"The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2" is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake, released on September 27, 2013, by RCA Records. It serves as the second half of a two-part project, following The 20/20 Experience (2013).
The album features a blend of pop, R&B, and soul, showcasing Timberlake's signature sound. Its lead single, "Take Back the Night," was released on July 12, 2013. Upon its release, the album received mixed reviews from critics, who noted its ambition and musicality but had varying opinions on its cohesiveness compared to the first installment.
"Not a Bad Thing" became a notable hit, reaching the top ten on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart. The track "Drink You Away" later made its way to Country radio in November 2015 after Timberlake's performance at the Country Music Association Awards.
The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 was also packaged with the first part as The 20/20 Experience – The Complete Experience, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album.
In September 2006, Justin Timberlake released his second studio album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, which achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. The album featured six singles, including major hits like "SexyBack," "My Love," and "What Goes Around... Comes Around." Following a successful worldwide concert tour in 2007 to promote the album, Timberlake took a break from music to focus on his acting career.
During this hiatus, he established Tennman Records in 2007 and his production team, The Y's, in 2008. Timberlake also collaborated with other artists, providing guest vocals on popular singles such as "4 Minutes" by Madonna and "Carry Out" by Timbaland, maintaining his presence in the music industry even while pursuing acting.
