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.
Morning Light
Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I open up my eyes
And I say to myself, "In the whole wide world of guys
I must be the luckiest alive"
Because I'm in love with you
Laying here, in the morning light
And all I want to do is hold you tight, just one more night
Look, I can't even get out of bed
With the thought you putting in my head
So I say to myself, "I don't even want to try"
Here, every part of me is paralyzed
'Cause I'm in love with you
Laying here in the morning light
And all I want to do, is hold you tight just one more night
Yes I'm in love with you
Laying here in the morning light
And all I want to do is hold you tight, just one more night
I know I got somewhere to go
But I'm thinking we should lay here in love (lay here in love)
Ooh, 'cause baby, it's no lie
Ooh, I could watch you 'til the day I die
'Cause I'm in love with you
Laying here in the morning light
And all I want to do is hold you tight just one more night
Yes, I'm in love with you
Laying here in the morning light
And all I want to do
Is hold you tight, just one more, one more night
The lyrics of Justin Timberlake's and Alicia Keys' song Morning Light depict the overwhelming feeling of love and affection for someone special. The song is all about adoring and appreciating your significant other and cherishing the time spent together. Right from the opening line "Look, every time there's a new sunrise, I open up my eyes", the singer expresses his feelings of gratitude and joy for waking up next to his loved one. The lyrics suggest how the singer feels extremely lucky to have found such a person to share his life with and how he appreciates the beauty of the morning light with his lover by his side.
The phrase "Laying here, in the morning light" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the intimacy of the moment and the feeling of being utterly content in each other's company. The lyrics also suggest a reluctance to leave the bed and go anywhere else, even if there are prior commitments or work to be done. The singer wishes to stay in bed next to his lover and revel in the moment forever. The song's lines – "I know I got somewhere to go, but I'm thinking we should lay here in love" – portray the dilemma between responsibilities and love. Ultimately, the song reflects the beauty of being in love and the idea that even a small and intimate moment can become a cherished and unforgettable memory.

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
