LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Fall Out Boy and Demi Lovato pay tribute to 'N Sync in their "Irresistible" music video.

The Chicago-based band and 23-year-old singer spoof the boy band's famous "It's Gonna Be Me" video by having doll versions of Fall Out Boy come to life, much like in 'N Sync's release.

"[What if] in the same store [as 'N Sync] there was a dollar bin full of toys that no one really wanted that would band together like the misfit, offbrand little outsiders they were," Fall Out Boy wrote. "'Irresistible' is the video for that story, it's about the toys no one wanted to come to life."

Wayne Isham, who directed the "It's Gonna Be Me" video in 2000, also directed the "Irresistible" video. 'N Sync members Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick both make cameos in the new release.

"Irresistible" is the fourth single to debut from Fall Out Boy's sixth studio album, American Beauty/American Psycho, which was released in January 2015. The record debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and also includes the singles "Centuries" and "Uma Thurman."
