Did Justin Timberlake's 'Don't Slack' song predict the coronavirus lockdown? He answers on 'The Tonight Show'
Jimmy Fallon is trying his best to bring joy into the lives of people as the talk show host decided to film 'The Tonight Show' from him home amid coronavirus outbreak. The viewers got a chance to see Justin Timberlake as he quarantines at his home. The singer came on the show to promote his 'Trolls World Tour' that would also be available for people to watch online.
While the two started the conversation going down the memory lane and recalling how they became friends, the conversation ended with Fallon talking about Timberlake's hit song, 'Don't slack'. The song shows Timberlake and the band singing the song in the living room of Andra Kendrick, who plays the character of a woman who needs her spirits lifted.
Timberlake admitted that Kendrick was the perfect choice for the video because of her personality. While the song was a hit among everyone, one thing that people could not stop talking about was how the song was recorded in the living room. Timberlake revealed that he had received many messages from people who asked him if the song was filmed after they were asked to quarantine themselves.
Meanwhile, others messaged him talking about the coincidence of the song released at a time when people stuck at home just like Kendrick's character is. Timberlake admitted that the idea behind the song was to have a character who is feeling low but is surrounded by her imaginary friends who are there to lift her spirits.
He added that the song was directed to people of all age groups and hoped that it would bring in a feel-good mood among everyone. He admitted that the release of the song came during an interesting time and hinted that could be the reason why many associated it with the pandemic.
Regardless of this, there is no doubt that the song makes everyone get up and groove to its music. Timberlake also pointed out the amazing cast that is there in the 'Trolls World Tour' while adding that it is a wide range of cast that drives people of different age groups to come together and enjoy the movie.
