Justin Timberlake teases new song ‘Selfish’ from forthcoming album ‘Everything I Thought It Was’

Justin Timberlake is back.

The singer has released a snippet of his new song “Selfish” from his forthcoming sixth studio album, “Everything I Thought It Was.”

“So if I get jealous / I can’t help it / I want every bit of you / I guess I’m selfish,” he sings in the 33-second teaser, which he shared on YouTube and social media.

Timberlake, 42, is set to debut the track in full on Friday during a free, one-night-only concert at The Orpheum Theatre in his hometown of Memphis, Tenn.

The 10-time Grammy winner has a busy week ahead, as he is also scheduled to appear on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” before performing on “Saturday Night Live” on Jan. 27.

A music insider tells Page Six exclusively that Timberlake has “an ambitious era” in the works, complete with a concert tour, as we first revealed in September 2023.

The former *NSYNC member has not released an album since 2018’s “Man of the Woods,” which he promoted with a 115-date tour and the Super Bowl LII halftime show.

In the lead-up to his musical comeback, Timberlake has stayed out of the spotlight following the October publication of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears’ memoir, “The Woman in Me,” in which the “Toxic” singer, 42, revealed she became pregnant and had an abortion during their early-aughts relationship.

The “Mirrors” crooner has not directly addressed the bestselling book, though he did say during a show in Las Vegas last month that he meant “no disrespect” with his 2002 single “Cry Me a River,” which infamously was inspired by the former couple’s tumultuous breakup.

Timberlake is now married to Jessica Biel, with whom he shares two sons, Silas, 8, and Phineas, 3, while Spears has two boys of her own, Preston, 18, and Jayden, 17, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.
