Their self-titled debut album was successfully released to European countries in 1997, and later debuted in the U.S. market with the single "I Want You Back".

NSYNC's first two studio albums were both certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Celebrity(2001) debuted with 1.8 million copies in its first week in the US. Singles such as "Bye Bye Bye", "This I Promise You", "Girlfriend", "Pop" and "It's Gonna Be Me" reached the top 10 in several international charts, with the last being a US Billboard Hot 100 number one. In addition to a host of Grammy Award nominations, NSYNC performed at the World Series, the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games, and sang or recorded with Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Phil Collins, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, Nelly, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Mary J. Blige, country music band Alabama, and Gloria Estefan. The group received eight Grammy Award nominations.

       'NSYNC is the debut studio album by American boy band NSYNC, initially released in Germany on May 26, 1997 by Trans Continental Records and internationally on March 24, 1998 by RCA Records. Following the success of the album's initial release, with singles "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart" reaching the top ten on the Official German Charts, and the album reaching number one on the Offizielle Top 100.

     The album has since sold over 15 million copies worldwide, with the album earning a diamond certification in the US, as well as peaking at number two on the Billboard 200.

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Lying in your arms

So close together

Didn't know just what I had

Now I toss and turn

'Cause I'm without you

 

How I'm missing you so bad

Where was my head?

Where was my heart?

Now, I cry alone in the dark

 

I lie awake

I drive myself crazy

Drive myself crazy

Thinking of you

 

Made a mistake

When I let you go, baby

I drive myself crazy

Wanting you the way that I do

Wanting you the way that I do

Oh, oh

 

I was such a fool, I couldn't see it

Just how good you were to me

(Just how good you were to me)

 

You confessed your love

(You confessed your love)

Undying devotion

I confessed my need to be free

And now I'm left with all this pain

I've only got myself to blame, yeah

 

I lie awake

I drive myself crazy

Drive myself crazy

Thinking of you

 

Made a mistake (oh yeah)

Let you go, baby

I drive myself crazy

Wanting you the way that I do

(Wanting you the way that I do)

 

Why didn't I know it?

How much I loved you, baby

Why couldn't I show it?

If I had only told you

When I had the chance

Oh, I had the chance

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

 

Wanting you the way that I do

I lie awake

I drive myself crazy

I drive myself crazy

Thinking of you

 

Made a mistake (Mistake)

Let you go, baby

I drive myself crazy

Wanting you the way that I do

 

I lie awake

I drive myself crazy (I drive, myself)

Drive myself crazy (crazy, crazy)

Thinking of you (crazy, crazy, yeah)

Made a mistake (made a mistake)

 

Let you go, baby

I drive myself crazy

Wanting you the way that I do

I drive myself crazy

Wanting you the way that I do.
