[edit] History
Timberlake's verse was rumored to be about fellow singer Janet Jackson, with whom Timberlake was involved in the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy. MTV News reported that "A source close to the record said that Timberlake's lyrics have nothing to do with his infamous Super Bowl co-star — but he is responding to another pop artist who has seen career heights few other singers can boast."[1] This has led to further rumours that Timberlake's verse is actually aimed towards pop rock legend Prince.
In an interview with MTV Timbaland revealed the target of his verse to be producer Scott Storch, with whom he co-wrote Timberlake's 2002 single "Cry Me a River." Storch has since claimed that he helped produce the song and did not receive due credit.[2]
The song officially premiered on 102.7 KIIS-FM in Los Angeles on January 16, 2007, when Timbaland made an appearance on the On Air with Ryan Seacrest morning show. The single was released on U.S. radio on February 6, 2007, according to allaccess.com. Radio play in major markets such as Phoenix, Dallas, and Boston started in late January. The song debuted at number eighty-seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in February 2007.[3]
On February 26, the music video for "Give it to Me" was premiered on MTV's Total Request Live. It shows Timbaland, Furtado, and Timberlake performing the song at the 2007 Grammys pre-show concert, and includes clips from inside Timbaland's tour bus. On the same day, in response to the song, Scott Storch released a diss towards Timbaland called "Built like Dat" featuring Nox.
