Act 2, Scene 2. Outside Juliet's balcony.
"That Girl" by Justin Timberlake
When Usher reveals himself to North, under her balcony, they agree to ignore the boundaries their families have pressed upon them. Their decision leads them to get married, leading "That Girl" to portray the Act wonderfully. This song begins to play as Usher reveals himself to North and admits his love for her, as he stands under her balcony. Usher and North are not allowed to be with each other because of their families, and they both decide to disregard what their families have decided. Usher steps forward and proclaims, "My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself/ Because it is an enemy to thee." (2.2.60-61) The song states, "So what you're from the other side of the tracks, so what the world don't think we match," which showcases the passion and rebelliousness the lovers are experiencing. Additionally, Usher and North admit their love for each other, "My bounty is as boundless as the sea, / My love as deep. The more I give to thee,/ The more I have, for both are infinite." (2.2.140-142) Likewise, Justin Timberlake belts out, "I'm in love with that girl, and she told me, that she's in love with me." Later in the book, Drake and Usher get into a fight because their conflicting loyalties. The verse, “ 'Cause I'm in love with that girl, so don't be mad at me,” will help readers to understand when Drake yells at Romeo, “No better term than this: thou art a villain.” (3.1.62) This song truly captures the emotions Usher and North are feeling and gives a better understanding of the situation.

Lyrics to “That Girl” by Justin Timberlake:
Hi, how ya'll feeling tonight? Thank ya'll for coming out to the wise underground club Our first act up All the way from Memphis, Tennessee Show him some southern love JT and the Tennessee Kids Come on! Give it up!
[Justin:] Thank you for having us out tonight We're JT and the Tennessee Kids One, two, three Oh, yeah yeah yeah I think I'm in love with you
[Verse 1] Didn't have to run, I knew it was love from a mile away But I had to catch you, been running through my mind all day baby ' They all say I'm crazy, cause anybody even when your father say That I can't be with you, I don't hear what they say
[Hook] 'Cause I'm in love with that girl So don't be mad at me 'Cause I'm in love with that girl So don't be mad at me
So what you're from the other side of the tracks, so what the world don't think we match I'll put it down like my love's on wax, guess what? I'm in love with that girl And she told me, that she's in love with me
[Verse 2] Now we didn't have to fall, but we fell in love to the bottom, babe No one's there to catch us like when you fell from heaven that day, baby People always staring, but I don't even care nothing about it, babe 'Cause since I saw your face, I've been staring just the same.
[Hook] I'm in love with that girl So don't be mad at me I'm in love with that girl So don't be mad at me
So what you're from the other side of the tracks, so what the world don't think we match I'll put it down like my love's on wax, guess what? I'm in love with that girl And she told me, that she's in love with me
[Break] My pretty lady You'll always be my baby, baby, baby It's so amazing How you became my baby, baby, baby My little daisy Come here and let me rock you like a baby, baby, baby Pretty lady Don't you know, you'll always be my baby, baby, baby
[Bridge] Now don't it seem like these days That everybody's got something to say But I don't pay attention to the talk baby And I don't really care if they stop and stare 'Cause they see my number one My number one girl
I told you I'm in love with that girl
[Hook] I'm in love with that girl So don't be mad at me I'm in love with that girl, oh, no, no So don't be mad at me I don't care
So what you're from the other side of the tracks? so what the world don't think we match? I'll put it down like my love's on wax, guess what? I'm in love with that girl And she told me, that she's in love with me
