"My Love" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his second studio album, ''FutureSex/LoveSounds'' (2006). It was released on October 24, 2006, by Jive Records as the second single from the album. The song features American rapper T.I. and 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.〔 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. Timberlake described the track as "a rock-techno ballad".〔 "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".〔〔 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, 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. In September 2006, Timberlake told ''Rolling Stone'' that the song was "a hip-hop ballad" and that the process of creating "took two hours to imagine and execute".〔 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.〔 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." 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'." 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,〔 and said that he was thankful that T.I. agreed to take part.〔 Timberlake revealed in 2013 that he originally asked rapper JAY-Z (Whom he would collaborate with extensively in his later career) to appear on the track before T.I. “I wanted to do a record with him on ''FutureSex/LoveSounds''..." he explained "...and he at that time had done a record with Beyoncé, it was ‘Déjà Vu.’ And he said—respectfully, I can’t knock him for saying like I have this one feature, I think he was working on his own music as well so he didn’t want to be on too many things. And I said, ‘I totally respect that. I’m obviously not gonna get into any domestic anything. That’s your wife.’ But the record was ‘My Love.’ And it ended up being an interesting blessing in disguise because I think Tip for that record—I mean his verse is phenomenal.”〔http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.25244/title.justin-timberlake-says-jay-z-was-approached-before-t-i-for-my-love-collaboration〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Love (Justin Timberlake song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
