Gang’s all here!
*NSYNC stars in a new featurette for Trolls Band Together, which shows the quintet reunited in the studio recording their pop track for the film, “Better Place,” marking their first song together in more than 20 years.
In the featurette, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick are shown embracing in the studio, with Timberlake asking Bass’ mom at one point, “Are you all up in your feels right now?”
Subsequent clips show the guys cracking jokes with one another, interspersed with scenes from the movie, before Timberlake can be heard saying in a voiceover, “What, you didn’t think BroZone was the only band I’ve ever been in, did you?”

*NSYNC’s new song off the Trolls Band Together soundtrack finally arrived in late September after the group began teasing it, and their long-awaited reunion, the previous month.
“Better Place” is an infectious pop banger, calling back the ‘90s and ‘00s icons’ early boy-band sound while giving it a contemporary update with a disco-pop beat. Each member gets their own moment to shine, while Timberlake, 42, carries the chorus.
“Just let me take you to a better place / I’m gonna make you kiss the sky tonight / Yeah, if you let me show the way / I’m so excited to see you excited,” the hitmaker croons, taking longtime fans and new listeners alike to a dance-worthy euphoria.
The same day that *NSYNC confirmed “Better Place” was coming soon, Timberlake also shared a heartfelt video of the group back in the studio again on Instagram.
In the caption, the “SexyBack” artist wrote, “When the stars align … got my brothers back together in the studio to work on something fun and the energy was special. Better Place is coming 9/29 🙏🏻 LOVE Y’ALL.”

Trolls Band Together, the third entry in the Trolls franchise, sees Timberlake’s Branch and Anna Kendrick‘s Poppy as an official couple.
Poppy also discovers Branch used to be in a boy band called BroZone with his four brothers: Floyd (Troye Sivan), John Dory (Eric André), Spruce (Daveed Diggs) and Clay (Kid Cudi). The group — and their family — split up when Branch was a baby, and he hasn’t seen his siblings since.
But, according to a synopsis, “When Branch’s bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop-star villains” named Velvet (Amy Schumer) and Veneer (Andrew Rannells), “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.”
The voice cast also includes Camila Cabello, Zosia Mamet, Zooey Deschanel, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, RuPaul Charles, Aino Jawo, Caroline Hjelt, Kenan Thompson, Anderson .Paak, Kunal Nayyar and Ron Funches.
Trolls Band Together rocks into theaters Nov. 17.
