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.
Rock Your Body
Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna rock your body, please stay (dance with me)
You don't have to admit you wanna play (dance with me)
Just let me rock you 'til the break of day (dance with me)
Got time, but I don't mind
Just wanna rock you, girl
I'll have whatever you have
Come on let's give it a whirl
See, I've been watchin' you
And I like the way you move
So go 'head, girl, just do it
That ass shakin' thing you do
So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more
And you all could meet me in the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it's smellin' right
So you pass to the left, then you sail to the right
Don't be so quick to walk away (dance with me)
I wanna rock your body, please stay (dance with me)
You don't have to admit you wanna play (dance with me)
Just let me rock you 'til the break of day (dance with me)
I don't mean no harm
Just wanna rock you, girl
You could move, but be calm
Let's go, let's give it a whirl
See, it appears to me
You like the way I move
I tell you what I'm gon' do
Pull you close and share my groove
So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more
And you all could meet me in the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it's smellin' right
So you pass to the left, then you sail to the right
Don't be so quick to walk away (dance with me)
I wanna rock your body, please stay (dance with me)
You don't have to admit you wanna play (dance with me)
Just let me rock you 'til the break of day (dance with me)
(Talk to me, boy) no disrespect, I don't mean no harm
(Talk to me, boy) but I can't wait to have you in my arms
(Talk to me, boy) hurry up 'cause you're takin' too long
(Talk to me, boy) bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song
So what did you come here for? (I came to dance with you)
When you know that you don't wanna hit the floor (get some romance with you)
Been searchin' for love forevermore (I'll take a chance)
If love is here on the floor, girl
Hey
Dance with me
Yeah
Come on, baby
Don't be so quick to walk away (dance with me)
I wanna rock your body, please stay (dance with me)
You don't have to admit you wanna play (dance with me)
Just let me rock you 'til the break of day (dance with me)
(Talk to me, boy) no disrespect, I don't mean no harm
(Talk to me, boy) I can't wait to have you in my arms
(Talk to me, boy) hurry up 'cause you're takin' too long
(Talk to me, boy) bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song
Don't be so quick to walk away (I was just thinkin' of you)
Don't be so quick to walk away (we could do somethin')
Don't be so quick to walk away (I like the way you look right now)
Don't be so quick to walk away (come over here, baby)
Are you feelin' me?
Let's do somethin'
Let's make a bet
'Cause I-I bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song
The lyrics to Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" are about encouraging someone to dance with him, to let loose and have a good time on the dance floor. Timberlake is asking the person not to quickly walk away and to enjoy the moment with him. He wants to rock her body and asks her to let him do so until "the break of day." The lyrics then shift to Timberlake telling the person to be calm and enjoy the way he moves. He believes the person likes the way he moves and pulls her close to share his groove. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the theme of dancing together until the end of the song.
The song was released in 2003 and became Timberlake's second top-ten hit from his debut album, "Justified." The song features a memorable opening drumbeat and catchy chorus. The music video features Timberlake and his dancers performing in an underground club, and it received a lot of airplay on MTV and other music video channels. The song is still frequently played at clubs and events to encourage people to dance.

on Want You To Know
Sound's a calm, when we become the animals that we're made in the jungle
Why you staying so far away?
Running men is looking on, why
Why don't you come out to play
And get closer to your animal, inside
Baby I act like the gentleman that your mother would love, ooh get to me
Baby you act like a lady, don't have to cover it up, things you wanna show me
Make me remember the reason why I wanted to love, please be slowly
I think you're ready to try, walk a little closer and
Now take me to your jungle, I'm not afraid
And if you're looking for your animal, hop in my cage
Fall in a terror of height, don't talk
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Show me your t-shirt, and sweat your sling
Down and dirty, you're loving me so loud
Play it breeze, but you wild as a strain
Side show in front of the whole crowd
Baby I act like the gentleman that your mother would love, ooh get to me
Baby you act like a lady, don't have to cover it up, things you wanna show me
Make me remember the reason why I wanted to love, please be slowly
I think you're ready to try, walk a little closer and
Now take me to your jungle, I'm not afraid
And if you're looking for your animal, hop in my cage
Fall in a terror of height, don't talk
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Sound's a calm, when we become the animals that we're made in the jungle
Now take me to your jungle, I'm not afraid
And if you're looking for your animal, hop in my cage
Fall in a terror of height, don't talk
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
