The album was not produced until late 2005. Timberlake, who felt burnt out after the success of ''Justified'', found inspiration in making music again and turned to his former collaborator, record producer [[Timbaland]]. Timberlake also worked with Timbaland-protégé [[Danja]], alongside record producers [[Rick Rubin]] and [[will.i.am]]. The album blends pop and R&B [[genres]], while incorporating sexual innuendos with themes of love, as the title suggests.

==ED==
In the following two years, Timberlake turned partially idle in the recording industry. He immersed himself in athletic activities, and was lounging in his house during weekends. Timberlake reflects, "Oh, shit! This is what the world looks like at a regular pace."<ref name="Austin3"/> His being burnt out partly caused him to try acting in movies. In October 2003, he hosted and was the musical guest on the American late-night [[variety show]] ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' and showcased his acting abilities in a parody to American actor [[Ashton Kutcher]] and American singer-actress [[Jessica Simpson]]. Later, he paired American actor [[Jimmy Fallon]] on ''[[The Barry Gibb Talk Show]]'' and, in the words of Fallon, impressed him and the crew with having a great comedic timing.<ref name="Austin3"/> After the show, Timberlake was overwhelmed with acting offers, and readily accepted them because he was also lacking an inspiration at that time and did not want to miss out on opportunities.<ref name="Austin3"/><ref name="Moss">{{Cite news |last=Moss |first=Corey |title=Justin Timberlake: A New Justification |url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/t/timberlake_justin/news_qa_060220/ |work=MTV News |accessdate=2008-05-27}}</ref> As he wanted to do it the right way, he chose roles and directors he thought was "cool".<ref name="Moss"/> Before the year ends, Timberlake shot the movie ''[[Edison (film)|Edison Force]]'' and acted in the following year for another three lined-up films, including ''[[Alpha Dog]]''.<ref name="Austin3"/>

Timberlake opted not to pursue the reunion with 'N Sync that he considered after ''Justified''. According to him, he was concerned with how they would reinvent their music: "OK, what are we gonna do?

===Technology===
In 2005, Timberlake was inspired to make records again. He felt he needed to experiment and create something new. Also, according to him, he was motivated by the sad state of the pop radio and dismissed the idea of doing something that would sound alike.<ref name="Austin3"/> So, he turned again to his ''Justified'' collaborator, record producer [[Timbaland]], whom he admired for being "not afraid to move outside of his box".<ref name="Moss"/> In November 2005, he went to Timbaland's studio in [[Virginia Beach, Virginia]], United States. However, they lacked direction as to what the album should be. Record producer [[Danja]], a protégé of Timbaland, recalled, "We had no direction at all&nbsp;... There was no direction for how he wanted the song to sound, because there was no direction for how he wanted [his album ''FutureSex/LoveSounds''] to sound."<ref name="Vineyard2">{{Cite news |last=Vineyard |first=Jennifer |title=Justin Timberlake's Fooling 'Around' Resulted In Award-Nominated Song: Behind The Grammys |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1581045/20080206/timberlake_justin.jhtml

The latter then came up with a [[melody]] and lyrics. Timbaland was at their side and was adding drums into the progressing sound. With no written lyrics, Timberlake recorded it in the vocal booth that would become a song called "[[What Goes Around.../...Comes Around|What Goes Around]]". The collective was adding everything they felt was fitting to the song, and when done they teased each other until they decided to proceed onto making a new album. Timberlake responded to Timbaland: "Let's do something we would never do. Let's go far left and just see what happens."<ref name="Vineyard"/> Timbaland, who is creative according to Timberlake, took it as challenge.<ref name="Austin3"/>

Official production of ''FutureSex/LoveSounds'' started in December 2005. Timberlake proceeded sluggishly for a few weeks, working on and off in the studio. When production began, [[Jive Records]] president Barry Weiss asked him if when would the album be done. Timberlake replied: "I don't know, it could take a year."<ref name="Austin3"/> Timberlake did not recruit many musical collaborators because he was happy with his small cast, saying "they're heavy hitters".<ref name="Moss3">{{Cite news |last=Moss |first=Corey |title=Justin Timberlake 'In A Good Place' With His Collabos |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1521577/20060125/timberlake_justin.jhtml |work=MTV News |date=2006-01-25 |accessdate=2008-05-27}}</ref> In three weeks time, the collective was able to create songs like "[[My Love (Justin Timberlake song)|My Love]]", "[[SexyBack]]", and "Sexy Ladies".<ref name="Austin5">{{Cite web |last=Austin |first=Scaggs |title=Justin Timberlake Revs Up His Sex Machine (Part 5) |url=http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/11514699/cover_story_justin_timberlake_revs_up_his_sex_machine/5 |work=Rolling Stone |date=2006-09-06 |accessdate=2008-05-27}}</ref> In early January 2006, Timberlake and the producers were able to compose over a dozen of songs.<ref name="Austin">{{Cite web |last=Austin |first=Scaggs |title=Justin Timberlake Revs Up His Sex Machine (Part 1) |url=http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/11514699/cover_story_justin_timberlake_revs_up_his_sex_machine |work=Rolling Stone |date=2006-09-06 |accessdate=2008-05-27}}</ref> Timbaland, the veteran among his collaborators, produced the majority of the album, while ''Justified''-co-producer [[the Neptunes]] were not able to work with Timberlake again because of a dispute between them and Jive Records.<ref name="Moss3"/> The title of the album was not yet conceptualized although release date was already slated.

{{disambig-cleanup}}
With no concrete plans, however, Timberlake's goal of the album was "'to capture moments' with a vivid, raw, off-the-cuff sound".<ref name="Moss5"/> They described the sessions as free-flowing. Timberlake, who included record production in his repertoire,<ref name="Moss3"/> managed the process with no formula. On songs like "SexyBack", they would go around the studio coming up with beats. Timberlake referred to their selves as "looking like a mad man, a mad scientist".<ref name="Vineyard"/> The collective thought the album best equated to [[Michael Jackson]]'s landmark record, ''[[Thriller (album)|Thriller]]'', dubbing it as ''FS/LS Thriller 2006''—Timberlake is a fan of Jackson and even name drops Jackson in the song "Chop Me Up".<ref name="Moss5"/>


[[de:ED]]
The album's lyrics were never written down on paper,<ref name="Vineyard"/> as Timberlake claimed it would only slow him down.<ref name="Moss"/> For instance, the lyrics for "What Goes Around" were composed in his head with the song being recorded shortly after.<ref name="Vineyard2"/> Some songs were conceptualized within a relatively short time, while others took longer because Timberlake wanted to do some tricks.<ref name="Vineyard"/> For instance, the lyrics to "Losing My Way" were written in a more narrative style which took Timberlake longer to write. The only song he wrote down on paper was "(Another Song) All Over Again", a collaboration Timberlake did with record producer [[Rick Rubin]]. Rubin felt it was unusual for Timberlake because he requested him to write the lyrics before going in the studio instead of hitting it directly in the vocal booth.<ref name="Vineyard"/> The idea of teaming up with Rubin emanated from actor [[Chris Rock]], who recommended him to Timberlake. He considered the idea good and, when he saw Rubin at [[Coachella, California]], United States, he approached him and talked over the idea.<ref name="Moss2"/> Timberlake went to [[Neil Diamond]]'s studio and Rubin played him some demos, one of which a [[ballad (music)|ballad]] that became "(Another Song) All Over Again". Timberlake felt that this song challenged him to better his songwriter skill.<ref name="Moss5"/>

With ''FutureSex/LoveSounds'', Timberlake wanted to play [[rock & roll]] instead of the [[contemporary R&B|R&B]] and [[pop music|pop]] [[genre]]s he combined in ''Justified''.<ref name="Austin4"/> Besides bands like [[The Strokes]], [[The Killers]], [[Arcade Fire]], and [[Radiohead]],<ref name="Austin4"/> he wanted to channel the English rock band [[Coldplay]] whom he deemed serious in their music.<ref name="Vineyard"/> As major producer of the album, Timbaland retreated from the idea because he was not accustomed to that kind of music. However, he was thinking of making only a handful of such songs to be tested since they were afraid if they might alienate the urban fan base Timberlake had gathered since his debut album. Timbaland recalled, "We just can't go the Coldplay route."<ref name="Vineyard"/> Enabling them to do it, they produced several interludes and reprises instead of full songs. They anticipated if Timberlake's fans would be irritated or intrigued.<ref name="Vineyard"/>

==Music and lyrics==
[[nl:ED]]
''FutureSex/LoveSounds'' is musically distinct from ''Justified''.<ref name="Moss2"/> Although "What Goes Around"'s sound is relatively similar to ''Justified'', Timberlake said that it is the only closest song to the album.<ref name="Vineyard"/> Timberlake called the music of the album a "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of style.<ref name="Moss2"/> "It's less concentrated to [sic] one sound. It's more broad as far as the styles I wanted to mix in to my own type of thing."<ref name="Moss2"/> Many of the songs were composed with varied [[instrumentation (music)|instrumentation]],<ref name="Moss"/> but predominantly used guitar and piano.<ref name="Moss2"/>
[[ja:ED]]

[[no:ED]]
Since ''Justified'', Timberlake has wanted to be recognized as an R&B artist because it was the kind of music he grew up listening to. When his debut album was released to positive reviews, Timberlake reflected, "OK, well I'm not an R&B artist, I'm a pop artist, so I'm just going to go wherever I want to go."<ref name="Moss4"/> His admiration to rock icons is evident in ''FutureSex/LoveSounds''. Timberlake said the influence English rock musician [[David Bowie]] and late [[INXS]] frontman Australian singer-songwriter [[Michael Hutchence]] had on him is reflected in the album. He admired these rock bands because he felt that "they were capturing something raw and unrehearsed".<ref name="Moss5"/>
[[pt:Ed]]

[[ksh:ED (Watt ėßß datt?)]]
''FutureSex/LoveSounds'' generally contains songs with sexual innuendo and themes of love. The album, if summarized, "...is about the very nature of how sex and love are interchangeable and immutable and contradictory and complementary all at once, so that the same words mean different things depending on what music is played or what mood is set."<ref name="Vineyard3">{{Cite news |last=Vineyard |first=Jennifer |title=Justin's Album Shows Off Two Sides: Over-The-Top Saucy, Unassumingly Sweet |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1539749/20060829/timberlake_justin.jhtml |work=MTV News |date=2006-08-29 |accessdate=2008-05-27}}</ref> Timberlake said that songs in the album were motivated by these two recurring themes. The first half of the album, the FutureSex, generally focuses on sex. For instance, the track "FutureSex/LoveSound" is sexually suggestive. Other sensual songs like "I Think She Knows" contain lyrics "She's going home with me tonight" and in "Damn Girl", "from Casanova to supernova".<ref name="Vineyard3"/> The second half, LoveSounds, is the album's "sweet side" and this is evident in some of the preludes.<ref name="Vineyard3"/> "What Goes Around", for instance, is an emotional song; "[[LoveStoned]]" transitions to a two-minute love songs. Although the album has lyrical themes, it is completely un-autobiographical. The only song which hints of Timberlake's own experiences is "What Goes Around". Its lyrics suggests a sequel to "Cry Me a River", but Timberlake closed the speculation himself, declaring that the song was written about one of his friends, who had gone through a similar situation.<ref name="Moss5"/> Although sex and love are dominant in the entire album, the song "Losing My Way" diverges to a more serious topic; this song was inspired by a [[Documentary film|documentary]] of a crystal [[Methamphetamine|meth]] addiction which Timberlake watched.<ref name="Vineyard3"/>

A review from the US daily newspaper ''[[The New York Times]]'' reads: "How well do Mr. Timberlake and Timbaland work together? So well that they can make even the world's most irritating percussion instrument, the human beatbox, sound pretty good."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Critic's Choice: New CD |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/11/arts/music/11choi.html? |work=The New York Times |date=2006-09-11 |accessdate=2008-05-26}}</ref> On the October 2006 issue of the ''[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]'' magazine, a reviewer says, "Timberlake and Timbaland[...]write frustratingly awkward songs."<ref name="Critic">{{Cite web |title=FutureSex / LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake |url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/timberlakejustin/futuresexlovesounds |work=Metacritic |accessdate=2008-05-26}}</ref> Nevertheless, other aspects of the album was praised by some critics. On the October 2006 issue of the British [[music magazine]] ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'', a review states, "[The album is a] set of forward-thinking pop reminiscent of ''[[Sign o' the Times (album)|Sign O' The Times]]''-era [[Prince (musician)|Prince]]."<ref name="Critic"/> Ben Williams of the ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'' magazine praised Timberlake as one of the white singers who is brave for producing black music.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Williams |first=Ben |title=The Men Who Would Be Prince |url=http://nymag.com/arts/popmusic/reviews/20314/ |work=[[New York (magazine)|New York]] |date=2006-09-11 |accessdate=2008-05-26}}</ref> Stephen Thomas Erlewine of the online music database [[Allmusic]] commented that Timberlake has "a clear musical vision" in the album.<ref name="Allmusic"/> Katy Kroll of the music magazine ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' says: "Although the mix of dance beats, pounding basslines and palatable vocals is occasionally marred by mundane R&B tracks like "Until the End of Time," there are far more pop gems than slow jams. The sound may be a bit different, but the music's sex appeal remains a force to be reckoned with."<ref name="Billboard"/> Robert Christgau of the ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine commented that although "some of the up-tempo stuff flirts with mechanical muscle-flexing", Timberlake's "best new tracks are thrilling".<ref name="Rollingstone"/>
