer also couldn’t believe the reunion. “I had your dolls. Do you have anything planned? What will happen now? “You are pop par excellence, and to have that come out of your golden pop hands is…too much,” Swift celebrated. It is still unclear whether further music will be released by the group after the song “Better Place”, which will also be part of the soundtrack of the third part of the children’s film series “Trolls”.
