In 1999, Max Martin, Andreas Carlsson, and Rami Yacoub resided in Key West, Florida, to write another single after NSYNC finished recording " Bye Bye Bye" (2000). "It's Gonna Be Me" was popularized as an Internet meme titled "It's Gonna Be May", after a Tumblr image of NSYNC member Justin Timberlake was posted in 2012 with the respective caption, which gained the attention of Barack Obama and Timberlake himself. NSYNC performed the song at the 2000 MTV Movie Awards and 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, and in three headlining concerts. "It's Gonna Be Me" also peaked at number one in Canada, and charted in the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, New Zealand, and Sweden.Īn accompanying music video was directed by Wayne Isham, and depicts each NSYNC member as a doll inside a toy store attempting to be bought by a female customer. The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) one month after its retail release. It was the only NSYNC song to peak at the number one position on the Hot 100. "It's Gonna Be Me" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 42, where it eventually peaked at number one for two consecutive weeks. The pop track was inspired by Joe Jackson's " Steppin' Out" (1982) and Rupert Holmes' " Him" (1980), while the lyrics are about a man attempting to persuade a woman to start a new relationship together as she recovers from a previous breakup. The song was written by Max Martin, Andreas Carlsson, and Rami Yacoub, and produced by the latter. It was released through Jive Records, as the second single from their second studio album No Strings Attached (2000) in the United States, and as the third single from the international edition of No Strings Attached.
