The “Cry Me a River” singer shed some light on the song during an appearance with fellow *NSYNC band members on “Hot Ones.”
He explained to “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans that he was instructed to sing “May” instead of “me.” He said that he worked with Swedish producers and co-writers who often unintentionally created catchier lyrics due to having a slight language barrier.
“The parts of their English that were broken actually made them catchier songwriters because they would put words in a way that almost didn’t make sense, but when you sang them, they were more memorable,” he said. He named producer and writer Max Martin as one of the producers who influenced his “May” pronunciation.
Timberlake then joked that he had predicted 20 years ago that his pronunciation of “May” would become a meme one day.Spring Summer 2020. Thanks for this, Internet.
