Nostalgia for the 1990s/2000s boy band explosion reached a fever pitch on Tuesday night as NSYNC reunited to present an award at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York.
While the group didn’t spend too much time on stage while presenting the Best Pop music video award to Taylor Swift, the presentation will reportedly be followed by a new NSYNC song for the upcoming film Trolls Band Together.
Yes, the DreamWorks Animation franchise co-starring NSYNC member Justin Timberlake shared a new teaser during the VMAs that featured a glimpse at what’s likely a new NSYNC song called “Take You To A Better Place.” You can hear a glimpse of the new song toward the end of the promo.

NSYNC hasn’t produced new music together since 2001’s Celebrity, which featured songs like “Pop” and “Girlfriend.” The group has made brief appearances since then, including a surprise performance at the MTV VMAs back in 2013.
The group also appeared at Coachella alongside Ariana Grande in 2019, sans Timberlake.
However, it looks like NSYNC is really back together for a new song that should come out closer to the release of Trolls Band Together in November.
Either that, or they’re really just … trolling us.
