"Summer Love" is a song by American recording artist Justin Timberlake from his second studio album FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006). The song was released as the fourth single from the album in April 2007. It was co-written and co-produced by Timberlake, along with Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley and Nate "Danja" Hills. The song was produced following Timberlake's two-year hiatus from the music industry; when he felt "burnt out" after the release of his debut solo album Justified in 2002. "Summer Love" is a dance-pop song about "wanting to fall in love with the lusty seasonal lover".[1] Its instrumentation consists of keyboards, drums, guitars, pianos and handclaps.
"Summer Love" received generally positive reviews from music critics; with some comparing it to his work with his former group 'N Sync. "Summer Love" reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Billboard Pop Songs chart. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over one million units. The song also peaked at the top 10 in Belgium and Canada. "Summer Love" was included in the set list of Timberlake's second world tour FutureSex/LoveShow in 2007,[2] as well as Legends of the Summer Stadium Tour with rapper Jay-Z (2013), The 20/20 Experience World Tour (2013/15), The Man of the Woods Tour (2018/19) and The Forget Tomorrow World Tour (2024).[3]
