AceShowbiz - Justin Timberlake has finally unleashed his new single, "Selfish". The NSYNC member unleashed the song, which marks his first solo release in six years, along with its visuals.
The Bradley J. Calder-directed music video shows the 42-year-old's trial-and-error approach to making the clip. The MV itself has since been viewed more than 500,000 times on YouTube.
Justin debuted the song when performing at a special "One Night Only" show at the Orpheum Theater. "If you saw what I saw/ they would fall the way I fell," he sang in front of the Tennessee crowd. "They don't know who you are/ Baby, I would never tell/ If they know what I know/ They would never let you go / So, guess what? I ain't ever letting you go."
" 'Cause your lips were made for mine/ and my heart would go flatline/ if it wasn't beatin' for you all the time," he continued. "So if I get jealous, I can't help it/ I want every bit of you, I guess I'm selfish / It's bad for my mental, but I can't fight it."
After the concert, Justin took to his social media accounts to upload a brief snippet of the track. He followed it up with a trailer of his upcoming album, "Everything I Thought I Was", which was narrated by Benicio Del Toro.
Justin first teased the album title on Wednesday. He shared some pictures on Instagram, one of which featured a message that simply read, "EITIW," which seemingly made a reference to "Everything I Thought It Was". He also captioned the post, "EITIW."
In related news, Justin is set to perform on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, which will be hosted by Dakota Johnson. Of his upcoming gig, he said to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, "[I] cannot imagine that I won't get pulled into a sketch or two. It's only natural. And I'm here for it. That's always fun. SNL, for me, in any capacity. I've hosted five, but I don't even know how many times I've been on the show."
