Trivia

Interesting facts about Rocket. By Songfacts.

This sex jam starts with Beyoncé giving her husband a lap dance. The song continues with several sexual plays on the words 'rock' and 'rocket' as the singer describes making love with her husband. Beyoncé said on the documentary about the making of her album that she decided to make honesty the "glue" that holds it together, a principle that guided this sexual cut. "What I love about this song is it takes you through this journey," the songstress said. "You're talking and you're flirting and you're talking all of this arrogant s—. Then you climax and then you have your cigarette."


The song was co-penned by Miguel and Justin Timberlake, both of whom knows a thing or two about writing a sex-filled tune. Whilst this was Miguel's only contribution to Beyoncé, it was one of three songs co-penned by Justin Timberlake for the album, the other two being "Blow," and "Yoncé/Partition." Back in 2004, when Timberlake was attempting to transform from a teen pop star to a more adult R&B/Pop singer, he had a hit with a song that also played on the word, 'rock' - "Rock Your Body." Though Timberlake's single took place on the dance floor rather than in bed, its expression of desire to see the object of his affections naked helped him break away from his clean image.


The song was produced by J-Roc and Timbaland, who were also responsible for Timberlake's pair of 20/20 Experience albums. The two producers were responsible for four of the raciest tracks on Beyoncé, the other three being "Blow," "Drunk In Love" and "Yoncé/Partition."
