Brace Yourselves... It’s Gonna Be May

Every year, like clockwork, as soon as the calendar hits late April, something magical happens.

No, we're not talking about the flowers blooming, or the allergy season kicking into high gear, or even the final stretch of tax refunds trickling in. We’re talking about that meme. The one. The only. The JT special.

Ladies and gentlemen: “It’s Gonna Be May.”

![insert dramatic music here]

Yes, every spring, Justin Timberlake’s slightly aggressive pronunciation of the word “me” in NSYNC’s 2000 smash hit “It’s Gonna Be Me” transforms him from pop icon to full-on seasonal prophecy.

The meme in question? Oh, just a smirking JT—circa frosted tips and denim everything—under the poetic declaration:

“Roses are red. April is grey. But in a few weeks…”

Then boom: the face. The hair. The smile that knows exactly what’s coming. The only thing missing is a caption that screams “MAYYYYYY.”

It’s become a cultural staple. A rite of passage. A digital groundhog announcing that yes, we’ve survived the cold months and the soggy April blues. And now? We’re barrelling headfirst into BBQ season, rooftop parties, and “Song of the Summer” debates.

Here at WLIT.FM, Long Island’s favorite party station, we take our memes (and our music) very seriously. That’s why every year, as May approaches, our DJs lovingly dust off their NSYNC playlists, prep the glitter graphics, and mentally prepare for the inevitable onslaught of DMs that just say: “you know what time it is.”

Spoiler: We do. We always do.

So consider this your official warning. Your meme weather forecast. Your boy band bulletin:

It’s not just going to be May...

IT’S GONNA BE MAYYYYYY.

Stay tuned, stay dancing, and stay meme-ready.
