A week and a half ahead of the March 15th release date of his highly anticipated new album, Everything I Thought It Was, Timberlake, 43, unveiled the tracklist on Monday. By erecting a billboard in Los Angeles, the pop superstar revealed a whopping 18 tracks appear on the project, including a collaboration with his *NSYNC bandmates.
A massive sign atop The Reef in downtown L.A., which was put up in collaboration with Spotify, lists the titles of the songs on the upcoming record alongside the album artwork.
Both the streaming service and the “Selfish” singer shared a photo of the billboard lit up at night on Instagram.

In addition to the previously announced Tobe Nwigwe collaboration “Sanctified” — which the two performed during the Grammy winner’s January Saturday Night Live appearance — the Nigerian artist Fireboy DML is set to be a special guest on the album, as well as *NSYNC.
Timberlake’s bandmates Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick will all join him on the second to last track on the project, “Paradise.”
A handful of fans took to the comments of the “Cry Me a River” singer’s post featuring the tracklist to share how excited they are to see the former boy band linking back up. “*NSYNC NATION WE MOVEEEEEE,” one fan commented, while another replied, “*NSYNC feature no wayyyy.”
“Paradise ft. *NSYNC?! 🌴🔥,” another added.

The musician/actor previously teased that he and his fellow ‘00s icons were teaming up for a song on his sixth studio album by responding to a fan’s comment on TikTok. At the time, he replied to a fan’s comment on a video of himself holding up Everything I Thought It Was vinyl that said, “Blink twice if *NSYNC is on a song called Paradise.” He seemingly confirmed the collaboration by then posting a video in which he pulled down a pair of sunglasses and blinked twice, before pulling them back up and smiling.
“Paradise” comes several months after the “Bye Bye Bye” group reunited to release their first song together in over two decades, “Better Place,” which appeared on the soundtrack for Trolls: Band Together.
To celebrate the single and the group’s reunion, which coincided with their cameo in the animated feature, they stepped out together at the MTV VMAs and the movie’s red carpet premiere.
Since “Better Place” dropped in September, members of the “It’s Gonna Be Me” band have alluded to other *NSYNC songs being in the works.

Shortly after Timberlake announced his new solo album, he appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show and revealed, “We’ve been in the studio, so there may be a little something in the future, too.”
Everything I Thought It Was marks the “SexyBack” singer’s first full-length album since 2018’s Man of the Woods. He’s since released the lead single “Selfish,” as well as the track “Drown,” and teased a handful of other songs on the record by posting snippets of audio on Instagram.
The “SexyBack” singer opened up in a January interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe about what fans can expect from the upcoming album, calling the tracks “incredibly honest” and “introspective,” as well as some that are “ f—ing fun.”
“I think every artist probably says this, but it is my best work,” Timberlake added.
