"I'm Lovin' It" was released as a tie-in with a McDonald's advertising campaign, becoming one of the earliest and most successful examples of a major artist lending their name and music to a fast-food marketing push.

• The single was co-written by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, who also produced it.
• "I'm Lovin' It" reached number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.
• The song's ubiquitous advertising jingle, adapted from the single, became one of McDonald's most recognizable slogans.

Justin Timberlake is a pop and R&B singer from Memphis, Tennessee, who rose to fame in the late 1990s as the frontman for NSYNC. By 2003, Timberlake had established himself as a solo artist with his debut album *Justified*, which showcased a more mature, funk- and R&B-influenced sound.
