After legal battles, *NSYNC’s 2000 smash “Bye Bye Bye” found the boy band embarking on a new chapter with a new label — and a new attitude.
on their self-titled debut album — released in 1997 in Germany and 1998 in the US — the group was locked in a highly publicized legal battle with former managerand former label RCA Records. After suing Pearlman for fraud and misrepresentation, they were countersued with the threat of no longer being able to record or perform under the name * NSYNC .
“It’s a message more about a girl and a guy and their relationship, not so much about the business itself. But it kind of worked that way.”, former president of Jive Records. “It was a perfect epithet to the first stage of their career and represented their emancipation, where they took matters into their own hands.”“The whole court case and the whole dispute … played out in the court of public opinion,” said Weiss. “So it also gave tremendous momentum to the song when it came out.
“This boy band was kind of more on the rap side, and the lead singer of the band was trying to sing, ‘Bye, bye, bye’ and he was like, ‘This song is ridiculous,’” said Andreas Carlsson, who co-wrote the tune with its producers Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze. “Halfway through the song, it’s like, ‘I can’t sing this crap with a British accent!’“So they left and didn’t want to do the song. So we were sitting on the song. And thankfully we were able to give it then to *NSYNC. It was serendipity.
“We’re all excited about it,” he said. “And, you know, you always think, ‘OK, hopefully it has potential. Hopefully it moves you or makes you want to bop your head.’ ” “Bye Bye Bye” would go on to launch record-setting sales of “No Strings Attached” after the album’s release on March 21, 2000, and even earned a Record of the Year Grammy nomination in 2001. And 24 years later, the song was embraced by a whole new generation when it was featured in the opening sequence of 2024 blockbuster“It was ‘bye bye bye’ to childhood,” said Joey Fatone of *NSYNC’s 2000 smash “Bye Bye Bye.
