Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from Justin Timberlake:
Can’t Stop The Feeling
Length: 3:56
Release: 2016
Opening Lyrics:
It goes electric, wavey when I turn it on
And if you want it, inside your soul
Just open up your heart, let music take control
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh
I can’t take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
The room on lock the way we rock it, so don’t stop
Nowhere to hide when I’m getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
