[edit] Music video
The video, directed by Wayne Isham, features 'N Sync as puppets controlled by an evil puppetress (Kim Smith). She cuts the strings first on Fatone and Kirkpatrick, and they run across a speeding train to escape her. She cuts Timberlake loose next, and he out-runs her trained dogs. Then Bass and Chasez are cut loose into a sports car and must speed away from her. All this is interspersed with shots of the band in a rotating, zero-gravity box.
The video premiered on MTV's "Making the Video" and features the same actress as appears in "It's Gonna Be Me".
The video was #60 on MuchMusic's 100 Best Videos.
It holds the record for longest streak of being #1 on TRL with 25 straight days at the top spot.
