Lance Bass is feeling nostalgic about two underrated *NSYNC songs.
While speaking with PEOPLE in an exclusive conversation about his Bath & Body Works partnership, the 46-year-old former boy band member also highlighted *NSYNC tracks that don’t get enough love.
One song that Bass said was “overlooked” is “It Makes Me Ill,” which is track 5 on the band’s No Strings Attached album from 2000.
“That was my favorite from No Strings Attached,” Bass explained. “I definitely fought for that to be a single, but we had other songs. We had some bangers from that album, so it was hard to pick a single.”
“ ‘It Makes Me Ill’ just, to this day, is my favorite non-Christmas song that we’ve done,” he continued, describing it as “great” and “fun.”
Bass added that the song is particularly beloved by men.
“Well, it’s funny because it’s like every guy that likes *NSYNC, I can pretty much tell you 80% of the time they’re like, ‘It Makes Me Ill.’ It’s like the dudes’ favorite song of ours,” the father of two said.
His other choice for underrated *NSYNC song is a holiday track.
“Our acapella ‘O Holy Night,’ I think it’s overlooked,” Bass said of the song from the group’s 1998 album, Home for Christmas.

He added, “It was my favorite recording that we’ve ever done — I’ve done. I love it because it just brings us back to how we started in 1995. Just no music, just our voices, and that’s how we started. That one, I just love.”
