How did it get started?
According to Know Your Meme, a website that tracks viral internet material, a Tumblr blog shared an image of an April 2012 calendar in March 2012. At the end of the month, an image of Justin Timberlake with the text “It’s Gonna Be May” was attached. The website reported that a five-second YouTube video with the image of Justin Timberlake and an audio sample of him singing was uploaded the next month. “Guess what? It’s gonna be me.” The meme has also existed in various different forms. The video game “Overwatch” fans have uploaded a rendition of Mei (pronounced the same as May). The appliance manufacturer Maytag developed an ad campaign in 2019 that featured the meme and the slogan “It’s Gonna Be Maytag.”
What does Justin Timberlake think?
It looks that he is a fan. During a 2016 interview with UK radio station Capital FM, Timberlake stated that he sung it in that manner at Max Martin’s request.
