Born and raised in Tennessee, as a child he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. Timberlake won two Grammy Awards for his R&B-focused debut solo album Justified (2002) and its single "Cry Me a River". Another single from the album, "Rock Your Body", was also successful.
His critically acclaimed second album FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), characterized by its diversity in music genres, debuted atop the U.S. Billboard 200 and spawned the Hot 100 consecutive number-one singles with "SexyBack", "My Love" and "What Goes Around... Comes Around". Established as a solo artist worldwide, his first two albums both exceeded sales of 10 million copies, as he continued producing records and collaborating with other artists.
From 2008 through 2012, Timberlake focused on his acting career, effectively putting his music career on hiatus. He held starring roles in the films The Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits, and In Time.
Timberlake resumed his music career in 2013 with his third and fourth albums The 20/20 Experience and The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2, exploring neo soul styles, partly inspired by the expansive song structures of 1960s and 1970s rock. The former became the best-selling album of the year and spawned the top three singles "Suit & Tie" and "Mirrors". Timberlake voiced Branch in DreamWorks Animation's Trolls (2016), whose soundtrack includes his fifth Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping single, "Can't Stop the Feeling!", which earned him an Academy Award nomination. His fifth studio album Man of the Woods (2018) became his fourth number-one album in the US. Supported by the two top ten singles, "Filthy" and "Say Something", it concluded 2018 as the sixth best-selling album of the year.
My Love
T.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life 全てが君でいっぱいさ
偶然の重力にも逆らう運命を知った
ほら 見つめ合う度に
Your eyes そこに映ってる my eyes
話さなくても君を感じているよ my love
So you are my destiny
すれ違う人 その中で
ドラマチックな場面を描き続けた
なんだかセンチだよね
決められている 物語の1ページのように君が
用意する間もなく僕の手を引いた
気付かないまま君に吸い込まれて
かけがえのない瞬間を繋いでいく
その願いのひとつも残さず叶えてあげたいと
ただそう思った
My love 出逢えた時から
My life 全てが君でいっぱいさ
偶然の重力にも逆らう運命を知った
ほら 見つめ合う度に
Your eyes そこに映ってる my eyes
話さなくても君を感じているよ my love
胸に寄り添う優しさを
ありのままで受け止めたい
不器用なのさ 君を愛するほど
形のない感情が重なり
確かな想いのカケラを繋いでいく
ありきたりなセリフじゃ予想通りと笑う君を
ずっと抱きしめたい
たった一度の未来に
今始まりを告げたのさ
どんな悲しみも壊せる運命を知った
ほら 分かち合う度に
Your heart そこに咲いていく my heart
話さなくても君を感じているよ my love
何度も循環する時計の針を止めて
いつまでも君のそばで笑っていたい
My love 出逢えた時から
My life 全てが君でいっぱいさ
偶然の重力にも逆らう運命を知った
ほら 見つめ合う度に
Your eyes そこに映ってる my eyes
話さなくても君を感じているよ my love
So you are my destiny
