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.
Take It from Here
Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes the world gets hard
Oh na na na
I'm gonna take it from here girl
Don't you worry
I want to be your lake, or your bay
And any problems that you have
I want to wash 'em away
I want to be your sky
So blue and high
And every time you think of me
I want to blow your mind
I want to be your air
So sweet and fair
So when you feel that you can't breathe
Ma, I'll be there
I want to be your answer, all the time
When you see how I put your life before mine
With no question
When all the love feels gone
And you can't carry on
Don't worry, girl
I'm a take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
Don't worry, girl
I'm a take it from here
I want to hold your hands
Review all your plans
I want to make sure everyone of your dreams is there
I wanna be your Broadway show on review
So I can act out how God was when he made you
I want to be your lighthouse when you get lost
I'll light a bright and shiny path to help you across
I want to be your mother, wait
See what I see
And when you see that can't nobody hold you like me
'Cause I love you
When all the love feels gone
And you can't carry on
Don't worry, girl
I'm a take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
Don't worry, girl (no no)
I'm a take it from here
And when there's no one there to hold
And you realize the world is cold
Don't worry, girl
I'm a take it from here
That's what I'm gonna do
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
(Don't you worry, baby)
Don't worry, girl
I'm a take it from here
Give me one reason why we should not be leaving
This world is so deceiving, the time is now
Let's fly away speeding
Through the Garden of Eden
Where all the sweet breathing of love surrounds
When all the love feels gone
And you can't carry on
Don't worry, girl
I'm a take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
Don't worry, girl (no no)
I'm a take it from here
Give me one reason
Why we should not be leaving
This world is so deceiving
The time is now
Lets fly away speeding
(We'll fly away)
Through the Garden of Eden
Where all the sweet and breathing
Of love surrounds
When all the love feels gone
And you can't carry on
Don't worry, girl
I'm-a take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
Don't worry, girl
I'm-a take it from here
Love ain't always the way they write in books
(No, no)
See there's the good guys
And also heartbreak crooks
Your hearts the real one
Just take a look inside
'Cause it's a colorful illustrated guide
So there you go
Don't worry
To help you weather the storm
I'll be there mami
No matter what time
No matter what place
You can always count on me
I'll take it from here
Justin Timberlake's "Take It from Here" is a love song that expresses the singer's desire to be everything that his beloved needs in life. The lyrics express an unwavering commitment to being the driving force behind his lover's happiness, and the song is full of vivid imagery that paints the picture of the ideal relationship. Timberlake wants to be the "air" that his lover breathes when she is feeling overwhelmed, the "lake" or "bay" that washes away all her problems, and the "sky" that blows her mind every time she thinks of him. He also wants to hold her hands and review all her plans, make sure that all her dreams come true, and be her lighthouse when she gets lost.
The song is also an expression of Timberlake's unwavering commitment to his lover. He promises to be there for her through thick and thin, no matter what may come their way. The lyrics state that "when there's no one there to hold / And you realize the world is cold / Don't worry, girl / I'm a take it from here." This line implies that Timberlake will always be there to offer support and guidance, no matter what the situation may be. The song's lyrics also suggest that love may not always be easy, but Timberlake asserts that his love for his partner is worth it.

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
