Justin Timberlake's album is permeated with the atmosphere of his early work, especially the time of his participation in the boy band 'N SYNC, where he began his career at the age of fourteen, and also recalls his first solo album, "Justified". The sound of the record with funky bass, clear rhythms and catchy melodies takes us back to the golden era of pop music in the early 2000s, when Timberlake was called the "Prince of Pop". Tracks like “Paradise” (featuring NSYNC) and “Sanctified” (featuring Tobe Nwigwe) evoke nostalgic feelings in listeners.

Timberlake, who is married with two children, opens up about his thoughts on love, marriage, and family values. Songs like “Selfish” and “Drown” explore the complexities of romantic relationships, while tracks like “Infinity Sex” and “Technicolor” showcase a more sensual and passionate side of the musician. The album is not without its moments of introspection, as Timberlake shares his mistakes, lessons learned, and how he has grown as a person. Songs like “No Angels” and “Memphis” show a more vulnerable and introspective side of the artist.

Everything I Thought It Was impresses with its variety of guest artists, which gives the album layers and depth. The return of the legendary group NSYNC on the track "Paradise" became one of the most anticipated events of the album. This long-awaited return to the roots pleased fans and reminded them of the heyday of boy bands. Timberlake was once invited by his colleagues to perform together, but he said that he had outgrown their music. Rapper Tobe Nwigwe adds his unique energy to the composition "Sanctified", creating a powerful duet. The beginning of the song reveals a hero with a wild nature, comparing himself to an animal from the wild; the composition explores themes of salvation and forgiveness.

Nigerian singer Fireboy DML brings Afrobeat rhythms to the track "Liar", adding an international sound to the album. This track has already won the award for "Best International Music Feature" at the "African Arts Entertainment Award".
