"My Love"
Song

"My Love" is the second single released from Justin Timberlake's sophomore effort FutureSex/LoveSounds. Despite the huge commercial success and relatively recent release of the album's first single "SexyBack", radio stations in various cities across the U.S. began spinning the cut in mid-August of 2006. In a similar fashion to "SexyBack," Timbaland contributes limited background vocals to the song, the song also features a rap verse from T.I. Early reception of the song has been extremely positive, with many fans and critics preferring it over "SexyBack." The song received a rare 5/5 star rating from Pitchfork Media.[1] Justin performed "My Love" and "SexyBack" as a medley for the opening of the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. He performed it as well as a medley in the opening of the European Music Awards, which he also hosted.

The UK release for the single has been confirmed to be on November 13 according to BBC Radio 1.

Timberlake became the first male artist since Usher in 2004 to have two consecutive number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. This is Timberlake's second number one single on the Hot 100, and T.I.'s first. Interestingly, both "SexyBack" and "My Love" took eight weeks to hit #1.

Music video

The music video premiered on October 12th. It includes the prelude to the song (Let Me Talk To You) which features the song's (and album) producer Timbaland. At the beginning it shows Timberlake in what seems to be a studio filled with white bars of light dancing with one of the many girls in the video. Then it goes on to show Timbaland and Timberlake rapping the prelude. Afterwards, the screen turns white and shows a distant Timberlake rotating coming towards the screen. He stops rotating once he is straight and starts singing the first verse. At random points in the video, the screen will change colors from black to white and show Timberlake with his dancers (the same ones who helped him out at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards), and different girls he seems to be singing the song to. While Timberlake is standing still in random parts of the video, the object he is talking about in his verse will start floating pass him towards the screen, which seems to obviously be a bluescreen effect. One example is when T.I. is rapping in front of a black screen, rubberbands start to float pass him through the air towards the screen, which refers to his nickname as the "Rubberband Man" that he and his fans had given him. Other examples are the start of the first verse, Timberlake sings "If I wrote you a symphony", while having violins float pass him toward the screen, and the start of the second verse, Timberlake sings "If I wrote you a love note", while sheets of paper float past him toward the screen.
