Music Video
It was directed by Herb Ritts and filmed in August 2001, but wasn't released until late October because of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The video is in black and white throughout, and has shots similar to Charlie Chaplin-esque footage. The video is a mixture of flashbacks of Justin Timberlake's video girlfriend and his world currently, all filmed in an apartment. The video shows flashbacks of his girlfriend's birthday party, and random parts in their apartment where emotional moments taken place. The video was a hit, becoming *NSYNC's 8th number 1 video for TRL and MuchMusic. This video and their other music video "Pop" even got spins on BET's 106 and Park. The video was the only all-white band to ever get rotation on the show. The Video debut on TRL September 27, 2001. The music video was nominated for video of the year at the 2002 Video Music Awards, but it lost to "Without Me" by Eminem. MadTV spoofed the video on November 24, 2001 with "John", about trying to find the toilet after eating too much Taco Bell. The music and look of the video are strikingly close to the original.
