Justin Timberlake teases *NSYNC collab on new album

Justin Timberlake seemingly confirmed an NSYNC reunion on his new album when responding to a TikTok comment.

Justin Timberlake gears up for his brand-new album. Everything I Thought It Was (slated for a March 15 release) finds the performer releasing his first album in nearly six years.

While the lead-off single ‘Selfish’ was marred in Britney Spears controversy, the forthcoming album still promises to be a must-listen. That mostly boils down to a potential NSYNC reunion, for which fans have been clamoring for years.

In a video shared on TikTok, Timberlake all but confirmed a musical collaboration is in the works and will be included on the album.

Justin Timberlake played coy about an NSYNC reunion for his album

Justin Timberlake first ruffled fan interest when showing off the deluxe edition of his new album Everything I Thought I Was. The singer unwrapped the shiny vinyl and gave fans a glimpse of the front and back cover art, including the tracklist.

While you can’t exactly see the song titles and potential collaborators, fans pressed him for details. “Blink twice if NSYNC is on a song called Paradise,” wrote Briana Resendez.

In a follow-up video, Timberlake responded to the comment. The singer can be seen in dark sunglasses. He pulled down the shades, looked at the camera, and blinked twice. In a swift movement, Timberlake seemingly confirmed an NSYNC collaboration is so close we can practically touch it.

In the comments, former NSYNC bandmate Lance Bass left a comment, writing, “Got something in your eye?”

Many others couldn’t hold back their excitement either. “I’m going to get all my posters back out and put them on my wall…husband can deal with it,” wrote one fan.

Another chimed in, “The man has spoken. Now blink 3 times if NSYNC will pop in with you on tour…”

“Is this a dream?!? Who’s choppin’ onions?!? You’ve got me all in my feels over here,” said another.

In promoting the album, Justin Timberlake heads out on The Forget Tomorrow World Tour in April. It’s yet unclear if NSYNC will make a special appearance on the road, but fans are clearly convinced.
