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.
Lovestoned/I Think She Knows [
Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's freaky, and she knows it
She's freaky, and I like it
Listen
She grabs the yellow bottle
She likes the way it hits her lips
It sends her on a trip so right
She might be going home with me tonight
She looks like a model
Except she's got a little more ass
Don't even bother
Unless you've got that thing she likes
I hope she's going home with me tonight
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I have to stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
Man, I swear she's bad, and she knows
I think that she knows
She's freaky, and she knows it
She's freaky, but I like it
She shuts the room down
The way she walks and causes a fuss
The baddest in town
She's flawless like some uncut ice
I hope she's going home with me tonight
And all she wants is to dance
That's why you'll find her on the floor
But you don't have a chance
Unless you move the way that she likes
That's why she's going home with me tonight
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I have to stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
Man, I swear she's bad, and she knows
I think that she knows
Those flashing lights seem to cause a glare
The way they hit her I have to stop and stare
She's got me love stoned from everywhere
She's bad, and she knows
I think that she knows
Now dance
Little girl
You're freaky, but I like it
Hot damn!
Let me put my funk on this one time
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I have to stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
Man, I swear she's bad, and she knows
I think that she knows
Those flashing lights seem to cause a glare
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
She's got me love stoned from everywhere
She's bad, and she knows
I think that she knows
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I have to stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
Man, I swear she's bad, and she knows
I think that she knows
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
I think I'm love stoned
She's got me love stoned
I think that she knows, think that she knows, oh, oh
I think that she knows, think that she knows, oh, oh
I think that she knows, think that she knows, oh, oh
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
I'm love stoned from everywhere, and she knows
I think that she knows
Think that she knows, oh, oh
And now I walk around without a care
She's got me hooked, it just ain't fair, but I
I'm love stoned, and I could swear
That she knows
Think that she knows, oh, oh
She knows, she knows, oh, oh
