"I stumbled through it. You know, to be quite honest I had my wires crossed. And it's something that you have to look back on and go, like, 'OK, well, you know, you can't change what's happened, but, you know, you can move forward and learn from it,'" Timberlake said.

"Absolutely. Yeah. And ... I don't know that a lot of people know that," he continued of resolving the situation with Jackson. "I mean, I don't think it's my job to do that, because you value the relationships that you do have with people."

The first part of Timberlake's interview with Lowe will be broadcasted Thursday at 1p.m. EST on Beats 1.

Timberlake previously talked about his halftime show incident with Jackson while appear on The Late Show, joking with host Stephen Colbert, "Apparently a lot of people watch the Super Bowl ... I have learned that a lot of people watch the Super Bowl."
