”When Britney and I were a couple, she went to the hair salon and said she’d be back in a couple hours. When she got there she decided to get a manicure and a pedicure, and wasn’t back for five hours. That [gave me] the idea for the song…this idea of ‘I wonder what it would feel like…to miss someone like that?’ It’s funny, because if you listen to the lyrics now, ‘Maybe I was too blind to see that you needed a change.”’ — A now-solo JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, pondering the all-too-relevant words he wrote for ‘N Sync’s ”Gone,” on MTV.com
