Not a Bad Thing
"Not a Bad Thing" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his fourth studio album, ''The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2'' (2013). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley, and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, with additional writing from James Fauntleroy. It was released as the third single from the album on February 24, 2014. The song is a mid-tempo pop ballad, that makes use of an acoustic guitar throughout, with its lyrics centering on the semantic field of love.
"Not a Bad Thing" received positive reviews, with several contemporary music critics noting the song's production and lyrics being reminiscent of past material produced by former boy band NSYNC. The song's music video premiered on the ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'' on March 20, 2014. It is a mini documentary, that follows two documentary filmmakers searching for a couple that got engaged on January 12, 2014, while heading to New York City on the Long Island Rail Road train, with the man proposing to his girlfriend to "Not a Bad Thing". The video concludes with the filmmakers being lead to several false leads, with a second part of the video to follow. Timberlake performed the song on ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'' and during The 20/20 Experience World Tour. The song reached number 8 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and topped the Mainstream Top 40 chart. On the latter, Timberlake became the male artist with the most number-one songs and top 10 singles.

RCA executives reportedly believed that "Not a Bad Thing" could be ''The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2''s largest commercial success. However, they instead opted to release "Take Back the Night" and "TKO" first, to represent the album's R&B sound and distinguish "Not a Bad Thing" from the sonically similar "Mirrors".〔 A radio edit of the song was digitally released on February 24, 2014 in Austria,〔 France,〔 Germany,〔 Italy,〔 Spain,〔 Switzerland,〔 the United Kingdom〔 and the United States.〔 The next day, it impacted the contemporary hit radio in the United States.〔 On March 31 was sent to US adult contemporary radio〔 and on May 27 to its UK equivalent.〔 "Not a Bad Thing" was released as a CD single in Austria, Germany and Switzerland; apart of the radio edit of the song it also featured the "TKO (Black Friday Remix)".〔 "Not a Bad Thing" impacted the mainstream radio in Italy on June 4.〔
