No one is crying at this BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge cover.

Scottish electronic band Chrvches took to the studio to pay tribute to everyone’s favorite grown-up mouseketeer and NSYNC member, Justin Timberlake. While “Cry Me A River,” Timberlake’s thinly veiled musical message to ex Britney Spears, rocked the charts in 2002, this Chrvches take brings it straight to the modern musical moment.

“Yes, electro-Timberlake,” exclaims Live Lounge host Fearne Cotton at the end of the clip. We couldn’t agree more.
