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.

(Oh, oh no)
You picked a perfect day to bump into me
Probably should've watched the stars in the sky the night before
But for some reason we still met at your store
Your eyes have a story that they wish to tell
And I have my whole life and I listen well
Look, I'll be your confidant
But please start it off with how you tuck your wings
There's nothing else that I have seen
There's no getting around it or in between
You're out of this world
Except you're not green
Look, you don't know what you mean
To me, to me
All my friends meet you and say you're the one
And all my meaningless friendships should be done
You had a friend but he did you wrong
But I'm a God sent sign that reads
Please move on with me
You taught me to use my heart and forget my eyes
And that's the way to His kingdom of eternal life
Since you're an angel, baby your job's never done
Too bad the world won't see you when they dial 9-1-1
There's nothing else that I have seen
There's no getting around it or in between
You're out of this world
Except you're not green
Look, you don't know what you mean
To me, to me
There's nothing else that I have seen
There's no getting around it or in between
You're out of this world
Except you're not green
Look, you don't know what you mean
To me, to me
There's nothin' else in this world
Like you
So why is it so complicated?
What are you afraid of?
I've been asking everybody what they think
But I don't know why because they don't know you
I'm even asking other guys what would they say
But I don't know why 'cause they don't do what I do
Girl, I say an ultimatums for you
But you'd probably take that and just run
Now I gotta decide if I'mma help raise your mind
Seems like the ultimatums or me that's no fun
I was just walking that day aimlessly
The song "Nothin' Else" by Justin Timberlake is about meeting someone unexpectedly and feeling an instant connection with them. The singer is wandering aimlessly when they bump into the person who would become incredibly important to them. The lyrics suggest that there is something special about this person, who may be an angel or have angelic qualities. The singer describes the change this person has brought upon their life, teaching them to use their heart instead of their eyes and forget their past meaningless relationships. The song is about the singer's struggles to understand the relationship and whether it has a future, and they seek advice from others on what to do. Ultimately, the singer is torn between giving an ultimatum and staying in the relationship, or moving on.
The opening lines of the song suggest a chance encounter that leads to a profound connection. The singer's lack of direction is significant – it shows that they were not expecting to encounter this person and that they were, in a sense, fortunate to meet them. The line "But for some reason we still met at your store" suggests fate, that it was not a coincidence that they happened to cross paths.
The description of the other person as having eyes with a story to tell reinforces the idea that they have a spiritual quality about them. The line "I'll be your confidant/Tell me anything" shows the strength of the singer's feelings and suggests that they want to be everything this person needs to help and support them.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of meeting someone and feeling an instant connection, despite the complications that come with it. It is a testament to the power of fate and the unexpected nature of love.

I was just walking that day aimlessly
I was wandering around without a purpose or destination
You picked a perfect day to bump into me
You coincidentally met me on a great day
Probably should've watched the stars in the sky the night before
Maybe I should have looked at the sky and pondered on fate
But for some reason we still met at your store
Despite everything, we still ended up meeting
Your eyes have a story that they wish to tell
I sense that there's something you want to say through your gaze
And I have my whole life and I listen well
I am willing to lend you my ear for as long as I live
Look, I'll be your confidant
Trust me with your secrets and worries
Tell me anything
Don't hesitate to speak your mind
But please start it off with how you tuck your wings
But first give me a glimpse of your true self
There's nothing else that I have seen
I have yet to find someone else like you
There's no getting around it or in between
There's no denying my feelings for you
You're out of this world
You're extraordinary
Except you're not green
You're not an alien, but still not from this world
Look, you don't know what you mean
You are unaware of your impact on me
To me, to me
In my eyes, my perception
All my friends meet you and say you're the one
Everyone I know thinks you're the perfect match for me
And all my meaningless friendships should be done
I don't need other friends because I have you
You had a friend but he did you wrong
I know someone hurt you in the past
But I'm a God sent sign that reads
But I believe I was brought into your life for a reason
Please move on with me
Let me help you move on from the past and towards a future with me
You taught me to use my heart and forget my eyes
You taught me to trust my heart over my eyes when it comes to love
And that's the way to His kingdom of eternal life
Following your heart is the key to finding everlasting love
Since you're an angel, baby your job's never done
Being an angel is a lifelong mission for you
Too bad the world won't see you when they dial 9-1-1
Unfortunately, not everyone sees the good that you do
There's nothin' else in this world
I can't find anything or anyone else like you
Like you
Your uniqueness sets you apart from everyone else
So why is it so complicated?
So why is our relationship so hard to understand?
What are you afraid of?
What is stopping you from fully committing to us?
I've been asking everybody what they think
I've been seeking advice from anyone who will listen
But I don't know why because they don't know you
But their opinions are irrelevant because they don't really know you
I'm even asking other guys what would they say
I'm even asking other guys about their experiences in hopes of understanding you better
But I don't know why 'cause they don't do what I do
But I can't compare their experiences to mine since I am unique
Girl, I say an ultimatums for you
I am giving you an ultimatum
But you'd probably take that and just run
But I'm afraid you'll choose to leave me if I do
Now I gotta decide if I'mma help raise your mind
Now I must choose if I want to help you mature emotionally
Seems like the ultimatums or me that's no fun
But it seems like you might not enjoy either option either

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
Sound's a calm, when we become the animals that we're made in the jungle
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
