No Strings Attached is the second
studio album by American boy band
NSYNC, released on March 21, 2000 by
Jive Records. Looking to distinguish their music from that of their labelmates, its music incorporates
pop and
R&B styles. Prior to the release of the album, NSYNC separated from their management Trans Continental and their label
RCA Records; its title is a play on the idea of independence from corporate control. Contributions to the album's production came from a wide range of producers, including group members
Justin Timberlake and
JC Chasez and new collaborators
Kristian Lundin, Jake Schulze,
Rami Yacoub,
Teddy Riley,
Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs,
Richard Marx,
Veit Renn,
Babyface, and
Guy Roche.
