It’s the first time they have all sung together in front of an audience since 2013 when Justin picked up the Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Fans went wild when they came on stage as they also sang old hits Bye, Bye, Bye and It’s Gonna Be Me – after months of speculation that they would be working together again.
Paradise will appear on Justin’s new album and marks the second single the group have recorded in recent years.
Last year they reunited to record their single Better Place for the film Trolls Band Together.

Prior to that the group hadn’t released a song together since 2001’s Girlfriend.
NSYNC achieved worldwide success with their hits Bye, Bye, Bye, It’s Gonna Be Me, Pop, Gone, Tearin’ Up My Heart, and more.
They broke up in 2002, and all went their separate ways.
Justin spawned a very successful solo career, with four number one albums, with songs including Rock Your Body and Cry Me A River.
Although the other guys released music here and there, it did not reach Justin’s level of fame.
After breaking up, NSYNC did reunite a few times.
In 2019 the group joined Ariana Grande on stage during her headline performance at Coachella, but Justin was unable to make it as he was on his own tour.
Asked in 2021 about the prospect of an NSYNC reunion, while promoting his movie Palmer, Justin said: “I don’t have a crystal ball for what will happen with the music industry in the months, or years, to come.
“That’s something that weighs on my mind in a heavy way.
“We will have to see what happens in terms of live music and I appreciate the question, but my focus right now is on Palmer.”
