Justin Timberlake Crowns This ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’ Hit as the Best Song He’s Ever Made: ‘Written in Damn Near 20 Minutes’
Justin Timberlake named “What Goes Around…/…Comes Around” the best song he has made, saying it could be his number one or two. His choice matters because he clarified that the song’s story came from a friend, not his own experience, correcting a long-running rumour about its inspiration.
The track was the first he wrote for *FutureSex/LoveSounds* and, he said, came together in nearly 20 minutes. It topped the US Billboard Hot 100 in March 2007; Timberlake also praised its interlude and Scarlett Johansson-starring video. His top five included “Mirrors”, “My Love”, “SexyBack” and “Cry Me a River”; he also recalled Ye saying “SexyBack” inspired “Stronger” and said he had recently worked on ideas with Don Toliver.
In short
- Timberlake chose “What Goes Around…/…Comes Around” as his best song.
- He says it was based on a friend’s experience and written in nearly 20 minutes.
- He also recalled “SexyBack” inspiring Ye’s “Stronger” and teased work with Don Toliver.
