• Jimmy M from LondonGreat song
• P"Take it to the bridge" and "Take it to the bridge" introducing those sections.
• Thefutureofsexy from CanadaKidding, but honestly the person who said this was not an original song is crazy. This was 100% an original song, written in one day with Justin, Timberland and Danja. The entire beat was original, the entire lyrics are original. He even goes into detail on where lyrics came from. He was trying to picture himself in the coolest club ever, with lesbian, gay, and hot people everywhere, all the coolest kids, and he wanted to say the most audacious thing he could think of. Something so over the top that it would get people saying it just out of humor. and came up with "I'm brining sexy back.". It is 100% Justine... and if you ever saw him riff off other musicians, seen him do that with Black Eyed Peas, they didn't even plan a gig together, but Justine wanted to meet and hang them so flew down that day and just showed up on stage and they just jammed and make up dances and music four hours, and Justine can just make music at will on the fly that it is amazing, Never seen anything like it before from any set of musicians. So, to say Justine rips his stuff off is just ignorant...
• Siahara Shyne Carter from United StatesMy bad 'Auto Correct' misspelled ITS "PHYSCHOSOCIAL" not physchic x
• Siahara Shyne Carter from United StatesSomeone created a Paradoy of this song. sexyback ft. physchic by: Slipknot! It's not funny but COOL SO HARDCORE!!! I want to kill someone now Lol jokin''''
• Commonly from UnknownKimmie, I'd hate to burst your bubble but here... https://secondhandsongs.com/performance/88018 if the link thing doesn't work then search Second Hand Songs Sexyback by Corinne Bailey Rae. Second Hamd Songs is a website that finds the original song from the cover you listened to.
• Donna from Ft. Lauderdale, FlI was once dining in a restaurant some years back when someone's cell phone went off. The ringtone was loud and clear, for all to hear: "I'm bringing sexy back..(YEAH)...!" Everyone chuckled.
• Skip from Colchester, VtKimmie from Malaysia, that is a cover...check your knowledge.
• Cassandra from Kalispell,In one interview Justin Timberlake said he wrote this song after being stopped by a fan in airport. The fan told him that he needed to bring sexyback and Justin Timberlake with his funny humer said alright and started writing lyrics for "Sexyback"...In the lyrics he even says "I'm bringing sexy back..."
• Kimmie from Petaling Jaya, MalaysiaHate to burst your bubble, but Justin Timberlake didn't come up with the song. The original version is by Corinne Bailey. Justin Timberlake just 'updated' the song to make it sound more modern
• Shana from Casablanca, MoroccoI LOVE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
  And as for the song, it does promote a nice image of the concept of S&M,
  although i think that the song is not only about that..
  It's basically a male and female playin with each other's nerves is a sexual and of course hot manner
  Anyways, I love Justin Timberlake, and his sex-appeal
• Crystal from Fort Worth, TxThe jokes with song is numerous, but most are funny and I'm so glad Justin thought this song up!
• Kate from Burnaby, CanadaI can't help but like this song. It's intoxicating!
• Sum Sum from New DelhiThis song has a tinge of "S&M", very different. liked it while having sex..it actually peps up the play...thats it. try it out.
• Bob from Hippy, Cobilly is so right. if you guys have seen fabio, my pet llama, give me a call. i lost him last thursday at the mall. he has purple polka dots. he is a hippie llama. he doesn't like this song either, i asked him myself. i just thought i would let everyone know that fabio is missing. *tear* *sniff*
• Matthew from Milford, MaBilly scares me. Seriously, I used to think that the "Go ahead, be golden" line was "Go ahead, let's party." Sometimes, I seriously wish that it was the latter...
• Kristin from Yaphank, NyOh wow. Anyway, one of my favorite songs. This song definitely represents pop music.
• Dylan from Port Orange, FlWhat in the name of everything holy is a "hummer"?
• Sara from Traverse City, MiI like this song when I'm in the right mood in which I can actually deal with Justin Timberlakes voice, which is a very rare and often missed moment on his part.
• Mandie from Port Royal, Pai love the beat of this song
• Gavin from Sydney, Australiame thinks it would be lol
