February 16:
Justin Timberlake, and
Trolls soundtrack producers Shellback and Max Martin attended a special Variety and AARP Movies for Grownups screening in L.A.
During the special event, Justin opened up about his son. "I had a son. It really affected me. It influenced me and I felt like I wanted to make something that I could share with him. I guess if I’d die from anything, it may be from pride after having a child. So to be able to share this with him anytime the song comes on the radio or in the car... or sometimes you get a request. He says, ‘Daddy singing,’ and you’re like, ‘Huh, I think I have something in my eye.’ There was a lot of serendipity for me as an artist, actor, producer, and singer/songwriter. And I still aspire to all of those things, to be the best that I can at all of those things. And then you have this personal note that comes with it and I think that changed it for me. It really had an influence on why this came out the way it did."
