Released by: Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia
Justin Timberlake dan pengalaman 20/20-nya sudah memberikan kita pengertian terhadap kualitas musik. Belum memberhentikan album tersebut ke pitstop, JT merilis 'Not A Bad Thing' dari album fase kedua. Dirilis per tanggal 24 Februari 2014, ini merupakan single ketiga dari "The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2". Timbaland plus J-Roc memberi bantuan ide kreatif dalam single mid-tempo ini.
Harus diakui, style musik Timbaland terlalu mencolok untuk tidak dikenali. Kaya akan beat yang cenderung repetitif, membuat lagu nyaris tak berdinamika. Tak timbul kontraksi antara satu bagian ke bagian lain karena ketat diikat dalam dentuman-dentuman rapi dan konsisten sedari awal lagu. Kendali naik turun irama suasana dipegang sepenuhnya oleh vokal JT.
Penerimaan terhadap 'Not A Bad Thing' keluar layaknya judulnya, not bad. Tergolong easy listening, membuatnya gampang merasuk ke telinga pendengar. Kurang dinamisnya lagu membuat pergerakannya di "slow lane" beralih ke freeway menuju boredom. Penyeimbangnya adalah lirik yang emosional mengaduk perasaan pendengar untuk berempati pada kisah yang diceritakan.

LYRIC
[Verse 1]
Said all I want from you is to see you tomorrow
And every tomorrow, maybe you’ll let me borrow your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday
And while we're at it, throw in every other day to start
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, and you're bleeding
But I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won’t stop until you believe it
Cause baby you’re worth it
[Chorus]
So don't act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It’s not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
[Verse 2]
Now how about I’d be the last voice you hear tonight?
And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are
Every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me
'Cause I know that’s a good place to start
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, and you're bleeding
Don't you know that I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won’t stop until you believe it
Cause baby you’re worth it
[Chorus]
So don't act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It’s not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It’s not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
(Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me)
No I won’t fill your mind
With broken promises and wasted time
And if you fall, you’ll always land right in these arms
These arms of mine
[Chorus]
Don't act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It’s not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
