* PeoplePuppets: ''No Strings Attached'''s visuals used this motif with the album art. The "Bye Bye Bye" music video shows the band members with ropes attached to their limbs while they are manipulated from above like puppets. Basically it symbolizes how manipulative the PsychoExGirlfriend is, who just wants to toy with them.

''No Strings Attached'' is the third studio album[[note]]the third chronologically if we are counting the first self-titled album and the [[ChristmasSongs Christmas album]] ''Home For Christmas''[[/note]] by pop BoyBand Music/{{NSYNC}} on March 21, 2000.

The album would be released after several delays due to the group's ongoing legal battles with former manager Lou Pearlman, accusing him of fraud and swindling them of their earnings. They would eventually reach a settlement that allowed *NSYNC to sever their ties with Pearlman's management company and Creator/RCARecords, and join Creator/JiveRecords. During the legal wrangling, *NSYNC member Music/ChrisKirkpatrick came up with the name of the album, referencing them finally breaking free from Pearlman's control. The album's visuals would take this further and use a puppetry motif, representing *NSYNC finally achieving independence as well as a tongue-in-cheek nod to the criticism that they were manufactured, corporate-controlled marionettes.

* ACappella: The track "I Thought She Knew" is entirely A Cappella.
* DarkerAndEdgier: *NSYNC worked with the same producers/songwriters as the Music/BackstreetBoys on ''No Strings Attached'', and they asked for a harder edge to their sound to differentiate themselves from the group.
* GenreShift: Slight, this album would mark the start of *NSYNC starting to incorporate RAndB into their music, a trend that would continue with their fourth studio album ''Celebrity'', and Music/JustinTimberlake would almost completely shift to ContemporaryRAndB for his solo work.
