The first video released , titled " First Listen " , features cast members from the DreamWorks Animation 's '' Trolls '' , among them Anna Kendrick , James Corden , Icona Pop , Gwen Stefani , Ron Funches and Kunal Nayyar . The song 's official music video was released on May 16 , 2016 . Helmed by director Mark Romanek , the " Ca n't Stop the Feeling ! " video follows Timberlake on a tour to everyday places like a laundromat , diner , barbershop and a donut shop , with an individual dancing along to the single at every stop . All the revelers eventually end up congregating with Timberlake below a highway underpass where they dance together to the song . As described by '' Time '' editor Cady Lang , Timberlake " dances through what a typical day might be : breakfast at the diner and grocery shopping . " Talking to '' Entertainment Weekly '' , director Mark Romanek described the concept as " just the overall feeling of unironic and sincere humanism . It ’s not trying to be cool or slick or ironic . It ’s just fun . Most of the time , people are excellent . It ’s just a big sugar cookie . It makes people smile for four minutes . " He stated the brief dance-off between Timberlake and an inflatable arm waving tube man was inspired by Gene Kelly dancing with Jerry the mouse in '' Anchors Aweigh '' . '' Bustle '' writer Amy Mackelden highlighted the scene as the best moment of the video . '' Esquire '' editor Jonathan Evans addressed Timberlake 's monochromatic outfit , writing " the singer nails it by playing with shades of the color white , plus throwing some pattern and texture in the mix . " The video received nominations for Best Male Video International at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards Japan , for Best Music Video at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards , and for Favorite Music Video at the 2017 Nickelodeon Kids ' Choice Awards
