Justified is the debut solo studio album by American singer Justin Timberlake. It was released on November 5, 2002 by Jive Records. The album was written and recorded in a six-week period, during the hiatus of Timberlake's band NSYNC. For the album, Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an R&B artist opposed to the previous pop music recorded by the group. The majority of the album was produced by The Neptunes (credited as "Williams and Hugo") and Timbaland, and features guest appearances by Janet Jackson, Clipse, and Bubba Sparxxx. Primarily an R&B album, Justified also contains influences of dance-pop, funk, and soul music.
Justified received generally positive reviews from critics, who complimented the mature progression of Timberlake’s material, although some criticized its lyrical content. The album earned Timberlake four Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year, and won the award for Best Pop Vocal Album. Justified debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and sold 439,000 copies in its first week. It was certified three-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold over 3.9 million copies in the US. As of 2012, the album has sold over ten million copies worldwide.
Four singles were released from Justified. The lead single "Like I Love You" peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while the follow-up singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body" peaked within the top five on the chart. "Like I Love You", "Cry Me a River", and "Rock Your Body" peaked at number two in the United Kingdom and in the top ten in Australia (with "Rock Your Body" topping the Australian chart), Ireland, Netherlands, and Belgium. To promote the album, Timberlake performed on several television shows and award ceremonies, including the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, where he made his solo debut appearance. Furthermore, Timberlake embarked on two concert tours: The Justified World Tour and the Justified and Stripped Tour; on the latter, he was accompanied by Christina Aguilera.
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you're approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it's right for me
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you're approaching me right
But you gotta work that thing right for me
Little baby with the sun dress on
Looking so damn right you're wrong
Make me wanna write my own little song for you
The way the thing just wiggle in the air
Turn around and then you flip your hair
I could think of a couple positions for you
Your wasting no time talking to me
Must be something you want me to see
Well baby girl don't mind me if I do
So take the stage just show me what you got
Feeling lucky let me touch your spot
Might be leaving with me before the night is through
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you're approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it's right for me
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you're approaching me right
But you gotta work that thing right for me
Your body's saying things I ain't never heard
You did the shake-shake and I kinda went berserk
Gotta give it to you girl you're one of a kind
When you took my hand up so calm
Touched it to your cherry lip balm
A million nasty things went through my mind
So baby tell me what you're doing later on
'Cause I'm thinking me and you could get along
Baby girl don't mind me if I do
So take the stage just show me what you got
Feeling lucky let me touch your spot
Might be leaving with me before the night is through
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you're approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it's right for me
(You might be right for me)
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you're approaching me right
But you gotta work that thing right for me
(Yea, yea, work that thing right)
Yea
Bubba come stumblin' in
Get up huntin 'betty' with Justin and them
We must be the fliest of southerner men
That's your girl, well buddy don't fumble it then
You better get her, I'm totally into my zone
Come on girl, close your eyes pretend it's your home
I will be puttin' my signature on
That thing I don't even wanna finish the song, lets go
I'm gettin' discouraged with her
Too late now we're friends, I surely prefer
Listen to every word that I slur
Other dudes be huggin' and nourishin' her, not me
I bet you remember the night
Good ol' Bubba K came into her life
Test the water let me know if the temperature right,
Thank you ma'am, its certainly been a delight, uh-huh
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you're approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it's right for me
(Make sure it's right for me, yea)
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
(Yea-yea)
And you're approaching me right
But you gotta work that thing right for me
(Work that thing right, yea)
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
(You know what I like)
And you're approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it's right for me

(You know what I like)
And you're approaching me right
But you gotta work that thing right for me
(So right for me)
