Justin Timberlake is taking over 2018 before anyone else gets a chance.

The pop icon returns this Friday with the first single from his just-announced fifth album Man Of The Woods and he just revealed its ever-so-saucy title, 'Filthy'.

The racy title all but confirms that it's a total banger, which is a nice surprise after the melodramatic album teaser seemingly promised a mainly introspective, country-pop record.

View the lyrics
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
What am I supposed to do?

I don't understand it
Tell me how could you be so low?
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-
TKO-
TKO-

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 posted the single artwork on Twitter, saying "This is a song called 'Filthy' by Justin Timberlake" - good to know - "This song should be played very loud."

We repeat: "This song should be played very loud." YES. JT is coming back with a bang-er, everyone.

'Filthy' is produced by his longtime collaborator Timbaland and Danja, who both worked heavily on his magnum opus FutureSex/LoveSounds.

As though this wasn't all exciting enough, Timberlake has announced that the music video for 'Filthy' will also premiere on Friday.

Want more? Okay: he will be releasing three more songs this month, one new song every Friday in January, along with its own visual.

Get ready because in less than 48 hours our lives are about to change forever.

1 of 4. Friday, midnight ET. https://t.co/oydnUMzBE8 pic.twitter.com/O35kFWHVuf

If anyone can make 'Filthy' happen then it's the man who brought 'SexyBack', you know?

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

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

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
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
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

Girl, you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do

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
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
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
You are, you are the love of my life
