On this day in 2002, Justin Timberlake made his solo debut with “Like I Love You.”
Produced by The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo), the track blended slick R&B with hip-hop flair, featuring rap verses from Clipse. The music video, filmed in California, showed JT dancing on a street corner in Fairfax and inside a 7-Eleven, instantly cementing his star power outside of *NSYNC. Fans and critics alike praised the single’s fresh sound, and it quickly climbed the charts, proving Timberlake was ready to carve his own lane in pop.
