Justin Timberlake invites *NSYNC fans to 'Paradise' on upcoming song with the boy band

Gearing up to drop his new album, Everything I Thought It Was, on March 15, Justin Timberlake is using his time (very wisely in our opinion) to pretty much confirm *NSYNC will make an appearance on the tracklist.

Here’s the series of events that led the Internet to freak out about a boy band reunion on the album.

Between JT taking to TikTok to show off the contents of the deluxe vinyls, and posting a video montage of the “MAKING OF THE EITIW VINYLS,” on IG, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the tracklist on the back of the sleeve, which seemed to show that the a track called “Paradise,” will feature Timberlake’s former boy band, *NSYNC .

After the internet did its thing, Timberlake took to TikTok once more to reply to a follower who commented “Blink twice if *NSYNC is on a song called Paradise.” For his response, JT remained silent, stared straight into our souls, dropped down his sunglasses and very deliberately blinked twice, confirming the news.

While Timberlake pretty much already hinted as much during a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show , noting he and bandmates JC Chasez , Lance Bass , Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick were cooking up a follow-up to their comeback single “Better Place” from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, it’s still hits different when you actually see it in writing.
