Bye Bye Bye/I Want It That Way by 'N Sync/Backstreet Boys is a mash-up featured in Feud, the sixteenth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Finn and Will, with the New Directions Boys singing back-up.
Given the assignment by Artie, Blaine, and Tina, Finn and Will perform the song in hopes of resolving their feud that started after Will found out that Finn kissed his bride-to-be, Emma Pillsbury. Picking out the songs by two popular American boy bands that had a history of feuding, the two teachers of New Directions perform with the New Directions Boys backing up. Will begins on marionette lines with Blaine and Jake as they sing Bye Bye Bye, getting the New Directions Girls all excited. In between scenes of their performance, Finn and Will can be seen hitting and fighting each other onstage. Finn then takes to the stage with Artie, Ryder, and Sam with I Want It That Way, the four performing boy-band moves. The two continue to feud on the stage. At the end of the performance though, the girls seem to applaud them with Sam saying the love between the two is obvious and they should hug it out. Finn agrees, but Will says he wants to, but he can't. Finn then says it's fine, because he can't change Will's mind no matter how much he says or does. He thanks Will for everything and leaves the stage, leaving Will teary-eyed about what happened.

Will:
Hey, Hey
New Directions Boys:
Bye, Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye
Oh, Oh
Will (with New Directions Boys):
I'm doin' this tonight,
(You're) probably gonna start a fight.
(I) know this can't be right.
Hey baby come on
(I) loved you endlessly,
(When) you weren't there for me.
(So) now it's time to leave and make it alone
Will with New Directions Boys:
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye
Finn (with New Directions Boys):
You are my (fire)
The one (desire)
Believe (when I say)
Finn with New Directions Boys:
I want it that way
New Directions Boys:
Bye Bye
Will with New Directions Boys:
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
Will:
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
New Directions Boys:
Bye Bye
Will with New Directions Boys:
Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
Will:
It might sound crazy
Will with New Directions Boys:
But it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye
Will:
Tell me why
Finn:
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Will:
Tell me why
Finn:
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Finn and Will:
Tell me why
Finn:
I never wanna hear you say
Finn and Will:
I want it that way
Finn:
You are my fire
The one desire
You are
New Directions Boys:
You Are...
You Are...
You Are
Will:
Don't wanna hear you say
Finn with New Directions Boys:
Ain't nothing but a heartache (Will: Bye bye bye)
Ain't nothin' (Will: Make it tough)
But it ain't no lie (Will: Bye bye)
Bye bye (Will: Baby)
Will with New Directions Boys:
Don't wanna be a fool for you (Finn: You are my fire)
Just another player in your game for two (Finn: Tell me why)

You may hate me but it ain't no lie (Finn: I want it that way)
Baby, bye, bye, bye
New Directions Boys:
Bye Bye
Will with New Directions Boys:
Don't really wanna make it tough (Finn: My one desire)
I just wanna tell you that I had enough (Finn: Tell me why)

It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie (Finn: I want it that way)
Baby bye, bye, bye
Finn with New Directions Boys:
Bye bye...
