Justin Timberlake, in August 2002, after months of recording Justified, his debut solo album, he performed at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, where he premiered his first single, "Like I Love You," a sparse dance track produced by The Neptunes.
Like I Love You song reached number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100. Following the single, Timberlake released Justified on November 5, 2002.
Justified album sold fewer copies than previous 'N Sync efforts. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 album chart, selling 439,000 copies in its first week of release. Justified eventually went on to sell more than three million copies in the U.S. and more than seven million copies worldwide.
Justified album also received critical acclaim, thanks to its heavy R&B influence provided by hip-hop producers The Neptunes and Timbaland. It spun off hits throughout late 2002 and 2003, including the top ten singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body."
