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.

You enjoy the deep, intense beats, and I want to completely surrender to the music
I wanna dance all night, you like it nice and slow
I want to keep dancing and enjoying the night, while you prefer a slower, more intimate pace
Don't want it any other way, tell all your friends you're gonna stay
We don't want anything to change, and I want you to assure your friends that you will stay with me
When were together, you know that we do it better
When we are together, we outshine others in every aspect
I like to see you lose control (ain't nobody better, we do it better)
I enjoy witnessing you let go and be uninhibited (there is no one better than us, we excel)
I know a place, say that you'll go with me (ain't nobody better, we do it better)
I am aware of a special place, and I hope you agree to accompany me (there is no one better than us, we outperform)
