In December 2005, Timberlake began working on a second album, FutureSex/LoveSounds , a follow-up for Justified (2002). Within three weeks, "My Love" was one of the few songs recorded. In September 2006, Timberlake told Rolling Stone that the song was a "hip-hop ballad" and that the making process "took two hours to imagine and execute". While promoting the album in an interview with MTV News, Timberlake revealed that the second half of the album (including "My Love") focused on the love anthem. In another interview, he revealed that "My love" is "the contradiction of sound.You have this opera thing.If you take all the staccato sounds, the essence of the song is the ballad, but the way it is immortalized under the vowel, it becomes a percussion ballad. "

In a discussion of T.I's participation on the track, Timberlake said: "The second hook finished and I said, 'Oh, a rapper would sound good for this.'" Timbaland, who co-wrote and produced the song, approved the idea and suggested T.I. Timberlake approved of the idea, though he doubted T.I. will say yes, and say that he is grateful that T.I. agree to take part.

Timberlake revealed in 2013 that he originally asked the rapper JAY-Z (Who he would collaborate extensively in his later career) to appear on the track before T.I. "I want to do a recording with him on FutureSex/LoveSounds ..." he explains "... and he at that time had made a note with Beyoncà © ©, it was' DÃÆ'  © jÃÆ' Vu. 'And he said - respectfully, I can not knock him for saying like I have this one feature, I think he is working on his own music too so he does not want too much stuff And I say, "I really respect that. I certainly will not go into any household. It's your wife. "But the note is 'My Love.' And that's an exciting blessing in disguise because I think Tip for that note - I mean the phrase is phenomenal. "

Jacqui Swift from The Sun writes that the song "begins with a loud percussion sound before it launches into the chorus over and over over and over again".

In July 2006, The Observer Music Monthly interviewed Timberlake and stated that the song was "practically album 'Cry Me a River'." In response, Timberlake said, "It's similar.You're back to Aaliyah's biggest note, 'Are You That Somebody' - it's similar to that too because it's a percussion ballad." When asked about the lyrics, "There is only one thing I need from you: say I do," to autobiography, he says no, adding that the line before that, "this ring here represents my heart", is about marriage and love. Timberlake states, "It's not about marriage, it's about a humble approach to love, nothing autobiographical, though it's obvious I have an interesting experience."

Critical reception

In the album's The New York Times album review, Kelefa Sanneh critic wrote: "... 'My Love', a fancy collaboration with IT rappers Starting with 90 seconds 'prelude', a rhythmic pulse song with a little tone and melody rhythm, then the real thing sounds: chords synthesizers punctuated by a small burst of silence. "Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine writes that the song" mixes Bob's beatboxing skills with pride, with a colossal futuristic sync swing and crazy cartoon cheeriness , which repeats ad infinitum a la crying baby from Aaliyah 'Are You That Somebody?' ". Matthew Gasteier of the magazine Prefix notes that the song "may be a prominent victory here, with a deep-fading synt and a fading in-fade beat that may be the best of Timbaland". Lauren Murphy from entertainment.ie stated that the single "can not be denied fluid and showcases some of the nicest slo-mo effects around". Jonah Weiner of Blood magazine called the song "prominent" from the album and wrote that the single "... straddles the tempo of FutureSex and balladeering LoveSounds > part - one coos about dog love on stroboscopic, another saliva, and second trade piety on chorus ".

"My Love" was criticized for some of the lyrics and sounds featured. Sanneh reports that Timberlake "wasted his clunky pickup line" with the lyrics "If I said you were beautiful/Did you date me regularly?". Murphy contemplates that the song was "finally destroyed" by the strange "Frog-meet-Laughing-Ironmaning underlay". Emily Vaughan from North by the Northwestern commented that Timberlake claims to have traveled the world twice in "My Love" and "Damn Girl" and that she also "runs out of creative ways to say she wants you to go to bed with her ". Vaughan, however, is positive to "My Love", stating that the song, along with "What Goes Around.../... Comes Around", sounds very different from the rest of the album.

VH1 Emily Exton in the 2013 article said that in Timberlake's song "re-create mainstream pop music and increase its artistic credibility at the same time, this song is more futuristic than others." In an article on the Timberlake catalog in 2016, the Idolator staff declared the song "one of the basic texts of the PBR & B blast in 2010," also tracking cyborgs, slo-mo rave, and falsetto weak "This is the midpoint between the Aaliyah space futurism and the touch of Ginuwine, and the robo-blues that will emerge with 808s & Heartbreak ." They conclude that since the "broken" music becomes a chart-topper , it opens the door for artists like The Weeknd "to hit big with something as scary as" The Hills "almost a decade later."
