*NSYNC Debut New Song During First Performance In Over 10 Years

After dropping their first song in 20 years in late 2023, *NSYNC just performed together for the first time in more than a decade.

During Justin Timberlake’s March 13 concert in Los Angeles, his fellow *NSYNC bandmates Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and JC Chasez joined him onstage for a surprise reunion.

As seen in videos shared to Timberlake’s Instagram story, the boy band treated fans to some of its throwback hits, including “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s Gonna Be Me,” and also gave a debut performance of their new track, “Paradise,” which is featured on Timberlake’s forthcoming solo album, Everything I Thought I Was.

Timberlake posted a snippet of “Paradise” on Instagram shortly before the onstage moment — which bandmate Kirkpatrick had teased was in the works, writing, “Would be fun to perform this together sometime.”

The March 13 concert marked the first time the group performed live since the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, when the band reunited for a medley of its greatest hits to celebrate Timberlake's Video Vanguard Award.

*NSYNC fans were quick to comment on the surprise reunion. “I’m not crying you’re crying! So beautiful fellas!” one user said on Instagram, while another fan wrote on X, “Can they do the Super Bowl next year please?”

Following Timberlake’s free, one-night concert, he shared a photograph of the stage with five empty stools. His bandmate Bass commented on the post, “That was fun. Let’s do it again soon.”

“Paradise” follows *NSYNC’s first release in two decades, “Better Place,” which dropped in September 2023 for the Trolls: Band Together movie soundtrack. That same month, *NSYNC made a surprise appearance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, to the delight of longtime fans.

Timberlake discussed reuniting with his bandmates during a January 2024 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, sharing that the group still has the same “chemistry.”
