Timothy Mosley begon zijn muzikale loopbaan als DJ Tim. Met rapper Malvin Barcliff start hij het productiecollectief S.B.I., de afkorting voor Surrounded By Idiots, waar ook Pharrell zijn deel in krijgt. Als één van de eerste artiesten me wie hij samen gaat werken voegt Missy Elliott zich bij hem. Elliott doet later auditie voor DeVante Swing, op dat moment producer van Jodeci. DeVante geeft hem zijn naam Timbaland, vernoemd naar het schoenenmerk. Voor hem levert Timbaland uiteindelijk werk af voor onder meer Jodeci, 702 en MC Lyte. Hij weet het grote publiek te bereiken via One In A Million, het tweede album van Aaliyah en het debuutalbum van Ginuwine. In 1997 helpt hij Missy Elliott aan haar debuutalbum, Supa Dupa Fly. In 1999 zien we zijn naam verschijnen op Get On The Bus, de tweede hit van Destiny’s Child in ons land. Daarna scoort hij twee top 10-hits met Nelly Furtado en staat hij met Kery Hilson zelfs voor het eerst in de top 3. In 2007 is hij verantwoordelijk voor de doorbraak van OneRepublic; Apologize wordt zijn grootste succes in ons land en dat nummer voert de Top 40 voor vier weken aan. In 2012 scoort Timbaland met Ian Carey, Rosette en Brasco de Dance Smash bij Radio 538 en zijn elfde Top 40-hit.

In 2013 tekent hij bij Roc Nation, het label van Jay-Z. Daar produceert hij onder meer voor Beyoncé en T.I. Ook levert hij werk af voor Justin Timberlake en werkt hij aan Love Never Felt So Good (van Michael Jackson).

In 2017 maakt hij een remix voor Jacob Banks, Unknown (To You), dat door Radio 538 wordt uitgeroepen tot Alarmschijf.

Songtekst

[Verse - 1]
Did you sleep on the wrong side?
I'm catching a bad vibe
And it's contagious, What's the latest?
Speak your heart, Don't bite your tongue
Don't get it twisted, Don't misuse it
What's your problem?
Lets resolve it
We can solve it, What's the causes?
It's official, You got issues
I got issues, but I know I miss you

[Chorus - 1]
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be blamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be ashamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Will we remain?
You need a resolution, I need a resolution,
We need a resolution, We have so much confusion.

[Verse - 2]
I want to know: Where were you last night?
I fell asleep on the couch, I thought we were going out
I want to know: Were your fingers broke?
If you had let me know, I wouldn't have put on my clothes
I want to know: Where'd you go instead?
Cause it was 4 in the morning, When you crept back in the bed
I want to know: What was in your head?
Or what was in my head? Am I supposed to change?

[Chorus - 2]
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be blamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be ashamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? And will we remain?
You need a resolution, I need a resolution,
We need a resolution, We have so much confusion.

Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? and who should be blamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be ashamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Will we remain?
You need a resolution, I need a resolution,
We need a resolution, We have so much confusion.

[Bridge - Aaliyah]
Baby let me know, You'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will)

[Rap - Timbaland]
Girl holla!!
You give me bits and pieces
You tryna blame me when I don't even know the reason
I think it's just the season, Maybe the month, Maybe the building
Now tell me what's the reason? Snoop video? Looks are deceiving
So, cut the crying, Cut the coughing, Cut the weazing, Girl
Quit the blaming, Cut the naming, Cut the sleeping, Girl
I think you need some prayer, Better call the deacon, Girl
So, get your act right or else we won't be speaking, Girl
So, what's it gonna be? Freaky, freaky... Me and you?
Or is it gonna be who blames who?
I'm tired of these things, I'm tired of these scars
I think I'm gonna get me a drink, I'll call you tomorrow
