After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Bertelsmann Music Group, the group's second album, No Strings Attached (2000), sold over one million copies in one day and 2.42 million copies in one week, which was a record for over fifteen years. NSYNC's first two studio albums were both certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Celebrity (2001) debuted with 1.8 million copies in its first week in the US. Singles such as "Bye Bye Bye", "This I Promise You", "Girlfriend", "Pop" and "It's Gonna Be Me" reached the top 10 in several international charts, with the last being a US Billboard Hot 100 number one. In addition to a host of Grammy Award nominations, NSYNC has performed at the World Series, the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games, and sang or recorded with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Phil Collins, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, Nelly, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Mary J. Blige, Alabama, and Gloria Estefan. The group has received eight Grammy Award nominations.
NSYNC last recorded new material in 2002. The five members have reunited a couple of times, including at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards and to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The band completed five nationwide concert tours and has sold over 70 million records, becoming one of the best-selling boy bands in history. Rolling Stone recognized their instant success as one of the Top 25 Teen Idol Breakout Moments of all time. NSYNC is set to release their first new song in over 20 years, "Better Place", for the upcoming animated movie, Trolls Band Together, which Timberlake stars in.
All I Want Is You
*NSYNC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here with you, I have all that I desire
(Here with you)
It's been a long year but somehow we got by
Now, it's Christmas eve and love is on our side
I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
(Beneath the tree)
Nothin' else will do, all I want is you this Christmas
(This Christmas, this Christmas)
Children sing Christmas carols at our door, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Children sing)
Spreading joy, that's what Christmas time is for
(Spreading joy)
Though we don't have much, you've got me and I've got you
Yeah, yeah, yeah and with a little faith miracles come true
And I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
(Beneath the tree)
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me
Nothin' else will do, all I want is you this Christmas
(This Christmas, this Christmas)
I don't want the love of any other girl
I want only one thing in this whole wide world
Nothing else will do, all I want is you this Christmas
(This Christmas, this Christmas)
Cheek to cheek, the lights are low, a kiss beneath the mistletoe
Your face lit by the fire's glow, that's all I want tonight
And I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me
Nothin' else will do, all I want is you this Christmas
(This Christmas, this Christmas)
Nothin' else will do, all I want is you this Christmas, yes
