[edit] Maniac

Is there a sample from the song Maniac towards the end of this tune? 213.202.185.4 11:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Cover

• • The Cover** can someone please remove the alternate cover? It's not even real.

[edit] The title

There are so many different titles for this song:

"What Goes Around..."
"What Goes Around"
"What Goes Around Comes Around"
"What Goes Around...Comes Around"
"What Goes Around... Comes Around"
"What Goes Around.../...Comes Around (Interlude)"

Can we all just pick one and stick with it? And does anyone know the official track title? Or what it says on the album track listing on the CD (because I don't have it)? If anyone does, please just change it and stick with it. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The93owner (talk • contribs) 02:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

the interlude flips the instrumental around, and as included the whole thing's like 7 minutes. so i'm assuming that the single released will only include the "What Goes Around..." part, but i don't know for sure cuz i haven't heard it on the radio.

so it'd either be "What Goes Around..." or "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around (Interlude)" depending on what's been released. 134.69.166.175 03:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

The title has been moved to What Goes Around... because the tracklisting on the cd is the offcial name for the song.The interlude is included in the video but not on the radio stations which confirms that the single is only What Goes Around. My Love was another issue but as you can see has also been moved to just My Love because thats the single that was released.--Gregxscene 05:44, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Why then is the full title on the cover of the single, shown right there in the infobox? It is also listed as "What Goes Around...Comes Around" in several official chart listings, including Billboard magazine. Displaying it just as "What Goes Around" in the album's article is ok, as that is how it is listed in the CD credits, but if the title has been modified for the single release, then the single's article should have the correct title. - eo 17:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Can we all just stick with the current title (What Goes Around...Comes Around)? The93owner 01:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

The album version is What goes around.../...Comes Around (Interlude) and its like 7 minutes... the radio version is just What Goes Around... and its around 5 minutes... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.103.176.163 (talk) 17:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] More things about this article in addition to the questionable title

After leaving comment about the song title (see above) I am now wondering if a) this single cover image is legit. There is no proper source for it in the image's history. Where did it come from? and b) Are all those remixes official? A lot of song articles suddenly have a lot of remixes added to them by independent DJs/remixers who are just looking for a mention or a plug for their own private mix. Timberlake's "My Love" article at one point had like 25 mixes listed until it was properly cleaned up. Which of these are real? Fakes and unofficials should be removed immediately. -- eo 18:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

That single cover is at Amazon.com. "What Goes Around...Comes Around" appears to be the single's closest thing to an official title, so I put it there. Crumbsucker 01:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Loose language

Language such as "back to his place" and "making out" seem too colloquial for an article. - 69.157.81.249 00:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC) A.K.

That whole section is a mess. Way too much detail for a song article. I tagged it in the past but not much has been done. - eo 00:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
