While still a member of NSYNC, Chasez appeared on the remix and album versions of the 1999 single "[[Bring It All to Me]]" by the girl group [[Blaque]], though his vocals were credited to NSYNC as a whole. During the band's time Chasez became involved with songwriting and production for his group and other artists, including [[Wild Orchid (group)|Wild Orchid]].<ref name=Flick>{{Cite magazine|last=Flick|first=Larry|date=2000-05-27|title=RCA Trio Wild Orchid's On 'Fire' With Help from 'N Sync's Chasez|volume=112|page=16|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|issue=22|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WQ8EAAAAMBAJ&dq=Wild+Orchid&pg=PA16}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2013-08-20|title=OK!

During NSYNC's hiatus, Chasez continued to work as a songwriter and producer. Producer [[Dallas Austin]] asked Chasez to record the song "[[Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)]]" for the ''[[Drumline (film)|Drumline]]'' soundtrack, which was later released as a single.<ref name="Strauss">{{Cite news |last=Strauss |first=Neil |date=2003-12-17 |title=THE POP LIFE; Not Just Girl Songs With a Cute Face |language=en-US |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/17/arts/the-pop-life-not-just-girl-songs-with-a-cute-face.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150527233528/https://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/17/arts/the-pop-life-not-just-girl-songs-with-a-cute-face.html |archive-date=May 27, 2015 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Chasez subsequently began work on a solo album with [[Jive Records]], with tracks written and produced by Austin, [[Basement Jaxx]], Robb Boldt and Riprock 'n' Alex G as well as Chasez.<ref name=EW2003>{{Cite magazine|last=Hiatt|first=Brian|date=2003-04-30|title=A new 'N Sync album?
