The beat was intended for Michael Jackson's 2001 album Invincible, but The Neptunes ended up selling the track to Timberlake instead.
Timberlake performed this song at the Kids' Choice Awards.
The video features Timberlake dancing. The female lead dancer in the music video is Staci Flood lip-syncing Marquez's parts of the song.
The video version of the song also features another beatbox breakdown in the middle of the song, much like the one performed in the *NSync single Pop.
While Timberlake was performing this song at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show with R&B singer Janet Jackson, at the moment he sang the lyric, "I'll have you naked by the end of this song," he ripped off part of Jackson's costume by accident, exposing her right breast on live television.
Timberlake distanced himself from the controversy while Jackson faced much criticism. Timberlake later commented that "America's harsher on women...and unfairly harsh on ethnic people."
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.

@@me-pz5yi We admire their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns
(Channels which share knowledge about this topic:

But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?
Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experience after signing the blood contract?
M J – has “thriller”
K P – has “wide awake”

Fun little music fact:
Justin Timberlake’s “Rock Your Body” was originally written by Pharrell for Michael Jackson's final album, Invincible.
@TheChadPad
Justin co-wrote it with Pharrell and Chad Hugo
@mihusnooker
Good thing Justin took the song, it was made for him. Michael singing this... nope thanks.
@Chris_aspiration
The beat was for Mike. But Pharrell and JT wrote it to fit Justin
