[edit] Music videos
When the song was first released in Europe, a video was issued with it, featuring 'N Sync in a space station. The video features many high-tech effects, while the plot is the boys trying to contact the girl of the song. It includes the same basic dance routine, and a surprise for US viewers—a clean-shaven Fatone. This version was directed by Alan Calzatti.
When released in the US, a new video came out. This one was shot partially in black and white and focused more on introducing the personalities of the members, showing them playing pool and driving together. A small flashback to the plot is made when Chasez sings his verse, and a highlight for fans in this version is the sight of Kirkpatrick dragging Chasez across the room during the pool game.
