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.
Still on My Brain
Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't seem to breathe
Feels like it hasn't been that long
Since you walked away from me
Now I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know
I still think of you that way
The beautiful lights, the star-filled nights
They don't mean a thing
'Cause you are my star, so it don't seem right
Without you here with me
Now I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know
It's hard for me to say
You were my soul
Now I could say that I don't love you no more
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But, baby, I just wouldn't be the same
'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
Now when you're in love it takes time to heal
When someone's broken your heart, it changes how you feel
I thought that you would never do me that way
But even after all I still think of you that way
Now I could say that I don't love you no more
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But, baby, I just wouldn't be the same
'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
Now love is a game that we both like to play
When I win or lose, if I go or if I stay
Even though I try to hide my broken heart inside
Girl, you know me inside out
And I can't get you off of my mind
And I could say that I don't love you no more
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But, baby, I just wouldn't be the same
'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
La, la, la, la

Line by Line Meaning
The beautiful days are long gone
The happy moments we shared in the past are now over and gone
And I can't seem to breathe
I am struggling to move on from the past and find it hard to catch my breath
Feels like it hasn't been that long
Although it seems like a while ago, the memory of you leaving still hurts me
Since you walked away from me
You left me, and I can't seem to get over it
Now I can try to act real strong
I can pretend to be alright even though I am still hurting
But you and I both know
I cannot hide my true feelings from you because you know me so well
I still think of you that way
I still love you and cannot forget the past we shared together
The beautiful lights, the star-filled nights
The romantic moments we shared under the stars do not have the same meaning without you
They don't mean a thing
I cannot enjoy these experiences without you there with me
'Cause you are my star, so it don't seem right
You were the most important person in my life, and it feels wrong to be without you
Without you here with me
I am lost and alone without you by my side
It's hard for me to say
It is difficult for me to admit that I still love you
You were my soul
You were the other half of me, the one who completed me
Now I could say that I don't love you no more
I could try to convince myself and others that I am over you and no longer love you
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
I could pretend that I have moved on and closed the door on our relationship
And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
I could try to convince myself and others that we need to move on and end our relationship
But, baby, I just wouldn't be the same
I know that I cannot be happy without you in my life
'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
I am still in love with you and cannot forget about you
Now when you're in love it takes time to heal
It takes time to get over someone you truly loved
When someone's broken your heart, it changes how you feel
I am still hurt and cannot move on from the pain you caused me
I thought that you would never do me that way
I never expected you to break my heart and leave me
Now love is a game that we both like to play
Our relationship was like a game that we both enjoyed playing
When I win or lose, if I go or if I stay
Whether I win or lose or stay or go, I am still in love with you
Even though I try to hide my broken heart inside
I try to hide my pain, but it is still there
Girl, you know me inside out
You know me better than anyone else
And I can't get you off of my mind
I cannot stop thinking about you and the love we once had
La, la, la, la

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
