For most NSYNC fans, every song from their self-titled debut album is simply amazing. But it appears that the members of the iconic boy band don’t share that opinion.
In a recent chat with PEOPLE magazine, NSYNC’s Joey Fatone and Lance Bass talked about their first studio effort and revealed that there were three tracks they and the rest of their bandmates: Chris Kirkpatrick, Justin Timberlake, and JC Chasez, were not too crazy about.
According to Fatone and Bass, songs “Riddle,” “Here We Go,” and “I Need Love” were influenced by the European ’90s dance music, which NSYNC members felt wasn’t a good fit for their style.
“Those ones were a little err…The rest we love. It wasn’t our style. We weren’t a techno group,” Bass shared.
“We tried to do our song kind of stuff in our vibe, but they wanted to do a little bit more dance. So there were three songs that we did that were more European,” Fatone added.
Despite those three songs, NSYNC’s debut record was a smashing success. It reached No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 while selling 15 million copies worldwide and launching the boy bend into stardom.
NSYNC reunited back in September to release a new song, “Better Place,” which was part of the soundtrack for the animated flick Trolls Band Together. At the time, Fatone said that the group didn’t have any immediate plans to release more new music but left it as a possibility further down the line.
