Senorita
Justin Timberlake · 2002Recorded for Justified in Virginia Beach, Virginia, at Master Sound Recording Studios and Windmark Recording with The Neptunes; Andrew Coleman handled recording, Serban Ghenea mixed the track, and Pharrell Williams provided additional vocals. As the opening track on Timberlake’s debut solo album, it introduced the Neptunes-led sound that defined Justified and drew strong notice for its immediate hook and call-and-response arrangement. Contemporary reviews singled out its attention-grabbing introduction and distinctive groove. The song remained a recurring live set piece across Timberlake’s tours and concert releases, helping anchor his post-*NSYNC solo identity well beyond its original release. Its enduring reputation rests on its status as one of the signature Neptunes collaborations from Justified.
