Put your Tamagotchi aside. Backstreet's back – and Britney (39) is, too.

It's 2.47 minutes long and will make any 90s kid's heart beat faster than ever.

It's a little bit danceable, a little bit Britney, and a little bit AJ and Nick. Just imagine if this team-up had happened back in the day! How many girls would have hocked their brother's Game Boy for the album without a twinge of guilt?

Almost two decades after her breakup with former NSYNC heartthrob Justin Timberlake (39), Britney has finally changed sides.

She decided to join forces with NSYNC's biggest rivals and invited Backstreet Boys' Brian (45), Kevin (49), Howie (47) Nick (40), and AJ (42) into the studio.
