Justin Timberlake Shoots Music Video For New Single
The 'SexyBack' superstar's return is imminent as the Super Bowl is just around the corner...
Wednesday, November 22, 2017 - 15:47
Justin Timberlake is about to return in a huge way.
With the Super Bowl just two and a half months away, the pop legend is putting in work behind the scenes for the launch of his fifth studio album, which is expected to drop around the same time.
The 'Mirrors' singer filmed a new music video with legendary director Dave Meyers (Kendrick Lamar's 'HUMBLE.', Camila Cabello's 'Havana') and it looks pretty damn epic.
Yeah, uh, feels good, don't it?
Listen, uh
Yeah, this was your city
You did it all and more, broke every law except for one, babe
Attraction, are you ready
I know you feel it
Pull you nearer 'til you feel it again, oh
I wanna do something right
But we can do something better
Ain't no time like tonight
And we ain't trying to save it 'til later
Stay out here living the life

While details of his new music is being kept top-secret, it is largely assumed that JT will drop his new single or album in the lead-up to his Super Bowl halftime show or immediately after if he debuts the song live during the performance.
Although, don't hold your breath for a banger as the post-apocalyptic setting of the video hints at a brooding, cinematic ballad as a very dusty Timberlake is joined by Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez and four kids on sandy hills.
Stills of the video shoot show the cast filming in front of a green screen so we expect this is going to be another mini blockbuster from Justin.
Next year's Super Bowl is taking place on February 4th in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and all eyes will be on JT to see what songs and tricks he brings to the world-famous stage during the halftime show.
Following Lady Gaga is no easy feat but there's not many pop stars more equipped (or experienced) to take on the challenge than Mr. Timberlake.
Plus, when Janet Jackson's name is back on the table then anything is possible!

Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone
And the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be there to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror (oh-oh)
My mirror staring back at me (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I couldn't get any bigger (oh-oh)
With anyone else beside me (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're makin'
Two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror (oh-oh)
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you somethin', an original?
'Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare
'Cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
Ooh, I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could
I would look at us all the time
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the past
I'm here tryna pull you through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along, oh
It's like you're my mirror (oh-oh)
My mirror staring back at me (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I couldn't get any bigger (oh-oh)
With anyone else beside me (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror (oh-oh)
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history, oh
Tomorrow's a mystery, oh-ooh
I can see you're lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold (no)
Show me how to fight for now (you show me, baby)
I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
Now, you're the inspiration of this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now, I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait, wait, wait, wait, wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
