nsync meme i want it that way tell me why

He may well have a point.Īnd while the likes of It’s Gonna Be Me and I Want You Back truly hit the spot, of all of Martin’s superb NSync output we’re plumping for this underappreciated (but solid gold classic) that was criminally omitted from NSync’s smash US breakthrough album No Strings Attached. Well, turns out it’s all because Max Martin said ‘I Want It That Way,’ with both Timberlake and bandmate Lance Bass both stating in interviews that Martin told them to sing ‘me’ as ‘may’ simply “because it sounded better”. Britney herself performs a perfect “no-one else but may” on her excellent Overprotected (also on our list) and never forget the greatest offender - Backstreet Boys It’s Gotta Be You, which opens with a mispronunciation blitzkrieg of “bay-bay, it’s the way you may-ke may, kinda get me go cray-zay”.… Ouch. So, what is it with Max Martin and the pronunciation of ‘me’ as ‘may’? And don’t go thinking it’s just a Justin Timberlake thing.
