Through Spears' revelations, it's now confirmed that Timberlake's song "Cry Me a River" discusses their relationship, specifically the break-up between them. A striking line from the song goes: "You don't have to say what you did. I already know, I found out from him." It's now understood that these lyrics refer to Spears' infidelity with choreographer Wade Robson while she was with Timberlake.

The passage in the book, "The Woman I Am", reveals: "One night we went to a Spanish bar. We danced and danced. I was making out with him that night."
