"My Love" is a song by American singer–songwriter Justin Timberlake from his second studio album, FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006). It was released on September 12, 2006, by Jive Records as the second single from the album. The song was co-written by Timberlake, Timbaland, Nate "Danja" Hills, and T.I., and produced by Timberlake, Timbaland, and Danja.

Timberlake revealed that the song's creating process took time to image and execute.[1] He also stated that "My Love" was less about marriage and a more humble approach to love. The song features synthesizer chords with a slow beat and includes a beatboxing, percussion, and staccato sounds. The single features a rap verse from rapper T.I. Timberlake described the track as "a rock-techno ballad".[1] "My Love" was well-received by music critics, although some criticized Timberlake for some of the lyrics and sounds.

The track entered the top ten on most charts, topping several of Billboard magazine's component charts, including the Billboard Hot 100, Pop 100, Hot Dance Airplay, and Hot Digital Songs charts. "My Love" also became Timberlake's second consecutive number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally, the single peaked in the number two position, becoming Timberlake's fourth single to reach number two. In New Zealand, the track peaked at number one for five non-consecutive weeks, to become Timberlake's second number one single.

Pitchfork Media named "My Love" as their number one song of 2006. Many have cited that the song is similar to Timberlake's 2002 song "Cry Me a River".[2][3] The track won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 2007 Grammy Awards. "My Love" also won Timberlake the Male Artist of the Year and Best Choreography in a Video at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

Background

In December 2005, Justin Timberlake began working on his second album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, the follow-up to Justified (2002). Within three weeks, "My Love" was one of several songs that were recorded.[1] In September 2006, Timberlake told Rolling Stone that the song was "a rock-techno ballad" and that the process of creating "took two hours to imagine and execute".[1] While promoting the album in an interview with MTV News, Timberlake revealed that the second half of the album (including "My Love") focuses on anthems of love.[4] In another interview, he revealed that "My Love" was a "contradiction of sounds. You've got this operatic thing going on. If you take all the staccato sounds out, the essence of the song is it's a ballad, but the way the beat is inlaid underneath the vocals, it becomes a percussive ballad."[5]

In discussion of T.I.'s participation in the track, Timberlake said: "The second hook finished and I said, 'Oh, a rapper would sound good on this'."[6] Timbaland, who co-wrote and produced the song, agreed to the idea and suggested T.I. Timberlake agreed to the idea, although he doubted that T.I. would say yes,[6] and said that he was thankful that T.I. agreed to take part.[6]

Music and lyrics

"My Love" is a hip hop R&B song.[7][8][9] The song is composed in the key of E minor and is set in time signature of common time with a tempo of 121 beats per minute.[8] The music begins with a stop-start trance-style synthesizer.[9][10][11] The song also includes Timbaland beatboxing and adding "toy sounds",[9][12] as well as Timberlake's falsetto. The track features a rap verse from rapper T.I.[9][13] It also carries a slower beat,[12] with an electro-Southern hip hop sound.[4] The Guardian described the song as a "languid love ballad, prickling with dark emotion",[2] while MTV News described the beat as "slow and saucy".[14] Ben Williams of New York magazine wrote that it has "stabbing techno riff, crunched-together mouth-popping noises, and wailing opera singer".[3] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian said that the single is "a twitching mass of rave synthesizers and [agonizingly] slow beats".[10] Jacqui Swift of The Sun wrote that the song "begins with a tinny percussion sound before launching into a frantic repetitive chorus".[15]

In July 2006, The Observer Music Monthly interviewed Timberlake and stated that the track "is arguably the album's 'Cry Me a River'."[2] In response, Timberlake said, "It is similar. You go back to Aaliyah's biggest record, 'Are You That Somebody' – it's similar to that too because it's that percussive ballad."[2] When asked about the lyrics, "There's just one thing I need from you: say I do", being autobiographical, he said no, adding that the line before that, "this ring here represents my heart", is about marriage and love. Timberlake stated, "It's not specifically about marriage, but about a humble approach to love. None of it is autobiographical, though obviously I have experience to draw from."[2]

Williams stated that the song is "an obvious sequel" to Timberlake's 2002 song "Cry Me a River".[3] The Georgia Straight's Martin Turenne interprets the song's background as Timberlake lowering himself on bended knee, proposing long walks on the beach and asking, "Would you date me on the regular?".[16] Dagny Salas of North by Northwestern considered it a more romantic song, about Timberlake professing his love to a woman.[17] Others have opined that "My Love" is a marriage proposal.[18]

Critical reception

In The New York Times review of the album, critic Kelefa Sanneh wrote: "...'My Love', a sumptuous collaboration with the rapper T.I. It starts with a 90-second 'prelude', a clattering rhythm track with a bit of rapping and snippets of melody. Then the real thing hits: sleek synthesizer chords punctuated by tiny bursts of silence."[19] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine wrote that the track "mixes Timberlake's proud beatboxing talent with colossal, futuristic synth swirls and a cartoonish, maniacal giggle that's looped ad infinitum a la the crying baby from Aaliyah's 'Are You That Somebody?'".[20] Matthew Gasteier of Prefix magazine noted that the song "is probably the standout triumph here, with stuttering synths and a fade-in-fade-out shimmering beat that may be the best ever from Timbaland".[11] Lauren Murphy of entertainment.ie stated that the single is "undeniably fluid and features some of the niftiest slo-mo effects around".[12] Jonah Weiner of Blender magazine cited the song as the "standout" song from the album and wrote that the single "...straddles the album's up-tempo FutureSex and balladeering LoveSounds halves — one coos about puppy love over the other's stroboscopic, salivating beat, and both trade devotionals on the chorus".[21]

"My Love" was criticized for some of the lyrics and sounds that were featured. Sanneh reported that Timberlake "exhales his clumsy pickup lines" with the lyrics "If I told you you were beautiful / Would you date me on the regular?".[19] Murphy contemplated that the song is "ultimately ruined" by a "bizarre Crazy Frog-meets-Laughing-Policeman underlay".[12] Emily Vaughan of North by Northwestern commented that Timberlake claims to have gone around the world twice in "My Love" and "Damn Girl" and that he is also "running out of creative ways to say he would like you to go to bed with him".[17] Vaughan, however, was positive towards "My Love", stating that the song, along with "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around", sounded considerably different from the rest of the album.[17]

The song was picked by Pitchfork Media as their number one song of 2006.[22] Timberlake performed "My Love" and "SexyBack" as a medley for the opening of the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards,[23] and again for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006, which he also hosted.[24][25] He also performed the song on Saturday Night Live (SNL).[26] Timberlake, alongside Robyn Troup and T.I., performed the song live at the 49th Grammy Awards.[27][28] At the awards ceremony, "My Love" won a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.[29][30] The song was covered by Irish band The Coronas,[31] and by British group Klaxons on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge and was included in the B-side of their song "It's Not Over Yet", which was released in June 2007.[32]

Chart performance

"My Love" was commercially successful in the United States. The single debuted at number 89 on September 23, 2006, on the Billboard Hot 100, prior to its physical release.[33] From number five on November 11, 2006,[34] it propelled to number one the following week. "My Love" became Timberlake's second consecutive number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from his Futuresex/Lovesounds album, becoming the first male artist since Usher in 2004 to have three or more consecutive number one hits from one album.[35] The single charted on the Hot 100 for three weeks. In addition to the Hot 100, "My Love" also reached number one on the following Billboard charts: Pop 100, Hot Dance Airplay and Top 40 mainstream charts, and has peaked at number three on the Rhythmic Top 40.[36] Also, on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, "My Love" peaked at number two to become Timberlake's most successful single on this chart.[36] The song also charted on the Hot Dance Club Play and Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks charts, peaking at number 15 and number 29, respectively.[36]

In the United Kingdom, "My Love" debuted at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart on November 18, 2006, one week prior to its physical release, and ascended to its peak the following week at number two, to become Timberlake's fourth single to reach number two.[37] The digital download sales helped propel the single to number two on November 20, 2006.[38] The song spent nineteen weeks within the top 75, retiring on March 24, 2007, spending four of those within the top ten.[37] The single entered the top five in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland,[39] and entered the top ten in France and Austria.[39] In Australia, "My Love" debuted and peaked at number four on the Australian ARIA singles chart on November 26, 2006, gaining the Highest Debut certification.[40] It spent a total of twenty-four weeks on the chart.[39] "My Love" was certified Gold by Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).[41] In New Zealand, the single debuted at number 25 and eventually peaked at number one for five non-consecutive weeks, to become Timberlake's second number one single.[39]

Music video

The music video for "My Love" was directed by Paul Hunter and premiered on October 12, 2006. The video includes the prelude to the song ("Let Me Talk to You"), which includes the song's producer, Timbaland and features T.I.[42] The video incorporates a black-and-white background and dancing, choreographed as the steps are in synch with the beat of the song.[43]

The video starts with "Let Me Talk to You" as the background is surrounded by faulty fluorescent lighting, turning on and off in a programmed pattern. It also begins with Timberlake and Timbaland chanting "hey" to one another. The video proceeds with Timberlake dancing to the beat of the song. Timbaland then begins singing the first verse of the song, which then is proceeded by Timberlake. This is immediately followed with "My Love" playing; the first verse of the song, "Ain't another woman that could take your spot my", plays. Timberlake comes floating toward the camera, down the faulty fluorescent tube. Once Timberlake stops floating, he begins singing the main verse of the song, which violins begin to float swirling gently around him, for "If I wrote you a symphony / Just to say how much you mean to me". The scene then changes with Timberlake and various dancers dancing accordingly in a choreographed style. When Timberlake begins the second verse, "Now if I wrote you a love note / And made you sign up every word I wrote", pens and paper begin to float. This later exceeds with Timberlake singing "This ring here represents my heart" with a ring swirling into the camera. T.I. is then seen in the shot. T.I. begins rapping his lines in the song. After T.I. finishes his verse, Timberlake is then seen dancing with a female back-up dancer. Though, as they continue dancing, the female then leaves the shot, leaving Timberlake to dance to the end of the song. In the closing moments, the camera swirls around him, proving, conclusively, from every angle, that everyone has gone.

At the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, Timberlake won Male Artist of the Year for "Let Me Talk To You/ My Love", "SexyBack", and "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around".[44] He, alongside choreographer Marty Kudelka, won Best Choreography in a Video for "My Love".[44]
