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.

Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My
If I wrote you a symphony
Just to say how much you mean to me (what would you do?)
If I told you you were beautiful
Would you date me on the regular? (tell me, would you?)
Well, baby, I've been around the world
This ring here represents my heart
But there's just one thing I need from you (saying "I do")
Because I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting in the grass, laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy
See all I want you to do is be my love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love, girl, my love, my love
Now if I wrote you a love note
And made you smile with every word I wrote (what would you do?)
Would that make you wanna change your scene
And wanna be the one on my team? (tell me, would you?)
See what's the point in waiting anymore
'Cause, girl, I've never been more sure (that, baby, it's you)
This ring here represents my heart
And everything that you been waiting for (just saying "I do")
Because I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting in the grass, laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy
See all I want you to do is be my love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love, girl, my love, my love
Aight, it's time to get it, JT
I don't what you hesitatin' for, man
Shawty cool as a fan, on the move once again
But he still has fans from Peru to Japan
Hey, listen, baby, I don't wanna ruin your plan (nah)
But if you got a man, try to lose him if you can
'Cause the girls worldwide throw they hands up high
When you wanna come and kick it with a stand-up guy
You don't really wanna let the chance go by
'Cause you ain't been seen with a man so fly
And, babe, with friends so fly, I can go fly
Private, 'cause I handle my B.I
They call me Candle Guy (why?)
Simply 'cause I am on fire (haha)
I hate to have to cancel my vacation, so you can't deny
I'm patient, but I ain't gon' try (nah)
You don't come, I ain't gon' die
Hold up, what you mean you can't go? Why? (why?)
Me and your boyfriend, we ain't no tie (uh-huh)
You say you wanna kick it when I ain't so high (man)
Baby, it's obvious that I ain't yo guy
I ain't gon' lie, I'll fill your space
And forget your face, I swear I will
St. Barths, Anguilla, anywhere I chill (nice)
Just bring with me any pair, I will
I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting in the grass, laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy
See all I want you to do is be my love (love)
My love (love)
My love (love)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (love)
My love (love)
My love (love)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love, girl, my love, my love
The lyrics of Justin Timberlake's song My Love tell the story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman and wants to make her his. He starts by expressing that there is no other woman who could take her spot in his heart. He then asks her how she would react if he wrote her a symphony or told her she was beautiful. He wants to know if she would date him if he made these gestures. He tells her that he has been around the world, but has not seen another girl like her. He then presents her with a ring, which represents his heart, and asks her to be his love.
The second part of the song contains verses from rapper T.I., who encourages the woman to leave her man and be with Justin. He tries to convince her that Justin is the perfect man for her and that she should not pass up the chance to be with him. The chorus is sung again, followed by a final verse from Justin in which he envisions spending time with his love on the beach and in the countryside. He repeats that he wants her to be his love and that no other woman could take her place.
Overall, the lyrics of My Love are about the power of love and the desire to be with someone who makes your heart race. It is a sweet and romantic song that expresses the deep feelings that come with falling in love.
