It’s not gonna be May\u2014it is <\/em>May!<\/p>\n

While many of us are inside practicing social distancing and losing track of what day it is amid the coronavirus pandemic, a familiar meme has been popping up to remind us of the upcoming month\u2014and that is, of course, the Justin Timberlake<\/a><\/strong> “It’s gonna be May” meme<\/a>. <\/p>\n

As fans well know, the meme is a play on how the singer pronounced “me” on NSYNC<\/strong>‘s hit track, “It’s Gonna Be Me.” On the first day of May on Friday, alum Lance Bass<\/a><\/strong> reminisced about how the meme came to fruition. <\/p>\n

“Who knew it would become a national holiday this many years later?” he quipped on Good Morning America <\/em>via video. “But it’s thanks to a fan Kianna\u2014she’s the one who created it back in 2012, that meme, and it just blew up.”<\/p>\n

It’s such a pop culture staple that Spotify features the track with both titles, “It’s Gonna Be Me” and “It’s Gonna Be May.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While we usher in a new month with help from the boy band crooners’ beloved tune, being apart in quarantine has actually strengthened their bond. <\/p>\n

“We’ve all discovered zoom\u2014this is a new zoom world,” Bass said. “[We] like to have cocktail parties and really kind of catch up with each other.”<\/p>\n

Bass previously revealed<\/a> on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen<\/em> <\/strong>that the bandmates have been getting together every week for Zoom happy hours. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
