"Gone" is the second single from 'N Sync's third studio album, Celebrity. The single debuted on the band's 2001 Pop Odyssey World Tour, during the summer of 2001. The commercial release of the single didn't occur until Summer 2001. In 2002, Bachata group, Aventura covered the song on their album, We Broke the Rules. The song was nominated at the 44th Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, but the track lost to U2's "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of". In April 2002, a remix of the track, entitled the "Gone Clubbin I'll Be Back Late Mix", appeared as a double A-side with The Neptunes Remix of Girlfriend in several countries, however, was released as a solo single in both Europe and Australia.

Directed by Herb Ritts and filmed in August 2001, the video wasn't released until late September because of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The video is in black and white, and has shots similar to Charlie Chaplin-esque footage. The video is a mixture of flashbacks of Justin Timberlake's video girlfriend and his world currently, all filmed in an apartment. The video shows flashbacks of his girlfriend's birthday party, and random parts in their apartment where emotional moments taken place. The video was a hit, becoming *NSYNC's eighth number 1 video for TRL and MuchMusic. This video and their other music video "Pop" even got spins on BET's 106 & Park, making 'N Sync the only all-white band to ever get rotation on the show. The video debut on TRL was September 27, 2001. The music video was nominated for Video of the Year at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, but it lost to "Without Me" by Eminem. MADtv spoofed the video on November 24, 2001 with "John", about trying to find the toilet after eating too much Taco Bell.

While 'N Sync announced a "temporary hiatus" in spring 2002, the band has not recorded new material since. The group's official website shut down in the summer of 2006, and in 2007, Lance Bass confirmed that the group has "definitely broken up." In March 2010, the group's website was relaunched to keep fans updated on the various members' projects.

Sync or synch may refer to:

In music, a song is a composition for voice or voices, performed by singing. A song may be accompanied by musical instruments, or it may be unaccompanied, as in the case of a cappella songs. The lyrics (words) of songs are typically of a poetic, rhyming nature, though they may be religious verses or free prose.

A song may be for a solo singer, a duet, trio, or larger ensemble involving more voices. Songs with more than one voice to a part are considered choral works. Songs can be broadly divided into many different forms, depending on the criteria used. One division is between "art songs", "pop songs", and "folk songs". Other common methods of classification are by purpose (sacred vs secular), by style (dance, ballad, Lied, etc.), or by time of origin (Renaissance, Contemporary, etc.).

A song is a piece of music for accompanied or unaccompanied voice or voices or, "the act or art of singing," but the term is generally not used for large vocal forms including opera and oratorio. However, the term is, "often found in various figurative and transferred sense (e.g. for the lyrical second subject of a sonata...)." The noun "song" has the same etymological root as the verb "to sing" and the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines the word to mean "that which is sung" or "a musical composition suggestive of song." The OED also defines the word to mean "a poem" or "the musical phrases uttered by some birds, whales, and insects, typically forming a recognizable and repeated sequence and used chiefly for territorial defence or for attracting mates."
