JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE had to adopt an 'in-your-face' attitude when releasing his song SEXYBACK in order to make it convincing.
The 25-year-old knew he would be savaged by critics if he couldn't pull off the song's sultry vibe.
He explains, "If you make a record like that, you have to say, 'Yeah, I'm doing it - deal with it!' You kind of have to grab your balls."
The song was a huge hit and even became a part of popular culture with former US Vice President AL GORE referencing it during the MTV Video Music Awards saying, "MTV explained to me that Justin Timberlake is bringing sexy back, so here I am."
Timberlake adds, "That felt cool to me. But it's like, 'God, I don't want to be known as the SexyBack guy.' That's when you know it's time to release your second single."
