To celebrate his 41st birthday, fans are celebrating his big day by listening to all of their favorite songs... and there are a lot!
‘Cry Me A River’
Many believe the song “Cry Me A River” is about Justin’s public breakup with pop star Britney Spears.
One fan commented, “A woman like Britney must not be easy to forget.”
Even though it’s been about 20 years since the song came out and they've both moved on with other people, fans can’t stop listening to it!
“It doesn’t matter if you are a fan of Justin or not, this song is iconic,” one fan wrote.
“The lyrics of this song are masterful,” another fan wrote. “You can see the feeling of hatred, sadness, disappointment, and love.”
“All of Justin Timberlake's old songs are the best, especially this one,” another shared.
‘Sexyback’ Featuring Timbaland
For many people, there was a time when they couldn’t step foot in a party without this song playing in the background. Since then, it's become a sensation on TikTok.
“Anyone else who knew this song since they were kids, and not from Tiktok?” one fan asked.
“I didn’t come for Tik Tok, I came for nostalgia,” another said.
“I’m old and I just now realized that the production for this song is amazingly ahead of its time,” another shared. “Literally could pass as a current song and I think a big part of that is Timbaland and his production skill.”
“Timbaland deserves his roses NOW for traversing through so many decades and landscapes in music,” another shared. “This beat is ridiculous.”
‘Can’t Stop The Feeling!’
From the DreamWorks Animated film “Trolls,” many fans love the feel-good beat and optimistic lyrics!
“This song never gets old,” one fan wrote. “No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.”
“This is a good song, but the video makes it even better,” another fan wrote. “The image of common people just expressing joy, dancing in whatever way they feel, is something we all need.”
