Holy nostalgia! Six years before Gigi Hadid was even a twinkle in her mother's eye, the Backstreet Boys came out with a song that would take the millennium music scene by storm.

Clad in a skintight black zip-up jumpsuit, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model took the stage to resurrect the 1990s classic as a competitor on Lip Sync Battle against Tyler Posey—you know, Ty from Maid in Manhattan all grown up.

As for Hadid's ensemble, she gave off major Britney Spears "Lucky" vibes with the black mic headset and shiny bodysuit combination. 

In a sneak peek promo for the upcoming battle, the blond beauty dominated the stage until she invited two of the song's original performers Nick Carter and A.J. McLean to join in on the pop fun. Even 24-year-old Posey couldn't contain his excitement at the sight of their enthusiastic arrival. 

This is not the first time the show has flaunted a greatly appreciated dose of pop nostalgia. Previously, Kaley Cuoco took the stage donning an emerald bikini and python to emulate Spears' "I'm a Slave 4 U" while Hayden Panettiere has rocked red lingerie in the spirit of Christina Aguilera's "Lady Marmalade."

It seems like all the show needs now is a Justin Timberlake appearance to top off the iconic lineup—after all, no 90s pop chart nor school dance were ever complete without a NSYNC's 'Tearin' Up My Heart."

The episode will air on Feb. 25. on Spike TV.
