Timberlake first carried out his new single reside at a live performance in Memphis, the place he was born, 5 days in the past. He launched the efficiency with a nod to the grey swimsuit he was sporting. “We didn’t get dressed up for nothing, did we?” he mentioned.

The 42-year-old’s final album, Man of the Woods, snatched the highest spot on the Billboard 200 with the largest first week gross sales on the time of its launch in 2018.

Since then, the artist has principally stayed out of the pop music limelight. He’s collaborated with different artists like SZA and Pharrell Williams, appeared on film soundtracks, and reunited briefly with NSYNC, the boyband that launched his music profession within the Nineties.

Listeners greeted the brand new single with pleasure on social media. “I’m so happy he did a sweet ballad,” wrote one fan, Brittany Edwards. “I’ve been missing those. It sounds like it could’ve been an NSYNC song honestly. This will be on repeat.”
