"FutureSex/LoveSounds" is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake, released on September 8, 2006, by Jive Records and Zomba. After a three-year writing break, Timberlake collaborated with producer Timbaland and Danja to create the album at Thomas Crown Studios. Compared to Timberlake's debut album Justified (2002), FutureSex/LoveSounds incorporates a broader range of genres, including techno, electro-funk, trance, and rock, and features reprises and interludes alongside its full tracks.
The album received widespread acclaim for its eclectic sound and diverse influences. It produced six successful singles, including three US Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits: "SexyBack," "My Love," and "What Goes Around... Comes Around." Additionally, "Summer Love" contributed to the album having four number-one hits on the US Mainstream Top 40. It is frequently cited as one of the best albums of the 2000s, appearing on numerous best-of-the-decade lists and receiving several Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. The album has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, with four million in the US, and has been certified multi-platinum in several countries.
FutureSex/LoveSounds is also included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's musical library and archive and is regarded as one of Timberlake's best works. To promote the album, Timberlake launched the FutureSex/LoveShow tour, which was one of the highest-grossing tours of 2007.
