Justin Timberlake's New Song "Filthy" Is Here
Justin Timberlake has finally returned with a new song, "Filthy." This marks the first of four singles he plans to release ahead of his fourth studio album, Man of the Woods, dropping February 2. PRE-ORDER
JT also dropped a new music video for the track, starring himself in a Steve Jobs-inspired role. In the vid, he presents his newest invention - a dancing robot - to the crowd at the Pan-Asian Deep Learning Conference in Malaysia, and blows them away, for better or worse.
The visuals were helmed by Mark Romanek, who's directed videos for JAY-Z, Taylor Swift, and even Timberlake's own "Can't Stop the Feeling!"

No question, I want it
Fire up, everybody smokin'

Caught a chill, baby, you the coldest
Go far, put 'em on notice
If you know what I want, then yeah

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

And what you gonna do with all that beast?
When I leave the cage open
Huh, walk to me, uh

[Outro]
Do you see me?
Can you find me?
Look closer
Through the trees
Do you see it?
The song was penned and co-produced by Timberlake, Timbaland, Danja (who's worked with Britney Spears, Missy Elliott, and DJ Khaled0, James Fauntleroy, and Larrance Dopson.
Timberlake's highly-anticipated Woods will arrive nearly five years since his last album, The 20/20 Experience. The singer appeared to tease a new sound for the upcoming project, which his wife Jessica Biel says sounds like "mountains, trees, campfires. Like Wild West, but now."
"This album is really inspired by my son, my wife, my family, but more so than any other album I’ve written, where I’m from," Timberlake said of the album in the trailer. "It’s personal."
Despite the change in aesthetic, elements of Timberlake's known sound remain, as "Filthy" shows. He worked with his frequent collaborators Timbaland and Pharrell (via The Neptunes) on the album, in addition to Alicia Keys and Chris Stapleton.
We'll soon see JT take his new music to the stage when her performs the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday, February 4, just two days after the album releases.
