V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The original recording is documented in the 2018 release history of Man of the Woods. Only year precision is assigned; later singles, charts, remasters and live versions do not establish its first release.

About Chris Stapleton
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Chris Stapleton is a Kentucky-born singer, guitarist and songwriter whose music draws on country, soul, blues and R&B. Before his solo breakthrough, he built a Nashville songwriting career with material recorded by artists including Gary Allan, Patty Loveless and Josh Turner. He also sang and played guitar with the bluegrass group the SteelDrivers and performed with the rock band the Jompson Brothers. Traveller established his solo recording identity, and his 2015 Country Music Association Awards performance with Justin Timberlake introduced that work to a wider audience.

About Justin Timberlake
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Justin Timberlake is a Tennessee singer and performer whose solo recording career followed his work in NSYNC. Justified pairs his falsetto with rhythm-focused productions by the Neptunes and Timbaland. FutureSex/LoveSounds and The 20/20 Experience extend that approach through medleys, layered vocals and long instrumental passages. Man of the Woods adds band and country-soul colors, while Everything I Thought It Was returns to a broad pop and R&B setting. His group recordings retain their separate identity.
