"It's Gonna Be Me" was the second single from the 2000 'N Sync album No Strings Attached.

Released in mid-2000, the music video for the song begins in a toy department starting out as animated plastic doll version of each group member in a box similar to their album cover. They punch through the plastic. Next they are in a color lit room singing and dancing with the lights changing colors during the song.

The lyrics are addressed to a woman with apparent attachment issues, connected with bad experiences from previous relationships. The singer assures her that "I'm not like them", and that he's prepared to wait for her to overcome her problems. When she is ready to love someone again, he maintains, "It's gonna be me".

The song was the only Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit for 'N Sync.

[edit] Trivia

• Oddly enough, when the song slows down at the bridge, the background music switches over to a harp or solo that sounds like the first movement of the introduction theme in certain games of the "Final Fantasy" series, most notably Final Fantasy IV
