"Rock Your Body" is the third single from Justin Timberlake's solo debut album Justified. The song features Vanessa Marquez. She was at that time signed to Star Trak Entertainment[1]. Released in 2003, the Neptunes-produced single peaked at #5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. "Rock Your body" entered the Australian chart at #1 and stayed there for 1 week. It also became his third #2 hit in the UK Singles Chart. Although designed specifically for Michael Jackson's 2001 Invincible album, it never made the cut and Timberlake-The Neptunes made it his own.

[edit] Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy
While Timberlake was performing this song at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show with R&B singer Janet Jackson, at the moment he sang "have you naked by the end of this song", he ripped off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her right breast on live television (see Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy).
Timberlake distanced himself from the controvesy while Jackson faced much criticism. Timberlake later commented that "America's harsher on women...[and] unfairly harsh on ethnic people."
