The song went on to become the band’s signature song. The smiles broke out after about 45 seconds, luckily.” “You could imagine they were like, ‘you’ve got to be joking,’ and I said, ‘Nah Nah just wait, listen’. “Within a minute, as soon as we walked in, they knew it was a ‘what’s going on’ moment and I said, ‘Guys, we’ve got this other song,’ and there was eye-rolling,” Elliot said. Surely, they didn’t want to add another song, right? Wrong. It had already taken the band two and a half years to record the then album-in-progress. The singer went to the control room to fiddle around on his guitar and producer Robert Lange walked into the room and said, “What was that you were playing?

'But thank you Max, because now we have the meme of the century.'īut the popularity of the Justin gag accidentally created a whole host of others. 'In my defense, Max Martin made me sing 'me' that way,' Justin said in 2016. In 2016, he tweeted, 'Everybody… It is ACTUALLY GONNA BE MAY! #canyoumemeyourself Probably not, right?'Īlthough Justin was a good sport about being the butt of jokes, he later explained that the mispronunciation wasn't entirely his fault.
