Apparently they played the whole song on America's Got Talent tonight lol?? Not a live performance but like a clip from the movie of the whole song or at least a good part of it... shocked it hasn't popped up online yet It was the same 40-second clip of the chorus that's been available since the release date was announced, I just watched it. It's making the rounds in the fandom.

As expected, this is the latest flyer from RCA.

I really like this. It’s got that slight disco feel to it that’s kind of popular or being done a decent amount lately. It doesn’t sound like a throwback to an *NSYNC song which I was kind of expecting. It’s probably closer to Justin’s “Can’t Stop The Feeling” than anything by them as a group. It’s a feel good cute little bop.

It’s annoying how on streaming services it says *NSYNC and Justin Timberlake. When did he officially leave?

Justin didn't (officially) leave the group. The reason why his name appears alongside the band on streaming services is to boost the song there, as well as "Better Place" to appear as one of the songs on his profile.

The beginning is interesting and then it goes total annoying overscreaming...

It's very 2020's disco in the style of Dua Lipa/Doja Cat/Kylie/Etc. Sounds like it could be a decent hit. I like it.

Outside of JC's vocals, it just sounds like a solo Justin track. Like where are the harmonies?
The song is harmless though, but definitely a missed opportunity. They could have done something so much more nostalgic and impactful than this.

I like the song it's cute but for God's sake other than JC's vocals where are the NSYNC vocals? It's basically Justin ft. JC Chasez

A safe little bop. It's for a Trolls movie, so I can't really fault it for being super cheesy knowing why it came together in the first place. I really do hope to see them do more beyond this and on their own accord – which I feel like is going to happen? They're doing so much promo for this, and it would suck if it was just for a one-off song on a kids movie soundtrack, lol.

KIIS just kicked off the 8am hour with this for New Music Friday. I think this will be huge. It's like a boy band version of Dance The Night. Loving the build-up throughout the whole song.

I like it, but it sounds like this was supposed to be a Justin solo song and the rest of the group was brought in later.

Any info yet when the music videos comes out? And how is it doing on streaming since that's what's most important here.
No.1 on Us iTunes is great but they need strong streaming points and I'm sure it'll be a radio hit. And it would be great if they could crack the top 40 on billboard hot 100.

There's an official lyric video on the Trolls YT channel but NSync are all members of SAG so until the strike is resolved no video or real promo (appearances, etc).
No idea how it is doing on streaming offhand but I know Cumulus and Audacy stations (and I think iHeart?) are playing hourly across pop, AC and Hot AC.

But would take a while for them to film and then create the video anyway even if filming started today.

This is cute.
I wonder if this will be another Jonas Brothers - Sucker situation where it’ll exceed the wildest expectations and hit #1 or another Keep Going Up where it’ll have a lofty radio debut but eventually fizzle out. 💀

I'm hoping its a slow burner hit until the video comes out and the movie as well. And hopefully atleast hit the top 20 or top 10 in the end.

For one, Justin and JC nearly always split lead vocal duties; either with pretty equal time on the same song ("Bye Bye" where they switch off on the verses and pre-choruses), or with each having solo (essentially) songs on albums (Justin with "Gone" and JC with "Up Against the Wall" for example). Hell JC actually sings more of the lead on a big hit like "This I Promise You" since he sings the bridge. Additionally, I think one of the main draws of NSync was that they were a group with true 5 part harmony. In their best songs you really hear them all harmonizing almost like a barbershop quintet. Chris even talked about this on their recent Hot Ones as he said they established very early on that Justin and JC would take lead, Chris would do the high parts, Lance would take the bass parts, and Joey would take the middle.
