About Rock Your Body
"Rock Your Body" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his debut studio album, Justified (2002). Timberlake co-wrote the song with its producers, The Neptunes (consisting of Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams). Jive Records released the track on April 8, 2003 as the third single from Justified. Originally intended to be featured on Michael Jackson's tenth studio album Invincible (2001), Jackson rejected the song along with several other tracks, which were instead given to Timberlake for his debut album. It is an uptempo, disco groove, soul infused song containing influences from Jackson and Stevie Wonder. The song received generally positive reviews, with music critics noting it as a stand-out track, while complimenting its musical elements. "Rock Your Body" topped the Australian Singles Chart. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and became the third single from Justified to do so, following "Like I Love You" and "Cry Me a River". It also charted at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of 500,000 and 400,000 copies, respectively.more »
