That's When I'll Stop Loving You
"That's When I'll Stop Loving You" is a song by NSYNC from their 2000 album No Strings Attached, written by Diane Warren and produced by Guy Roche.[1]
Production
Warren wrote the track “That’s When I’ll Stop Loving You”, having previously penned “Music of My Heart" (1999) for the film of the same name, which was a collaboration between NSYNC and Gloria Estefan. Warren was in the studio for both recording sessions.[2][3]
The group recorded the song around one microphone, recording vocals and harmonies live, aiming to emulate the 60's[4]
The song was the first recorded for the album, being completed by March 1999.[5]
Critical reception
EW felt it was a rare occasion when NSYNC slipped into Backstreet Boy’s ballad territory.[6] The Baltimore Sun compared it to the work of Boyz II Men.[7] Stereogum felt that on the track was outshined by another ballad on the album, I Thought She Knew.[8] Daily Cougar felt it was the only ballad on the album that wasn't weak.[9] VH1 thought the song's moral was "Everyone — guy or girl — wants a superhero every now and then."[10]
