It ain't no lie — *NSYNC is officially putting out new music. Late Wednesday night, Universal Pictures debuted the latest trailer for Trolls Band Together, the upcoming film starring *NSYNC's Justin Timberlake. The trailer confirms, after months of online rumors suggesting as much, that *NSYNC would be reuniting for a new song on the Trolls Band Together soundtrack. The song, which is titled "Better Place", can be heard throughout the new trailer, and will be officially released by RCA Records on September 29th.

This comes after all five members of *NSYNC — Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass — appeared in person at Tuesday's MTV Video Music Awards, where they presented Taylor Swift with the Best Pop award for her song "Anti-Hero." Some of the band members even gave Swift friendship bracelets, a reference to the bracelet-trading phenomenon around Swift's ongoing Eras Tour. *NSYNC's appearance — their first public outing since accepting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018 — led to speculation from fans, and from Swift herself, that the band had some other collaboration in the cards.

Has *NSYNC Reunited Before Trolls 3?

"Better Place" is the band's first official song together since 2001's "Girlfriend." While this will mark *NSYNC's first new song in over 20 years, some of the band members have performed together recently. Last year, three members of the band performed at WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss and singer Ryan Cabrera's wedding. 

What Is Trolls 3 About?

In Trolls Band Together, after two films of true friendship and relentless flirting, Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are now officially, finally, a couple (#broppy)! As they grow closer, Poppy discovers that Branch has a secret past. He was once part of her favorite boyband phenomenon, BroZone, with his four brothers: Floyd (Golden Globe-nominated electropop sensation Troye Sivan), John Dory (Eric André; Sing 2), Spruce (Grammy winner Daveed Diggs; Hamilton) and Clay (Grammy winner Kid Cudi; Don't Look Up). BroZone disbanded when Branch was still a baby, as did the family, and Branch hasn't seen his brothers since. But when Branch's bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop-star villains—Velvet (Emmy winner Amy Schumer; Trainwreck) and Veneer (Grammy winner and Tony nominee Andrew Rannells; The Book of Mormon)—Branch and Poppy embark on a harrowing and emotional journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd from a fate even worse than pop-culture obscurity.
