According to madonna, the song is about Madonna and timberlake start singing the chorus with timberlake singing the line of we've only got four minutes to save the world [5] the track continues in the same momentum in the second verse and second chorus whence the track ends where every beat ceases except for timbaland's characteristic bhangra beats, the brass riffs and madonna. Time is waiting we only got 4 minutes to save the world no hesitating grab a boy then grab a girl time is waiting we only got 4 minutes to save the world no hesitating we only got 4 minutes 4 minutes give it up, give it up don’t be afraid madonna ya gotta get on my hop tick tock, tick tock, tick tock i only got 4 minutes to save the world. / / (madonna & justin) / if you want it / you already got it / if you thought it / it better be what you want / if you feel it / it must be real just / say the word and i'ma give you what you want / / (madonna & justin) / time is waiting / we only got 4 minutes to save the world / no hesitating / grab a boy / grab a girl / time is waiting / we. Madonna and timberlake’s repeated line ‘we only got four minutes to save the world’ is not just a hook
The song amplifies our shared zeitgeist’s fascination with time as a precious, dwindling resource in an era where immediacy governs our lives.
