*NSYNC's Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake hilariously take on yearly 'It's Gonna Be May' meme

It's May 1, so, of course, members of the boy band *NSYNC acknowledged what has now become a time-honored tradition: the "It's Gonna Be May" meme.

As a bit of a refresher, when the group recorded their 2000 No. 1 hit "It's Gonna Be Me," Justin Timberlake pronounced "me" as "may." In the age of the internet, the moment has become a viral and yearly joke.

Timberlake took to TikTok on Tuesday to share a video that starts with a woman asking, "What's a word you pronounced incorrectly one time and it still haunts you till this day?"

Cut to the singer thinking for a second and then saying, "Me."

Lance Bass, meanwhile, posted a video of himself giving his husband, Michael Turchin, a card. When Turchin opens it, he reads, "Roses are red, April is gray, but when you wake up tomorrow..." he stops reading and says, in a horrified tone, "Oh no!"

We then see Bass with a the ramen noodles -- previously in Turchin's bowl -- on his head, mimicing Timberlake's hairstyle in the 2000s, and lip-synching, "It's gonna be May."

"POV: your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday," Bass wrote in the caption. "Happy #itsgonnabemay Day!"

We hope we never have to say "Bye Bye Bye" to this meme.
