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.
True Blood
Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she put me in a meditation state
Her skin was white so white
Looked like it had no expiration date
Black is the color of the night
And it's time for feeding and her body waits
There's just something 'bout the demon that she brings out of me
When we raise hell I can't stay away
Aw, give it to me now
So evil in your dress
It circulates you start to feel it
Devil in the flesh
Once you start to invoke her spirit
Got you on the floor
She comes alive when your appearing
Hungry for some more
I think she's got that true blood
Every time you're 'round I can smell it in you
She's got that true blood
I come around and raise the hell out of you
It's that demon, it's so mean, that's got me screaming
Make me wanna build a coffin for two
She's got that true blood
But baby, I just do it for the thrill out of you
It makes me say
Now I feel my fever on the rise
In my bones and my body starts to quake
Straight up from my toes to my mind
She controls me but I don't want to escape
All the other ones that have tried
Find out that they have made their final mistake
But when she got a bite of my type
She told me that she found her perfect blood mate
So evil in your dress
It circulates you start to feel it
Devil in the flesh
Once you start to invoke her spirit
Got you on the floor
She comes alive when your appearing
Hungry for some more
I think she's got that true blood
Every time you're 'round I can smell it in you
She's got that true blood
I come around and raise the hell out of you
It's that demon, it's so mean, that's got me screaming
Make me wanna build a coffin for two
She's got that true blood
But baby, I just do it for the thrill out of you
It makes me say
Your pheromones invaded my instinct
I start to seem like an animal
Roast me in your perfection, I'm mad, I don't wanna think
'Cause the others wanna burn with me but they don't hold a candle
It feels like
The others wanna burn with me but they don't hold a candle
Ooh sometimes it feels like
I think she's got that true blood
Every time you're 'round I can smell it in you
She's got that true blood
I come around and raise the hell out of you
It's that demon, it's so mean, that's got me screaming
Make me wanna build a coffin for two
She's got that true blood
But baby, I just do it for the thrill out of you
It makes me say
Give it to me, that goes to boogie, that goes to high
Give it to me
Yeah
Now that you got me
Tell me what your gonna do with me
I taste your blood
I found out you was a perfect fit
Mmm, come on mama
Show me what your working with
Mmm, come on mama
Go on show me what your working with
Show me what your working with
Now that you got me
Tell me what your gonna do with me
Cause I can taste your blood
I found out you was a perfect fit
Mmm, come on mama
Show me what your working with
I said come on mama
Go on show me what your working with
Show me what your working with
We got that true blood, she got that, she hit me with that
True blood
In Justin Timberlake's song "True Blood," he describes his attraction to a woman who seemingly has a supernatural power over him. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman with red eyes and perpetually white skin, who puts him in a "meditation state" and has the power to bring out a demonic side of him. Timberlake is convinced that she has "true blood," a reference to the popular TV show of the same name, which is about vampires and other supernatural beings.
The lyrics describe her as a devil-like figure who wears an "evil" dress and has an intoxicating scent that drives him wild. She has the power to make him feel like an animal, and he compares her to a drug that he is addicted to. Despite recognizing that she is dangerous and his connection to her could be fatal, he cannot resist her, and is enthralled by her power over him. The song is a fusion of pop and R&B sounds, with Timberlake's smooth vocals and catchy hook.
Overall, "True Blood" is a song about the irresistible pull of temptation and the allure of the unknown. It also touches on themes of addiction and the idea that sometimes we are attracted to things that are not necessarily good for us.
Line by Line Meaning
Red was the color of her eyes
Her eyes were a fiery red color
And she put me in a meditation state
She had a soothing effect on me
Her skin was white so white
Her skin was extremely pale and looked strange
Looked like it had no expiration date
Her skin looked ageless and immortal
Black is the color of the night
The night is dark and full of unknown dangers
And it's time for feeding and her body waits
It is time for her to feed, and she's in anticipation
There's just something 'bout the demon that she brings out of me
She has a demonic influence on me
When we raise hell I can't stay away
I'm drawn to the chaos that we create together
Aw, give it to me now
I want more of what she has to offer
So evil in your dress
The way you dress has an evil, seductive quality
It circulates you start to feel it
The outfit enhances your power and presence
Devil in the flesh
You embody an evil, demonic force
Once you start to invoke her spirit
Once you tap into her dark powers
Got you on the floor
You have me under your control, helpless
She comes alive when your appearing
You have a mesmerizing effect on me
Hungry for some more
You have an insatiable appetite for me
I think she's got that true blood
I believe she has the blood of supernatural creatures
Every time you're 'round I can smell it in you
I can detect her otherworldly essence when she's near me
I come around and raise the hell out of you
I'm drawn to her dark influence and we create chaos together
It's that demon, it's so mean, that's got me screaming
The demonic influence has a strong hold on me
Make me wanna build a coffin for two
I feel like we're united in death
She's got that true blood
She has supernatural blood coursing through her veins
But baby, I just do it for the thrill out of you
I'm addicted to the danger that comes with being with her
Now I feel my fever on the rise
I'm becoming more and more drawn to her
In my bones and my body starts to quake
My body is responding to her otherworldly powers
Straight up from my toes to my mind
I'm under her control, body and soul
She controls me but I don't want to escape
Although she has power over me, I'm not afraid
All the other ones that have tried
Others have attempted to be with her
Find out that they have made their final mistake
They realize too late that being with her is dangerous
But when she got a bite of my type
When she tasted my blood
She told me that she found her perfect blood mate
She felt like we were meant to be together
Your pheromones invaded my instinct
Your scent overpowered my natural instincts
I start to seem like an animal
I feel like I'm giving into primal urges
Roast me in your perfection, I'm mad, I don't wanna think
I'm losing control in your perfect presence
'Cause the others wanna burn with me but they don't hold a candle
Others want to be with me, but they can't compare to her
I think she's got that true blood
She has supernatural blood running through her veins
Every time you're 'round I can smell it in you
I can sense her otherworldly essence when she's near me
But baby, I just do it for the thrill out of you
I'm addicted to the excitement that comes with being with her
Now that you got me
Now that she has me under her control
Tell me what your gonna do with me
What are her plans for me now?
I taste your blood
I've been intimate with her, her blood is in my mouth
I found out you was a perfect fit
I feel like we are meant to be together
Come on mama, show me what you're working with
I want to see what she's capable of
We got that true blood, she got that, she hit me with that True blood
We both have supernatural blood, we're meant to be together

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
