The members' surprise appearance stunned many of their beloved fans as they were met with screams from the crowd. Fatone spoke about the experience at the '90s Con in Florida, saying:

"[...] It was surreal in the sense of we kind of just stepped back from each other. [...] We fell into place."

Following their reunion on stage at the music awards, *NSYNC has shared several posts on social media celebrating their reunion. They released their first new song after over twenty years, called "Better Place," on September 29, 2023.

The song, which the group started teasing in August 2023, serves as the soundtrack for the upcoming film, "Trolls Band Together." It features a disco-pop beat, and every member gets to have their moment as Timberlake carries the chorus.

The "SexyBack" hitmaker shared a clip of the band announcing the release of their new song on Instagram, and he captioned the post, "BETTER PLACE IS OUT! WE HOPE YOU LIKE IT."

Timberlake teased a band reunion in September, sharing a video of the group in the elevator laughing together while dressed to the nines in multi-colored suits. The songwriter penned that it was only five gentlemen in an elevator.
