FutureSex/LoveSounds is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake. Released on September 8, 2006, by Jive Records and its affiliated label of the Zomba Group of Companies. During a two-year hiatus, Timberlake resolved his feelings on being unable to record any new material, and as he returned to record some new music, he began collaborating with his longtime record producer Timbaland, alongside the latter's colleague Danja. The album's contents were produced at Timbaland's Thomas Crown Studios. The album shares some lyrical themes with Timberlake's debut album Justified (2002), although FutureSex/LoveSounds was influenced by a wider range of genres, including trance, funk and rock. The reprises and interludes interspersed on the album's tracks were created by the production team with the goal of channeling Timberlake's influences.
FutureSex/LoveSounds received mostly positive reviews from critics, who noted its wide range of influences and collection of eclectic sounds. The album produced six singles that attained chart success; including US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: "SexyBack", "My Love", and "What Goes Around... Comes Around". With "Summer Love", the album achieved four US Mainstream Top 40 number-one songs. Many music publications considered it among the best albums of the 2000s. Aside from earning numerous best-of-the-decade lists, the album received several Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, while its first four singles won in their respective categories. It has been certified multi-platinum in many countries worldwide, and has sold over 10 million copies, with four million in the United States. The album has been added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's musical library and archive. It is also considered by critics and fans to be one of Timberlake's best albums to date. To further promote the album, Timberlake embarked on his second concert tour, entitled FutureSex/LoveShow, which became one of the highest-grossing tours in 2007.
You know what you want
And that makes you just like me
See everybody says you're hot baby
But can you make it hot for me?
Said if you're thinking about holding back
Don't worry girl cause I'm gonna make it so easy
So slide a little bit closer to me little girl
See daddy's on a mission to please, wait a second
She's hopped up on me, I've got her in my zone
Her body's pressed up on me, I think she's ready to blow
Must be my FutureSex/LoveSound
And when it goes down, baby all ya gotta do is
Just tell me which way you like that
All you gotta do is tell me which way you like that
Do you like it like this? Do you like it like that?
Tell me which way you like that
Tell me which way you like that
You can't stop baby
You can't stop once you've turned me on
And your enemies are your thoughts baby
So just let em go
Cause all I need is a moment alone to give you my tongue
And put you outta control
And after you let it in, we'll be skin to skin
It's just so natural, wait a second
She's hopped up on me, I've got her in my zone
Her body's pressed up on me, I think she's ready to blow
Must be my FutureSex/LoveSound
And when it goes down, baby all ya gotta do is
Just tell me which way you like that
All you gotta do is tell me which way you like that
Do you like it like this? Do you like it like that?
Tell me which way you like that
Tell me which way you like that
