Saturday Night Live: Justin Timberlake Drops "Selfish" Music Video

Ahead of his return to NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend, Justin Timberlake released the official music video for the single "Selfish."

While we all know that NBC's Saturday Night Live can sink or swim on any given week depending on the host & musical guest, it's also true that the week leading into a new show mostly focuses on the host. So, for this week, we've been seeing a lot of Dakota Johnson. But musical guest Justin Timberlake found a way to grab some headlines this morning – even before he joins Johnson for their on-stage promos later today. During a concert in his hometown of Memphis last weekend, Timberlake debuted his new song "Selfish," as well as a Benicio Del Toro-narrated trailer for his upcoming new album, Everything I Thought I Was. Though no official street release date was announced, Timberlake is making sure folks get familiar with "Selfish" ahead of this weekend, dropping the official music video – which you can check out above.

And don't forget that we have Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) set to host on February 3rd, with Jennifer Lopez as the musical guest. Now, here's a look at the trailer Timberlake released for his upcoming album:
