Madonna's decision to team up with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake for her 2008 album "Hard Candy" was not about following trends, but about seizing an opportunity to reshape them in her own unique style. The result was the hit song "4 Minutes," which became one of both stars' biggest hits. The track is a riff-heavy earworm with Timbaland's trademark beats and tics anchoring the strong pairing of two of music's biggest stars. The video, directed by Jonas Euvremer and François Rousselet, features one of Madonna's most conceptual dancing performances, and Timberlake's co-credit on the album marked a first on a Madonna record.
