Justin ~ It's always hard to know where to start when I sit down to put my "thank yous" on paper. There are so many people who have helped me along the way. Well, I'll start by thanking my savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with a little something that I can show to the whole world, and for showing me the way to do that. My parents for loving me (even when its hard!) And for being so supportive of me. My grandparents for giving me everything (I mean everything) right down to their hearts. Thanx to all my other family members for supporting me. My friends back home especially Trace, Jimmy, Chrissy, Amber, April, and the rest of y'all crazy folk. The MMC crew for a couple of fun years and great experience. All the writers and producers who helped create the album. Veit, Jolyon, Gary, Sturken & Rodgers, D. Pop, M. Martin, K. Lundin, and Full Force. Robin "Wiley Coyote" for guidance and inspiration. Mark, Bob for keeping my voice in good shape! I also want to thank Transcon Studios, Transcon Records, particularly Doug ("Dirty D."), Jimbo (what the deally yo), and Kari (Betty Rubble) for always helping 'N SYNC out. Shout Outs to all the Transcon artists (even the non-sensible ones). Thanks to all of BMG Ariola (Jan, Andreas, Susie, etc.) for the fantastic first year in Europe, RCA for takin' a chance on us like Bob Jamieson, Vince, Cliff, Kaja, and all the rest. Also: Robert, Mark, Ivan-thanks 4 the moves! Chuck, Brenda, Tony for helping me out with school, even the boring classes (like typing!). Miss Earnest for making life that much more interesting, thanks for the brain teasers & sprees! Special thanx to L.J.P. (Papa Bear) because you were the first one to believe in 'N SYNC. Also J. Wright for giving us so many opportunities to further ourselves (within reason ha!ha!). Shout outs to the families of the other guys in the group because we wouldn't be anywhere without you guys' support. I really want to say hello to my lil' buddy-my brother Jonathan, back at home who stole my heart...wazzup lil' bro! And my angel in heaven my sister Laura Katherine. Wuzzup to Dante Poo Poo! A special shout out to my Huckleberry Finn, and also to Lance, Chris, JC and Joey-let's keep it goin' y'all. Thank you to all the media who have supported us. To all our fans who have stayed with us while we were in Europe, and all of you who have joined us this year - thanx and stay 'N Sync. if there is anyone I forgot to put down on this paper...I apologize, but if you aren't on this paper, it doesn't mean you're not in my heart. Peace y'all!

J.C. ~ When music was introduced to me for the first time, I fell in love immediately. Thanks to a great many people. My love for it grows stronger everyday. The beauty of music is that everyone hears it their own way and every song you hear leaves an impression on you that alters the way you hear everything from that point on. I've had many great influences along the way and now is my chance to thank them. First I'd like to thank God for showing me and leading me down a path as beautiful as music. I'd like to thank my family and friends for helping me along the way. I'd like to thank Kim, Kim R, Robin, and Kacy for putting me on stage for the first time. I'll never forget you. I'd like to thank Tony, Dale, and Mike E. for bringing the funk out. I'd like to give a special thanks to Robin Wiley the coolest "chic singer" in the world for believing in me and showing me the true genius and beauty behind music. Kari Bear you rule!! I'd also like to give a special thanks to Lou "Papa Bear" and Johnny for giving me the opportunity to have an opportunity. Shout outs and much love to "Peaches" and the MMC crew. But finally I'd like to give thanks to all the producers like Veit, Toni C, Gary, Max, Dennis, Full Force, Sturken & Rodgers, and Kristian for the jams. Thanks to BMG Ariola Munchen for the love and support. Jan thanks so much. Last but not least I want to send a special thanks to Vince, Bob, Cliff and the whole RCA family for bringing us home to the U.S of A. We love you guys! There's still a million people I could thank but there could never be enough room, so if your name is missing, know that you're still loved. Later dayz and God bless.
