"Until the End of Time" is an R&B/Pop song performed by Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé Knowles, written by Justin Timberlake, Tim Mosley, and Nate Hills. The song also has a prelude titled "Set the Mood" in the same fashion of Timberlakes other singles from the album, most having preludes or interludes attached.

It is the first single from the deluxe edition of his studio album FutureSex/LoveSounds[1]. The song was released on November 13, 2007 and it currently receives heavy radio airplay on Mainstream Urban stations. The Benjamin Wright Orchestra also appears on the song. The official date was June 5, 2007 for mainstream urban radio. The single version of the song featuring Beyoncé debuted on US radio on September 26, 2007 and a physical CD and digital download were both released on November 13, 2007[2]. The song features a LinnDrum drum machine and a string arrangement by Benjamin Wright; there are 12 violins and 8 violas in the song. It has a slowed sample of the Linn used in Raspberry Beret by Prince.

The music video for "Until the End of Time" is a live performance from Timberlake's latest tour 2007 FutureSex/LoveShow.[3]

[edit] Chart performance

The song has achieved great success on urban and rhythmic U.S. radio stations, and has become Timberlake's second top-five single on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, so far reaching number three. Because of high airplay the song was able to chart as high as number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, with little help from digital sales, and no music video. After the official duet single with Beyoncé was released, the song picked up in digital sales, and it reached a new peak of #17 on the Hot 100. The song became the sixth U.S. top 20 hit from the FutureSex/LoveSounds album. This is the first time a solo male artist has achieved this since Michael Jackson had six top twenty Hot 100 hits from his Dangerous album from 1991 and 8 top 20 hits from his Bad album from 1987 plus George Michael having six top five Hot 100 hits from his Faith album the same year.[4] The song is now listed as "Justin Timberlake duet with Beyoncé" due to the duet version's airplay overtaking the original.
