"Blue Ocean Floor" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his third studio album, The 20/20 Experience (2013). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, with additional writing from James Fauntleroy.
Background and production
Timberlake started writing and recording for his third studio album in the "late part of May, first week in June" and concluded in July 2012.[1] The project was produced in a span of 20 days.[2] In August 2012, producer Jim Beanz reported that Timberlake started work on his new music project.[3] However, at that time, shortly after the announcement, Timberlake's publicist revealed that there were no current plans for a new Timberlake album, affirming instead that Timberlake was working with Timbaland on songs for his upcoming project Shock Value III.[3] Although, originally planned for release in October 2012, the album's date was postponed because of the singer's wedding with actress Jessica Biel.[1] Timberlake's manager Johnny Wright stated that although in the project were involved artists who are also primarily and Timberlake's friends it was tough keeping the album a secret, making them use codenames for the project.[1] The album was released on March 15, 2013, under the title The 20/20 Experience.[4]
"Blue Ocean Floor" was written by Timberlake, Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley, Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon and James Fauntleroy.[5] The song was produced by Timbaland, Timberlake and Harmon.[5] Timberlake arranged and produced his vocals, which were recorded at Larabee Studios in North Hollywood, California.[5] Harmon provided keyboards for the song, while Elliot Ives played the guitar.[5] The song was engineered by Chris Godbey, with assistance from Alejandro Baima.[5] The song was mixed by Jimmy Douglass, Godbey and Timberlake at Larabee Studios.[5] The Benjamin Wright Orchestra played the strings, while Marc Cargill played the violin solo.[5]
