How do the NFL top Lady Gaga diving from a stadium roof straight into 'Poker Face'? Well, they bring 'SexyBack'.

With less than four months to go, Justin Timberlake has silenced the rumours and confirmed that he is indeed headlining the Pepsi Halftime show at next year's Super Bowl.

After previously gracing the legendary stage twice as a guest performer, this will be JT's first time in charge.

In all, enthrilling new, living sound

Kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
Ah, she kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
Ah, she kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
Ah, she kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
Ah, she kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
Ah, she kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
Ah, she kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
Ah, lights out, TKO
Boo

Baby, everyday in training to get the gold
That's why your body's crazy
But you can't run from yourself, that's where it's difficult (Uh)
Girl, I can see in your eyes that there's something inside that made you evil
Where did you go? 'Cause it just ain't fair
Over here thinking 'bout the shit you say
Don't know why it gets to me

It cuts right on my eye, yeah, it hurt, won't lie
Still can't see, think I saw you with another guy
Fair fight, knocked down, then I got over you
Can't fight no more, you knock me out
What am I supposed to do?

I don't understand it
Tell me how could you be so low?
Been swinging after the bell and after all of the whistle blows
Tried to go below the belt, through my chest, perfect hit to the dome
Dammit, babe
This ain't the girl I used to know
No, not anymore
TKO

I'm out for the count
Yeah, girl, you knock me out
It's just a TKO
I'm out for the count
Yeah, girl, you knock me out
With a TKO
T-T-TKO
Out for the count
Girl, you knock me out
With a TKO
Now, I'm out for the count
Yeah, girl, you knock me out
With a TKO

Baby, now I don't really know what we're fighting for
This rematch sex is amazing
But nobody wins if somebody's heart is swole
'Cause when I see you move like you got something inside that made you lethal
Where did you go? It just ain't fair
Over here thinking 'bout the shit you do
Don't know what I got to lose

It cuts right on my eye, yeah, it hurt, won't lie
Still can't see, think I saw you with another guy
Fair fight, knocked down, then I got over you
Can't fight no more, you knock me out
What am I supposed to do?

I don't understand it
Tell me how could you be so low? (Yeah, uh)
You've been swinging after the bell and after all of the whistle blows
Tried to go below the belt, through my chest, perfect hit to the dome
Dammit, babe
This ain't the girl I used to know
No, not anymore
TKO

I'm out for the count
Yeah, girl, you knock me out
It's just a TKO
I'm out for the count
Yeah, girl, you knock me out
With a TKO
T-T-TKO
Out for the count
Girl, you knock me out
With a TKO
Now, I'm out for the count
Yeah, girl, you knock me out
With a TKO

Girl, see what you do
See what you do, girl?
You, you, you knock me right out
Girl, see what you do
See what you do, girl, girl, girl
Girl, you knock me right out
Hey, girl, see what you do
See what you do, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl
Girl, you knock me right out
See what you do
See what you do, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl
Girl, you knock me right out

It cuts right on my eye, yeah, it hurt, won't lie
Still can't see, think I saw you with another guy
Fair fight, knocked down, then I got over you
Can't fight no more, you knock me out

I don't understand it
Tell me how could you be so low? (Yeah, uh)
You've been swinging after the bell and after all of the whistle blows
Tried to go below the belt, through my chest, perfect hit to the dome
Dammit, babe-

She kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
She kill me with the coo
So dammit, babe-
She kill me with the coo-coochie-coochie-coo
She kill me with the coo
So dammit, babe-
(So) I'm out for the count
Yeah, girl, you knock me out (What?)
It's just a TKO
(So) I'm out for the count
Yeah, girl, you knock me out
With a TKO-

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AT THE SUPER BOWL?! THIS. IS. HUGE.

The pop icon announced the news in a skit with Jimmy Fallon on Twitter, where the pair joke "do you have the time?" and dwindle it down to "you do halftime?" YES!

From 'Cry Me A River' to 'My Love' and 'Mirrors', the singer has more iconic hits than many others and just 15 minutes to fit them into. What will he perform? Will he bring out any guests?

He, of course, started out as one fifth of *NSYNC and could therefore do a Beyoncé with Destiny's Child back in 2013, and he has also collaborated extensively with Jay-Z over the years, including a joint stadium tour a few years ago.

The biggest guest in question is the one and only Janet Jackson, who headlined the 2004 Halftime show that birthed the infamous wardrobe malfunction when Justin ripped off part of her costume.

While Timberlake's career went from strength to strength, America shunned Jackson as she was banned by radio stations, TV networks and the NFL from returning to the Super Bowl. So, with Justin being asked to return as a headliner 14 years later, many people want to see Janet back on that stage.

After all, it's not a good look - or morally right - on either Justin or the NFL's part to work together again if Janet is still being shunned out. We hope that Justin has thought of this before putting pen to paper and has some big plans in store!

I DO have the time. Half the time...#PepsiHalftime #SBLII @Pepsi @NFL @JimmyFallon @FallonTonight pic.twitter.com/4Z4Dz29l3X

View the lyrics
Said all I want from you
Is to see you tomorrow
And every tomorrow
Maybe you'll let me borrow, your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday?
An while we're at it throw in every other day to start

I know people make promises all the time

Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife and you're bleeding
But I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me

Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me

Now how about I be the last voice you hear tonight?

And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are
And every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me
'Cause I know that's a good place to start

I know people make promises all the time

Then they turn right around and break them
Then someone cuts your heart open with a knife
Now you're bleeding
Don't you know that I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
Cause baby you're worth it

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me

Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me

No I won't fill your mind with broken promises
And wasted time
And if you fall
You'll always land right in these arms
These arms of mine
Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
