Timbaland's short Yeah vocal adlib from Justin Timberlake's 2006 hit SexyBack, used in edits, memes and dance clips to add a confident, punchy hype moment.

This is the brief, instantly recognisable Yeah vocal from Justin Timberlake's SexyBack, delivered as a sharp adlib by Timbaland over the track's pulsing, futuristic beat. It lasts less than a second, but the clipped, confident delivery and rising energy make it land like a punchline. The voice is clean, assertive and slightly playful, cutting through music or dialogue without needing any context. Used on its own, it signals approval, swagger or a sudden change of mood, giving an edit a bold, club-ready accent that listeners associate immediately with the 2006 hit.

SexyBack was released in 2006 as the lead single from Justin Timberlake's album FutureSex/LoveSounds, produced by Timbaland, whose clipped Yeah sound opens and punctuates the track. The song topped charts worldwide and became one of Timberlake's defining hits, while Timbaland's adlib became instantly recognisable on its own. As short-form video and meme editing grew, creators isolated the vocal for transitions, reveals and hype moments, keeping the 2006 hit present in new edits long after its original release.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it on a beat drop, a reveal or a head turn, and let it sit alone for a beat. Pair it with a bass hit or zoom, but do not loop it or place it over dialogue, or its sharp punch will lose impact.

  • Highlighting a confident outfit reveal in a fashion edit.
