This NSync deep cut vaguely sounds like it samples Baby One More Time... Am I going insane?

[fill the crown]

 

I can hear the first 3 piano notes from Baby at 0:54 and also various parts throughout the instrumentals as the song progresses.. I know many will perhaps tell me that these 3 notes could be common but I thought it was a cute detail that reminds me a lot of Baby

 

I thought they were really cute together too until someone had to be selfish about the whole music business thing. I'm also surprised that she never collaborated with them on a track and that Backstreet was her first ever band collab.

With recent news of a new nsync recording in the works, I'm also curious about your thoughts. I've always thought Britney and their music + iconography helped define a very specific moment in popular culture, and this marks their first musical venture together like 2 decades after their split... maybe it's kind of a similar reason for us to stay optimistic and supportive of Britney during this period of much needed hiatus.

 

well mamas whats the verdict... & much love

It sounds more like Crazy than BOMT to me. 

[sochaotic]

Oh I totally hear it! The producer probably just threw that in as a lil Easter egg hehehe

[NotBuyingIt]

I was expecting this to be BS, but I actually do hear it!

[Danielle1987]

Nice find! A nice treat for us elder millennials

This era of music was so special but nowadays it seems like such a distant memory. Thanks for sharing.

There are a few songs on their 'Celebrity' album which I love.

One of them is 'That girl will never be mine'.

[Y2Gay jordeezy]

Max Martin sampling himself is typical Max Martin. I also hear BSB in there 

[Frankie8]

Britney, nsync, and backstreet, all share the same instrumentations because they are all from Max Martin, so listen to any one of their songs and you can hear the same instrumentations on another artist song.

Oh yeah I can totally hear it. 

 

I think its just because they were both made by Max Martin.

Heck alot of NSYNC, BSB and Britney's work were produced by him.

Agree!
I miss the 90s and early 2000s so much!

I'd give ANYTHING to go back!

According to online sources, that song was actually produced by RipRock n Alex!

The 90s/early 00s were a special time!

[bitbitboi]

The song was produced by the amazing Riprock 'n' Alex G, they loved those "jerky" sounds, or repeating notes.

Definitely!
It was the last great era of music in my opinion.

Nothing else has topped it since. 

[DanjaMouse]

Typical Oops…! era Max Martin

[YeezusChrist]

No Strings Attached is such a classic album. Listenable from start to finish.

Love that era. A musically superior one!

I’d also say the 2010s were great for music too.

True.

Yeah I do like the 2010s but for some reason I only like it up until 2016.

For some reason,

Mainstream music fell off the deep end.

But the 2020s has not been a great decade for music at least in my opinion.

There is very few modern music and singers I actually like nowadays.

2016-2019 were phenomenal years for hip-hop, rap, trap, urbano latin, indie and tropical house though!!! I’d even argue and say that 2019 was one of the best years of music in the 2010s. Music is always going to have ups and downs. You just have to find artists you vibe with. Right now, it’s all about latin, edm and afrobeats.

Yeah well I guess I’m mainly a pop girl so that makes sense why I didn’t like it as much.

I did like some other songs from those years in different genres.

The early to mid 2010s will always be nostalgic cause those were the times of my late teen years and early 20s.
