The video starts with the puppet master, Kim Smith, manipulating the NSYNC members as they are tied to strings. She cuts Chris and Joey loose first, as they run atop a speeding train and hide among the passengers to elude her. She cuts Justin loose next, as he outruns her trained dogs inside a warehouse and escapes into the pouring rain. JC and Lance are finally cut loose, as they fall into a red Dodge Viper RT/10. When the music pauses, JC cleans the disc and reinserts it before continuing. They flee from her, as she pursues them in a silver BMW Z3. They eventually make a sudden u-turn when a truck blocks them, forcing the puppet master to brake more slowly and spend more time performing a u-turn, allowing the two to flee in the opposite direction. All the scenes are interspersed with shots of the band dancing in a rotating blue gimbal with a fixed camera, creating the illusion that they are on different gravity planes. The video edit of the song also briefly pauses the music when Justin lands in the warehouse, when JC and Lance land into the car to insert a CD, and the u-turn near the video's end. The final chorus is also extended twice; the first showcases the band inside the box, while the second highlights JC and Lance fleeing from the puppet master.
Bye Bye Bye" is a song by American boy band NSYNC from their third studio album, No Strings Attached. It was released on January 17, 2000, as the lead single from the album. The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze, with additional writing by Andreas Carlsson. Its lyrics describe the end of a romantic relationship; it was reported to also reference the group's separation from their manager Lou Pearlman and their record label RCA Records.[1] "Bye Bye Bye" was a commercial success, peaking at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and within the top 10 in almost every country in which it charted. The song received a Grammy nomination in 2001 for Record of the Year, but lost to U2's "Beautiful Day". The song resurged in popularity in 2024 after it was featured in the film Deadpool & Wolverine.
Bye, Bye, Bye Bye, Bye... Bye, Bye... Oh, Oh.. I'm doin' this tonight, You're probably gonna start a fight. I know this can't be right. Hey baby come on, I loved you endlessly, When you weren't there for me. So now it's time to leave and make it alone. I know that I can't take no more It ain't no lie I wanna see you out that door Baby, bye, bye, bye... Don't wanna be a fool for you Just another player in your game for two You may hate me but it ain't no lie, Baby, bye, bye, bye... Don't really wanna make it tough, I just wanna tell you that I had enough. It might sound crazy, But it ain't no lie, Baby, bye, bye, bye Just hit me with the truth, Now, girl you're more than welcome to. So give me one good reason, Baby come on I lived for you and me, And now I've really come to see, That life would be much better, Once you're gone. I know that I can't take no more It ain't no lie, I wanna see you out that door Baby, bye, bye, bye... Don't wanna be a fool for you Just another player in your game for two You may hate me but it ain't no lie, Baby Bye, bye, bye... Don't really wanna make it tough, I just wanna tell you that I had enough. It might sound crazy, But it ain't no lie, Baby, bye, bye, bye I'm giving up I know for sure I don't wanna be the reason for your love no more Bye Bye I'm checkin' out I'm signin' off I don't wanna be the loser and I've had enough I don't wanna be a fool for you In this game for two So I'm leavin' you behind Bye, bye, bye I don't wanna make it tough But I had enough And it ain't no lie Bye, Bye Don't wanna be a fool for you Just another player in your game for two But it ain't no lie Baby bye, bye, bye... Don't really wanna make it tough, I just wanna tell you that I had enough. Might sound crazy, But it ain't no lie, Bye, bye, bye
