"Carry Out" is a song recorded by American rapper and producer Timbaland for his third studio album Shock Value II (2009). The song features guest vocals from longtime collaborator, American recording artist Justin Timberlake. Timbaland and Timberlake co-wrote the song with Timothy "Attitude" Clayton, Jim Beanz and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon; with Harmon co-producing the song with Timbaland. Mosley Music Group, together with Blackground and Interscope Records, serviced the song to contemporary hit radio on December 1, 2009 in the United States, as the third single from Shock Value II.
"Carry Out" received a mixed response from contemporary music critics, with many being divided on the song's composition and lyrical content. The song's lyrics use the term 'carry out' as metaphor for sex. Most found the song to be one of the album's best tracks, but criticized the use of food-sex metaphors and deemed the song to be lacking in creativity. The song also received comparisons to The Lonely Island's 2006 single " Dick in a Box", in which Timberlake was featured. "Carry Out" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Canada, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. The song's accompanying music video, directed by Bryan Barber, features Timbaland and Timberlake surrounded by women, which they attempt to seduce while dressed in fast-food restaurant themed costumes.
