Justin Timberlake - Say Something (First Take) ft. Chris Stapleton 

2024 anyone?

My son, John E. Walker worked as an additional sound engineer on this. He was very impressed with the director mainly as well as "ninja camera guy", location, and the organization and professionalism of all. That is how they were able to get this in one take! As far as sound goes, I can only speak to my son who is meticulous in his work, quiet and unobtrusive in life and on set, an artist initially so usually thinks he could do better. At least when he is the sound mixer, he completes a gig to satisfaction from home. (He's a great Husband, Dad, son and all around kind person. I love you Maneens! Always proud mama.

Whoever is reading this know you are LOVED, whether you see it or not, the world wouldn’t be the same without you, so keep on going please, stay strong and ask for help when you need it 😊❤

I just read the behind the scenes of the recording of this song & video. It is so amazing to me that this was all done live, in that building. You can hear the echo of the choir's voices, you can hear Justin put on his guitar, You can hear him humming, you can hear everything. I really think the audio, production & filming personnel all deserve a well earned round of applause. And of course, Justin & Chris, along with the band members & choir deserve that big round of applause as well. My hat off to all of you for a beautiful job well done.

Camera operator deserves an award.

Of course the talent of all the vocalists and musicians is amazing, but let's also give a TON of credit to the men and women who planned, coordinated, and executed all of this behind the scenes.

Two legends singing together is always amazing to hear!

Dear person that’s reading this, we don’t know each-other but i wish you all the best in life. ❤️

The moment the entire choir comes in, man that gives me CHILLS every times

Anyone today????

Timberland with the sound effects at the beginning was lovely! Always and forever will be a JT fan, new fan of Mr. Stapleton. This is gold! 🤗❤️

Timberlake is an artist that makes music because he likes to make music and hasn't allowed himself to get locked down to a specific style- That is true art.

Crazy how its in one take. Even crazier how everyone nailed it in the first take!

Why I found this masterpiece so late. It’s so damn perfect!!!! Justin ❤

It’s those moments when many voices join in, that I love the art of mankind. Thanks to all your combined talents.

Chris as your cousin I just wanted to say how extremely PROUD our entire family is of you and your success, it couldn't have happened to a better man!!!

This song is underrated, it's so good

Holy shit man the camera work on this one is just masterpiece! Props to the cameraman!

That building is stunning architecturly

Oh, yeah, alright Ooh (yeah) Everyone knows all about my direction And in my heart somewhere I wanna go there Still I don't go there Everybody says "say something" Say something, say something Then say something, say something, then say something I don't wanna get caught up in the rhythm of it But I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no Caught up in the middle of it No I can't help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no, no Caught up in the rhythm of it Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have Everyone knows all about my transgressions Still in my heart somewhere, there's melody and harmony For you and me, tonight (whoa) I hear them call my name Everybody says "say something" Then say something, say something Then say something, say something then say something I don't want to get caught up in the rhythm of it But I can't get help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no Caught up in the middle of it No I can't help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no, no Caught up in the rhythm of it Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Sometimes the greatest the way to say something is to say nothing at all Sometimes the greatest the way to say something is to say nothing at all Sometimes the greatest the way to say something is to say nothing But I can't help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no Caught up in the middle of it No I can't help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no, no Caught up in the rhythm of it Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Maybe I'm looking something that I can't have (maybe I'm looking something that I can't have) Sometimes the greatest the way to say something is to say nothing at all Sometimes the greatest the way to say something is to say nothing at all Sometimes the greatest the way to say something is to say nothing

This version brought tears to my eyes.

2024 and Yes I'm Still Here!!! Love this song!!! The greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all!!!

Let me tell ya this is one hell of a collaboration and when that choir kicks in... goose bumps

My son said it was amazing working on this. Of course, my favorite part is crew credits where I pause it to see John E Walker, additional sound engineer. Proud of you Maneens.

THIS is music - not overproduced & polished - perfect with all it's imperfections. Such a great room, the acoustics are amazing and damn, I could listen to this version all day.

Lovely song. Thank God for England & The English Language 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿God bless the Queen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤

I really wish I could like this a skabillion times🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽💖

Justin Timberlake is the PRINCE OF POP 😘

Everyone just sat in a circle after this and went “No YOU shut up! YOU’RE ridiculously talented!”

Watching this, and coming to the realization of how many months of planning, location scouting, rehearsals, all to come down to the day of filming and nail it in one take, is beyond impressive. To top that off, is a brilliantly structured, written and played song. I don't even understand how this level of skill and talent can exist.

how did I miss this treasure

How can a human being give thumbs down for this masterpiece? They must be blind & deaf or the people at production company who couldn't get the job....

and this ladies and gentlemen, is what we call talent

Omg first take, ❤

WOW!!!!!! ❤ As a fan of country music this has truly blown me away!

I've watched this and listened to this song more than I care to admit...It's 3000. I've watched and listened to this 3000 times...

Making a hit to a hit again 1 year later 💯🕺

It's October 2021, let's see how many legends are listening to this masterpiece 😍

The first take is the best version of this song

When you realise that once in a while you find real musicians with different types of sounds who can sing without auto tunes and make pure beautiful music together in one single shot! I salute you!

Chris Stapleton's voice sounds smooth like a jazz saxophone 😌

It's October 30 let see how many Legends are still listening to this masterpiece

Absolute timeless masterpiece 🎉 edit: even the videoclip! 🎉

Simplicity is underrated and needs a comeback...Bravo to Justin, Chris and this amazing video team**

Justin Timberlake has gone far from being in someone’s shade to making the greatest hits ever!

Rare example of purity in modern music production. It should be even more famous. It should be a standard.

If you are reading this now - You are truly blessed in Jesus - weather you know or not - I needed to tell you - God bless you forever xx

This song makes me feel SO MUCH AT ONCE its overwhelming every time. happy, sad, motivated, confused, loved, forgotten, destined.. i means everything. absolutely appreciated. Justin and Chris should do a album together. it would be a lifetime of this greatness. thanks yal love yall God loves yall

I'm almost 60 and I find myself dancing around the house to this!!! Awesome

Late in coming, but this is one of the greatest all time harmonies ever. Song gives me chills and tears all at the same time. Genius!

I love this song I'm a 40 plus year old man with 2 daughters and one grandson that I love to pieces and I just realized this song women as well the women ,mothers , and sisters we know go through something very similar

I would like to take a moment to appreciate this dude and his "ding" @3:10

One of the best songs I've heard in many years. An amazing collaboration between Justin and Chris. Their voices are so good together. I love this song!!!

This is one of the most amazing collabs ever. The chills I get from listening to this are so intense. It’s truly a feeling I crave & I can’t wait to hear it over & over

Love, love , love this tune. Nice work Justin and Chris.

Chris Stapleton has a voice that will bring someone back from the dead. The fucking soul and emotion that man puts into his music is beyond explanation. He's one of the most underrated artists of all time.

Great job. Justin Timberlake is such a beautiful singer. He has such talent. I believe everybody should hear what this gorgeous man has to offer!

I've a story to tell. A true story . One that will rock Hollywood and bring history alive and many of the great people together. This goes from 1968 to 2019 . A boy from California a girl from Texas

I cry, in the good way, every time I watch and listen to this. Thank you Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton (and everyone else who made this happen) for the wonderful tears. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

On the first take?!? Has that been confirmed and verified? That’s just incredible! Talent!

This is definitely one of the best video ever and the best song of the year.

The artistry of this speaks volumes about JT's depth. What a mesmerizing production.

On the right speakers/headphones this performance is Incredible. Well done.

Love this song! It’s amazing how they recorded this in one take. The sound, visuals, the building, and the harmony of the choir singers comes together just perfectly.🎧👌🎼

wow didnt expected this again

Positivity is something we all need. Thank you kind soul.

This Remains a 🎼🐺 Keeper & Epic message & scenery. Of course the Pups love the Outdoors in any weather. Their Mudhole is Epic too. And King Kurgan’s Sunrise Profile in the Sunset & he’s taking it all in. Awesome on the North Mississippi. Imagine what all’s downriver. Gators & Shrimps & … Humidity. Lots of fishing & good food in the Delta. Thank you for what all you do Chadde, Tammy & Max. You are hereby knighted as The Best Clan. ⚔️🛡️🐺🛡️⚔️ lol 🤘🏼👍🏼🤟🏼🐺🥰🐶👋🏼

Camera people, sound engineers and mixers. I see you and appreciate you guys. Marvelous Job!!!!!! (Edit: Great Job was not sufficient)

This is not just Justin. I love Justin's music, but Chris has added a special touch to this clip. I have listened to this video about 50 times, and it is now considered to be on my top 10 of all time. Aswell, the photograpghy moving around this building is incredible. Justin and Chris outfits casual says it was all about the words. To me, it has meaning! "Say nothing" will get you a long way. Thanks Justin and Chris for your wonderful song. Hope to more like this soon.

I don't know where I was but I totally missed this one.

I really love this song and music video and I reckon it will be more appreciated in time and be remembered as a classic. The location of the interior of an old building reminded me of something i had seen before but could not place it. Then just last night I saw the old Blade Runner movie (1982) was on TV. The building where the character J.F.Sabastian, (the nerdy guy with his toy robots) lives, looks just like it, though it is much more darker and wet.

Everybody in the WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR THIS SONG!!!!

This, my friends, is what you call perfection. From the vocals to to music to the choreography to the cinematography to the direction to doing it all in one take! Definitely a masterpiece compilation and kudos to everyone involved with this video!!

Say something everytime you want to express something although it's "Rong". Be loyal to what you have to say it makes you feel better. Greetings from Galicia

[Lyrics] Say something, sa-say something Sa-sa-say something, say something Say something, no, no, no, no Everyone knows all about my direction And in my heart somewhere I wanna go there Still I don't go there Everybody says, "Say something that says something" "Say something that says something" "Say something that says something" I don't wanna get caught up in the rhythm of it But I can't help myself No, I can't help myself No, no Caught up in the middle of it No, I can't help myself No, I can't help myself No, no, no Caught up in the rhythm of it Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have Everyone knows all about my transgressions Still in my heart somewhere There's melody and harmony For you and me tonight Woah-oh I hear them call my name Everybody says "Say something that says something" "Say something that says something" "Say something that says something" I don't wanna get caught up in the middle of it But I can't help myself No, I can't help myself No, no Caught up in the rhythm of it Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have (Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have) Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have (Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have) Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have (Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have) Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have (Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have) Sometimes the greatest way to say something Is to say nothing at all Sometimes the greatest way to say something Is to say nothing at all Sometimes the greatest way to say something Is to say nothing Ah, one, two, three But I can't help myself No, I can't help myself No, no Caught up in the middle of it No, I can't help myself No, I can't help myself No, no, no Caught up in the rhythm of it Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have (Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have) Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have (Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have) Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have (Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have) Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have (Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have) Sometimes the greatest way to say something Is to say nothing at all Sometimes the greatest way to say something Is to say nothing at all Sometimes the greatest way to say something Is to say nothing

When you put talented people together- all you need is one take!

one of the most complete performances I have ever seen. I used this music, and this video, to rise out of my own ashes after a devastating divorce. I have seen him in concert, primarily as a way to thank him for helping guide me out of the darkness.

walk in in holyspirit shine your light for this world to see with the high vibrating hum thru your soul so thay can here what god has given to tje world GB

What a fucking unbelievable combination of souls/humans/musicians/entities.

I don't know how it is that I've just discovered this song, but I am now obsessed. This one will easily be one of my all-time favorites.

Not a huge country fan, but now I love Chris Stapleton after this!

I love the feeling of finding the songs that are masterpieces while they are not appricated as much as they should be, and questioning why reapeting multiple times. Anyway great musicans!

This song reminds me of my eldest son (hes my stepson but never thought of him of a step ..why would I step on him) he passed last week and we just buried him and this was a song he always played n had the CD in his truck when we cruised ...so hearing this after he passed made me cry but it's a good song I'll always listen to it! We always did ...awww I'll always miss my sonny ❤❤

I knew this was one take and everything is live. The singing and the playing all live done at the time no lip sync or playing to the song. All live.

Justin Timberlake is a pop god, he is one of the best, but no one can beat mj.

Still gives me chills, JT is such a performer!

i love youuuuu! come to Brasil 🇧🇷

Crying myself a river or tears from this masterpiece! ENDLESS LOVE FOR THE LEGEND, IDOL J.T! 🌟❤😭

This is real talent here. Absolutely genius

Chris Stapleon, you are a feckin Legend x

Whoever directed this is a master and has a beautiful mind!

Justin is extraordinarily talented but the country in Chris’s voice is everything! Excellent setting and angles in this video as well.

Justin Timberlake ❤

And in one take, this song is amazing, so catchy a staple in our house ❤

Since cry me a river , you're a talented guy ,and never desappoint us .

I think this performance underrated. It's should be more views for such a long time.

Every few days RU-vid suggests this for me, I can’t help myself.

This whole video and performance deserved to get all the awards. It's criminal how it didn't swept many of them. Maybe because the album wasn't as good as his previous ones, so this got overlooked.... Back then i was so used to a certain style from him that i was a bit dissapointed with the album, despite this song being amazing. But now, after all these years, i can finally fully appreciate it and how underrated this video is.

This video is spectacular. I watched it many times, and every time it's fresh and astounding: the music, the arrangement, the voices, the building... everything is just perfect. It's truly a jewel.
