Music Appreciation
A few years ago, I noticed the local radio station playing NSYNC's It's Gonna Be Me on May 1st. At first, I didn't think much of it until memes of Justin Timberlake with the caption "It's Gonna Be May" started popping up leading to the month of May.
It would have been funnier had the song been released in May; however, It's Gonna Be Me was released on June 12, 2000 and it's the second song in NSYNC's second studio album No Strings Attached.
The song was written by Andreas Carlsson, Max Martin, and Rami Yacoub. The lyrics describe a man who is determined to win over his lover's heart, promising to be there for her no matter what.
It debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 42, where it eventually peaked at number one for two consecutive weeks. It quickly became a fan favorite and earned the group a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
The music video was directed by Wayne Isham, who is best known for popular music videos such as Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer, Motley Crue's Girls, Girls, Girls, Metallica's Enter Sandman and so many more. The music video production was complex featuring the group portraying dolls that come to life performing intricate dance routines throughout the store.
With that... Happy "It's Gonna Be May" Day.
