    “It was pretty emotional, the first time we all got in the studio together,” *NSync’s Lance Bass recently told Entertainment Tonight of the “Better Place” recording session.

     


    Bass continued, “But there was there was a lot of tears. It was just tears of joy. And it was just a beautiful moment. Like, time does so much and for us to finally be together, it just feels right.”
