Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River”
Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears were one of pop’s hottest young couples but that ended when she cheated on him and broke his heart. Timberlake was just leaving the boy band group N’Sync and preparing to embark on a solo career. He channeled the emotions from suffering from a broken heart and put it in his music. “Cry Me A River” was the stand out track on Timberlake’s solo album and it was about a guy getting over his cheating ex-girlfriend. JT even enlisted a Britney Spears lookalike for the video.
