The members included Justin Timberlake, Joshua Scott "JC" Chasez, Christopher Alan Kirkpatrick, Joseph Anthony Fatone Jr., (who also went on to get second place on Dancing with the Stars in 2007), and James Lance Bass.

Bass flew to Orlando for auditions.

The upbeat dance track, which reached the top 5 of the Hot 100 and stayed on the chart for five weeks, is considered their signature song. The group's first number one single in the U.S. was "It's Gonna Be Me," which remained at the top on the Billboard Hot 100 from July 29 to August 11, 2000.https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8466417/nsync-its-gonna-be-me-this-week-in-billboard-chart-history-2000
