Justin Timberlake, What Goes Around... Comes Around

Justin did a great job after departuring from his band, What Goes Around and My love are always the songs with me for years to enjoy! Never fell tired! Hope he will have more fantastic music in the near future!

The video is like a film!!!! It's interesting to watch!!! The song is quite long tho but I'm not complaining at all! the more of Justin the better! Love this song! I'm a really big Justin Timberlake fan I think hes amazing! i actually heard this song while i was in hospital and it was played quite a lot on the music channels and it kinda made my day!!!

What Goes Around Comes Around has good meaning, good effects and like the burlesque type theme. Love it.

Co-produced by good friends Timbaland (Timothy Mosely), and colleague Danja (Nate Hills), What Goes Around Comes Around has been described by many highly-regarded critics as the second version of "Cry me a River", including myself. Reviewer Bill Lamb stated that the song "is one of the most gorgeous pop melodies of the year."

To analyse the structure, it's theme, mode and tune are similar to "Cry me a River", the only difference being a superior sound-quality, a different instrumentation and a more catchy motif, played at the beginning on the "oud", a middle-eastern instrument sampled by Timbaland. As a scholar of Hinduism, I can say that Timberlake portrays the idea of Karma, through the use of lyrics, and the song describes revenge by nature on his former flame, his girl.

The song is much better than its predecessors, "SexyBack" and "My Love", and it shows Justin Timberlake's maturity through his music. The music video can be described as an almost MJ's Thriller, as it is a short movie, with some chilling scenes, yet a realistic setting. Starring JT, and sexy actress Scarlett Johansson as well as Alpha Dog co-star Shawn Hatosy, the video portrays the idea of karma through the car-crash, in which Ms Johansson is brutally killed.

Justin, the greatest pop icon today, has done it again, three number 1's in a row, and a great album. Who knows...can Justin take Usher's place as the "Prince of Pop"?

Track 6 of Justin Timberlake's second album FutureSex/LoveSounds, "What Goes Around... Comes Around", is a beautiful blend of guitar and violin instrumentals and traditional percussion beats of modern pop. The song could be classified as a typical Justin Timberlake story of relationships -- this song detailing one with a former love that went wrong due to her deception and infidelity and how in the end karma places her in the same situation an unfaithful partner. The song opens with "What Goes Around..." where Justin descibes how the relationship ended and concludes with how karma returns in "...Comes Around" featuring the infamous producer and co-writer Timbaland.

The song has been referred to as a sequel to "Cry Me A River", from Justin's debut solo album Justified (2002), which many have suggested was written about his failed relationship with pop princess Britney Spears. Despite the uncanny similarity in the lyrical content of the two songs, there is something distinctly different about the feel of "What Goes Around... Comes Around". The production of this song, and moreso the entire album, is unlike anything you may have heard in Justified. The talent and experience of Timbaland has really made an indelible impression on not only this song, but all other nine songs on which they collaborated for the album.

"What Goes Around... Comes Around" has been released in three countries outside the U.S., including Germany and the UK. Since it's release in November of 2006, the song has topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 ( March 3, 2007) , and managed to place in the top 5 on at least three other singles charts globally, including the UK Singles Chart (#4), US Billboard Pop 100 (#1), and U.S. Billboard Top 40 Mainstream (#2).

The song has already been heralded by many as one of the best pop melodies of 2007.
