The music video famously features Timbaland "spinning" the song on a turntable while the band plays. There is no Justin Timberlake in the video. There never was. Yet, the myth persists so strongly that even today, on YouTube and Spotify comments sections for the song, you will see thousands of comments saying, "I can't believe this isn't Justin Timberlake." download it 39-s too late to apologize by justin timberlake
