"Upon the release of my new single 'Take Back The Night', I was made aware of an organization of the same name called The Take Back The Night Foundation," Timberlake wrote in an official statement obtained by Radio.com today (June 15). "I wanted to take this opportunity to let all know that neither my song nor its lyrics have any association with the organization."

For over 35 years in the United States, Take Back The Night has been focused on eliminating sexual violence in all forms. In the last decade, thousands of colleges and universities have created their own chapters as a way of keeping students protected against sexual violence.

"As I've learned more about The Take Back The Night Foundation, I'm moved by its efforts to stop violence against women, create safe communities and encourage respectful relationships for women–Something we all should rally around," he said. "It is my hope that this coincidence will bring more awareness to this cause."
