He and his old bandmates Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez all shot to stardom together in the 1990s.
In 2004, they had a temporary hiatus that ended in an indefinite breakup, but they remained personal friends with each other.
Last year they sent their fans into a frenzy when they reunited for the song Better Place in the animated film Trolls Band Together.
During his appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Justin teased the audience about a possible ‘N Sync reunion.
“Yes, we’ve been in the studio, so something might happen in the future,” he said, drawing rapturous applause from the studio audience.
According to TMZ, RCA Records executives noted that when and if there is a future ‘N Sync comeback, both Justin and JC will sing lead – and not just Justin.
Better Place came seven years after Justin had a solo worldwide mega hit with the song Can’t Stop The Feeling! for the original Trolls movie.

Can’t stop the feeling! became the best-selling song of the year in his native America and earned Justin, who co-wrote it, an Oscar nomination for best original song.
Years later, Justin returned to perform a song for the same franchise and reunited his old NSYNC friends, resulting in Better Place.
Justin is currently releasing his new album Everything I Thought It Was – his first since his 2018 album Man Of The Woods.
The pop hunk released the first two singles from the new album last week, starting with a sonorous romantic ballad titled Selfish.
Selfish shares the title with a 2011 song by Justin’s ex Britney Spears, who gave a scathing account of their doomed romance in her memoir last year.
Britney’s devoted fanbase sabotaged Justin’s new song Selfish by sending Britney’s song of the same name to the top of the iTunes charts.

His return to music comes months after his ex Britney Spears released her memoir The Woman In Me, which paints a devastating picture of their relationship.
She also wrote that she became pregnant by Justin in 2000, and although she wanted to keep the baby, he convinced her to have an abortion because he “wasn’t ready to be a father.”
Last weekend, Justin went on Saturday Night Live and performed Selfish – as well as making a live debut with the album’s second single Sanctified.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Justin said that John Lennon’s song Jealous Guy was an influence on his Selfish.
Referring to his own pop ballad, Justin said, “We were talking about the song itself and just wanted to break down the idea that you don’t often hear that from men, that they would express an emotion that makes them vulnerable,” via ABC.
Justin, a child star in the Mickey Mouse Club, added that “growing up the way I grew up, you learned not to do that.”
His return to music comes months after Britney released her memoir The Woman In Me, which presents a blistering portrayal of their relationship.
Among other revelations, she wrote that she became pregnant by Justin in 2000, and although she wanted to keep the baby and “dreamed of having a family,” he talked her into having an abortion because he “wasn’t ready to have a to be a child’. father.’
Desperate to keep the affair secret, Britney underwent an “excruciating” procedure at home that she described in the memoir as “one of the most painful things I have ever experienced in my life.”
