“Rock Your Body” was originally intended to be featured on Michael Jackson's 2001 tenth studio album “Invincible”. However, Justin Timberlake released the song instead due to its rejection by Michael Jackson.
“Pusher Love Girl” was released from his third studio album “The 20/20 Experience” in 2013.

“Until The End Of Time”, “What Goes Around... Comes Around” and “SexyBack” were featured on his second studio album “FutureSex/LoveSounds” in 2006.

“SexyBack” features American producer Timbaland and became his first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as first single to reach number one in the United Kingdom.
“Selfish” is featured on his newest album “Everything I Thought It Was”, which was released on March 15, 2024.
He said of the song, “We were talking about the song itself and just breaking down the idea that you just don't hear that from men often, that they would express an emotion that makes them vulnerable. And then, growing up the way I grew up, you're taught not to do that. But I don't know, it just felt like a really honest song.” - source : NPR
