Justin Timberlake has announced Everything I Thought It Was, his first album in six years. The follow-up to 2018’s Man of the Woods comes out March 15 via RCA. Lead single ‘Selfish’ is out today alongside a video directed by Bradley J. Calder. Timberlake, Louis Bell, Henry Walter, Theron Makiel Thomas, and Amy Allen wrote the track, which was produced by Timberlake, Bell, and Cirkut. Check it out below.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Timberlake said, “I think there are moments that are incredibly honest, but, also, there’s a lot of fucking fun on this album.”
Timberlake is set to perform on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live, which will be hosted by Dakota Johnson. “I flirted with the idea of, should I host or ask to host? And then I just thought, ‘No, this album is really special to me in a different, different way,’” Timberlake told Lowe. “And, yeah, you read that perfectly, but I also 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.”
