Timberlake’s Viral Meme ‘It’s Gonna Be May’ Gets Even More Special

The viral ‘Its Gonna Be May’ meme was made even more special when NSYNC received their Walk of Fame star on 30 April

Of all the dates that hold an important significance in pop-culture, 30 April perhaps is the most important. Every year, this day marks the historic ‘It’s Gonna Be May’ day.

It all started with the 2000 pop hit single “It’s Gonna Be Me”, performed by renowned American boy band *NSYNC. In the chorus of the song, erstwhile band member and lead vocalist Justin Timberlake is seen mouthing ‘It’s Gonna Be May’ instead of ‘It’s Gonna Be Me’. That did it.

Ever since the iconic moment, internet junkies and pop-culture nerds celebrate 30 April as the viral #ItsGonnaBeMay day, as it is followed by the beginning of the month of May.
