history...

Timberlake's verse was rumored to be about fellow singer Janet Jackson, with whom Timberlake was involved in the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy. MTV News reported that "A source close to the record said that Timberlake's lyrics have nothing to do with his infamous Super Bowl co-star — but he is responding to another pop artist who has seen career heights few other singers can boast."[1] This has led to further rumours that Timberlake's verse is actually aimed towards pop rock legend Prince.

In an interview with MTV Timbaland revealed the target of his verse to be producer Scott Storch, with whom he co-wrote Timberlake's 2002 single "Cry Me a River".[2]

The song officially premiered on 102.7 KIIS-FM in Los Angeles on January 16, 2007, when Timbaland made an appearance on the On Air with Ryan Seacrest morning show. The single was released on U.S. radio on February 6, 2007, according to allaccess.com. Radio play in major markets such as Phoenix, Dallas, and Boston started in late January. The song debuted at number eighty-seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in February 2007.[3]

On February 26, the music video for "Give it to Me" was premiered on MTV's Total Request Live. It shows Timbaland, Furtado and Timberlake performing the song at a concert and includes clips from Timbaland's tour bus. On the same day, in response to the song, Scott Storch released a diss towards Timbaland called "Built like Dat" featuring Nox.
