French electronica duo Justice released a remixed version of "LoveStoned" in 2007.

It was reported by Manchester Evening News that shooting took place at Web Studios in Salford, England.[5] Timberlake was reported to have used 600 kilowatts of lighting power, the most the studios ever used.

The video premiered on Yahoo! Music on June 13, 2007 and on MuchMusic's MuchOnDemand on June 14, 2007. Total Request Live premiered the video on June 18 and it debuted at #9 on June 19. It was the 'Ripe Clip of the Week' in Australia on June 15 to June 21. In the Netherlands it was 'Superclip' on the MTV-owned European TV music channel TMF. The video was directed by Robert Hales.[6]

In the video, Timberlake is illustrated in the form of a blue frequency. Throughout this portion of the video, a woman, a heart, and his band are also seen in this form. Also, the first half of the "I Think She Knows Interlude" is cut out in the video. Then at the end, Timberlake is shown singing in a white background with electronic pulses traveling along the hills behind him. This part of the clip is to symbolize Justin Timberlake being " stoned".
