Justin Timberlake is back, baby!

JT has unleashed the first of four new songs from his upcoming fifth album Man of the Woods, the lead single ‘Filthy”, produced by Timbaland, Danja and Pharrell.

How does it sound? Well, it quite literally sounds dirty, with grimy production slapping against funky guitar licks, while he sings of a late-night session.

I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it

Don't know why but girl
I'm feeling close to you, maybe it's this ocean view
I'm so emotional, and all these thoughts been dancing on my head
For too long, too long, too long
I wrote a song for you, I wanna sing to you
But every time I'm close to you, words wanna come out, but I forget
It's so strong, it's so strong, it's so strong

It might seem like I'm catching something
That's because it's true
And can't deny it, and I won't try it but I think that you know
I look around and everything I see is beautiful
'Cause all I see is you
And I can't deny it and I stand by it
And I won't hide it anymore

A crowded room anywhere
A million people around, all I see is you there
Everything just disappears, disappears, disappears, disappears
Yeah, a million people in a crowded room
But my camera lens's only been set to zoom
And it all becomes so clear, becomes so clear, becomes so clear

I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision, I only see you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision, I only see you, yeah

Now that I know the truth, what am I supposed to do?
Changing up and breaking all my rules ever since we met
I'm so gone, I'm so gone, I'm so gone
Just like a movie shoot, I'm zooming in on you
Everything is extra, and the background just fades into the set
As we ride off into the sun

It might seem like I'm catching something
That's because it's true
And I can't deny it, and I won't try it but I think that you know
I look around and everything I see is beautiful
'Cause all I see is you
And I can't deny it and I stand by it
And I won't hide it anymore

A crowded room anywhere
A million people around, all I see is you there
Everything just disappears, disappears, disappears, disappears
Yeah a million people in a crowded room
But my camera lens's only been set to zoom
And it all becomes so clear, becomes so clear, becomes so clear

I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision, I only see you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision, I only see you

Zoom, zoom, zoom
Zoom, zoom, zoom, in on you, in, in on you
I only see you, yeah
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Zoom, zoom, zoom, in on you, in, in on you
I only see you, yeah

I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it

A crowded room anywhere
A million people around, all I see is you there
Everything just disappears, disappears, disappears, disappears
Yeah, a million people in a crowded room
But my camera lens's only been set to zoom
And it all becomes so clear, becomes so clear, becomes so clear

I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision, I only see you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision for you
I got that tunnel vision, I only see you, yeah

I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I only see you, yeah
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I only see you, yeah

Between the heavy breathing throughout and the growling plea of “Put your filthy hands all over me”, this definitely isn’t ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ 2.0.

As for the music video, it’s not much like the song itself as the ‘SexyBack’ singer acts as a Steve Jobs character who performs as a robot onstage.

Not quite as raunchy as him and Scarlett Johanson‘s steamy rendez-vous in ‘What Goes Around... Comes Back Around', although it does end with the robot seemingly having sex with a bunch of female dancers in front of the audience.

Confused? As are we.

Although, the song ends with a high-pitched digital voice asking Justin “do you see me?”, beginning the search of something greater.

With the album’s back-to-basics theme, we expect that the next three songs and visuals will start the story of soul-searching that’ll play out on the album.

If that makes ‘Filthy’ the only sexy banger on the album then that is fine by us because it’s Timberlake at his best.

Hey, if you know what's good
If you know what's good
If you know what's good

Cooking up a mean serving, huh

No question, I want it, fire up, everybody smoking

Come chill, baby, you the coldest

You don't wanna walk through here

Baby, don't you mind if I do, yeah
Exactly what you like times two, yeah
Got me singing, ooh, ooh
So, baby, don't you mind if I do

Look, put your filthy hands all over me
You know this ain't the clean version
And what you gonna do with all that beast?
When I leave the cage open, huh, walk to me, uh

No question, I want it, fire up, everybody smoking
Your friends, my friends
And they ain't leaving 'til six in the morning (Six in the morning)
Come chill, baby, you the coldest
Go for 'em, put 'em on notice
You don't wanna walk through here

Baby, don't you mind if I do, yeah
Exactly what you like times two, yeah
Got me singing, ooh, ooh

Look closer, through the trees

View the lyrics
Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world (world)
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe (baby)
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's endin' this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around yeah

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now (moving on now)
And maybe I should do the same (maybe I should do the same)
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe (babe)
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it (no)
Don't want to talk about it (hm)
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it (uh)
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
(Should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around yeah

What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that (yeah)

Don't want to think about it (no)
Don't want to talk about it (hm)
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it (uh)
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
(Should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's okay baby cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around yeah

Yup
Yup
Yup, let me paint this picture for you, baby
Yup

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes

When you cheated girl
My heart bleeded girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

And now you want somebody (hey)
To cure the lonely nights (hey)
You wish you had somebody (hey)
That could come and make it right (hey)
But girl I ain't somebody (hey)
With a lot of sympathy (hey)
You'll see, see

(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

See, you should have listened to me, baby
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Because
(What goes around comes back around)
