Justin Timberlake has received backlash for his new single “Take Back the Night” due to not asking permission to use the name from the anti-sexual violence organization also entitled “Take Back the Night.”
The organization’s executive director Katherine Koestner told
Koestner goes on to say that the lyrics to Timerberlake’s song are very sexual.
“[The lyric] ‘Use me,’ for example,” Koestner said, “is not a great phrase for anyone affiliated with the organization.”
Furthermore, Koestner explained that the first search result for “Take Back the Night” in Wikipedia is now the Timberlake song instead of the organization.
Koestner’s lawyers have contacted Timberlake about the issue, but Timberlake’s representatives responded that they were unaware of the group and that Timberlake is a good guy, according to Daily Mail.
A teaser video was released for Timberlake’s single on Friday, and has had great response from the singer’s fans.
