Title: Justin Timberlake Opens Up About Marriage Struggles and New Music
Justin Timberlake sings on his new album about making “bad decisions” in his marriage and doing “some s**t I know won’t be forgiven”.
The singer, who has been wed to actress Jessica Biel since 2012, addresses tensions in their relationship on the record Everything I Thought It Was, which came out yesterday.
Marriage Troubles and Tensions in Lyrics
It is his first release since Justin, with Jessica above, was photographed holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright during a boozy night out in 2019. In the chorus of his track Conditions, he sings: “You want a hero, I don’t know where he went. I’m just a man, I’m gonna mess up again. Just a sinner out here tryin’ to repent.” There are similar themes on a track called Flame and another titled Alone, on which he sings: “Heartbreak, it’s the word right now. We took it all for granted and sorry don’t really work right now. “Guess I’m all out of chances, don’t even know where to search right now.”
Racy Lyrics and Controversial Songs
But apart from those moments of doom and gloom, Justin seems randier than ever in his other lyrics. Tracks such as Love And War and What Lovers Do are packed with racy lyrics, as is My Favorite Drug, where he sings about a sex position. The worst of all is Infinity Sex, on which he croons: “I don’t know you any more, as soon as all your clothes hit the floor. Pray this hotel room is insured. How many times? I stopped keeping score (I’m not sure). But if I had to guess, infinity sex, girl.” It’s a no from me.
