*NSYNC fans, you’d better take a seat, because you’re not going to be thrilled about this news.
On Monday, Justin Timberlake stopped by the Kelly Clarkson Show where he seemingly teased that he and the boys were making new music together. As fans will remember, J.T., JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick came together last year to make their first song in over two decades for the movie Trolls Band Together, appropriately titled Better Place. And when speaking about said reunion, the Bad Teacher star teased:
“That was fun. It’s kind of crazy. There’s so much that picks up right where it left off as far as chemistry. We’ve been in the studio. So there may be a little something in the future.”

“We’ve been in the studio”?? So, like, either new *NSYNC music for Justin’s upcoming album, or for an album of their own?? Well, as it turns out, neither really are true…
On Wednesday, insiders at RCA Records told TMZ that the 43-year-old’s tease was strictly in reference to the boys recording BACKUP vocals for his upcoming album, Everything I Thought I Was…
So, in other words, it sounds like it’s not a proper *NSYNC reunion! It all apparently happened when they came together for Better Place… But RCA Records was adamant that it’s not new *NSYNC, and if another reunion ever were to happen, it’d definitely be more of a collaboration of all of the guys rather than just mere backup vocals for JT’s work.
As for now, though, the outlet was told Justin is focusing solely on his own new music, which we all know struggled upon its debut. Some of that is because of Britney Spears fans, but RCA also suspects it could be because fans are just hungry for more *NSYNC.
