You may have been under the impression that you knew exactly what Justin Timberlake's 2006 hit song "SexyBack" was about, but unfortunately you'd be quite wrong.
Timberlake appeared recently on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where, nestled on a blanket beneath the stars, he revealed the true inspiration.
"Sexy was actually just the name of my neighbour's rabbit," he says in the clip. "You see, they were in Nebraska for the weekend, and I was pet-sitting. But they were worried I wouldn't return the rabbit. So I wanted to assure them, via song, that I was indeed bringing Sexy back.
"I mean if you listen closely, it's all in the lyrics."
It all makes so much sense now.
