"Can't Stop The Feeling"
[Verse 1:]
I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric, wavey when I turn it on
All through my city, all through my home
We're flying up, no ceiling, when we're in our zone
[Pre-chorus 1:]
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it, so don't stop
[Chorus:]
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
[Post-chorus 1:]
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
[Verse 2:]
Ooh, it's something magical
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushing on
Don't need no reason, don't need control
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone
[Pre-chorus 2:]
'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it, so don't stop
[Chorus:]
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
[Post-chorus 2:]
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So keep dancing, come on
[Bridge:]
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the feeling
[Chorus:]
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling)
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
(I can't stop the feeling)
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling)
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
[Post-chorus 3:]
Everybody sing
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Wanna see you move your body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
Break it down
Got this feeling in my body
Can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body, come on
The sunny song, which arrived a few minutes after midnight, has the potential to be a contender for the song of the summer. In the video he released with the song, he's in the studio with his fellow cast members from Dreamworks' forthcoming film, Trolls (including Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Kunal Nayyar, Gwen Stefani and Icona Pop). He was tapped to pen and perform new songs for the animated movie, and he will also voice the character Branch. The film is scheduled to open on November 4th.
"I got that sunshine in my pocket, got that good soul in my feet," he sings."I feel that hot blood in my body, when it drops, ooh! I can't take my eyes up off it."
"So don't stop/Under the lights when everything goes/Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close/When we move you well already know, so just imagine/Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance," the song beckons. "Can't stop the feeling, so just dance, dance, dance."
Timberlake first teased "Can't Stop the Feeling" Wednesday night. The track marks a comparatively quick turn around for the singer, who famously took seven years between his 2006 LP, FutureSex/LoveSounds, and 2013's two-part The 20/20 Experience.
On Thursday, leading up to the song's release, Timberlake teased the song on Twitter, posting numerous GIFs of himself and others dancing in a studio. He also shared a snippet of the song as a "first listen," which turned out to be culled from the video above that also featured the cast members getting their groove on to the song.
While he had recently hinted at a potential country direction, posting a photo of himself working with Little Big Town, the bouncy track is more indicative of his pop output, which he has also alluded to in recent social media posts. About a month ago, he posted a different photo onInstagram of himself in the studio with Pharrell Williams, whom he hasn't worked with since his 2002 solo debut, Justified (produced almost entirely by the Neptunes).
Last month, Timberlake presented the Best Tour gong to Taylor Swift during the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards and, after Prince passed away,Timberlake penned a heartfelt tribute.

Nate Chinen from The New York Times wrote "Timberlake is on firm footing here, gliding over a disco-pop beat and urging all comers to catch the spirit." Jon Niles from Music Times wrote: "The song gives off a feeling of pure joy that only a talent as great as Timberlake could bring to the table."[16] For Lisa Respers France of CNN Entertainment, "If Friday had a sound, it would be Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!"." Ed Masley wrote in AZCentral "the lyrics sound like they were custom-made to be the soundtrack to your favorite summer memories."[18] For the A.V. Club, Annie Zaleski wrote "a perfect summer song is one I can blast while driving in the car with the windows down. The tune doesn’t have to be meaningful—in fact, the more lightweight, the better—and it should offer a few minutes of unadulterated escapism. This year, I can already tell that “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” is my hot-weather jam." The A.V. Club included it among the 40 best songs of 2016 (first half).
In June 2016, Billboard named it the wedding DJs' 4th most popular party song in the US.

Music video

The song's official music video was released on May 16, 2016. Helmed by director Mark Romanek, the "Can't Stop the Feeling!" video follows Timberlake on a tour to everyday places like a laundromat, diner, barbershop and a donut shop, with an individual dancing along to the single at every stop. All the revelers eventually end up congregating with Timberlake below a highway underpass where they dance together to the song. As described by Time editor Cady Lang, Timberlake "dances through what a typical day might be: breakfast at the diner and grocery shopping." Talking to Entertainment Weekly, director Mark Romanek described the concept as "just the overall feeling of unironic and sincere humanism. It’s not trying to be cool or slick or ironic. It’s just fun. Most of the time, people are excellent. It’s just a big sugar cookie. It makes people smile for four minutes." He stated the brief dance-off between Timberlake and aninflatable arm waving tube man was inspired by Gene Kelly dancing with Jerry the mouse in Anchors Aweigh. Bustle writer Amy Mackelden highlighted the scene as the best moment of the video.Esquire editor Jonathan Evans addressed Timberlake's monochromatic outfit, writing "the singer nails it by playing with shades of the color [white], plus throwing some pattern and texture in the mix."
The release of the song was followed by numerous fan-made videos, which also includes The Memphis Grizzlies, the United States Olympic Committee, citizens of Memphis, Gilbert, graduates of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, among others. On May 26, 2016, theVictoria's Secret Angels released a video in which they lip-synced to "Can't Stop the Feeling!".
