SNL: Justin Timberlake Debuts New Single, Drops Trailer for New Album

Set as the musical guest for next week's SNL, Justin Timberlake debuted the new single "Selfish" and dropped a trailer for his new album.

With host Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) and musical guest Reneé Rapp set to take the stages of NBC's Saturday Night Live later tonight, we learned earlier this week that Dakota Johnson had been tapped to host on January 27th – with musical guest Justin Timberlake. Now, Johnson hosting again wasn't a surprise – especially with Madame Web on the way – and Timberlake appearing on SNL just feels like an afterthought at this point. But as the musical guest? In case the news wasn't enough to confirm that the former NSYNC member had some new music on the way, Timberlake made it official heading into the weekend.

During a concert in his hometown of Memphis, Timberlake debuted his new song "Selfish" (check out a preview below), as well as a Benicio Del Toro-narrated trailer for his upcoming new album, Everything I Thought I Was" (waiting for you above). While you can pre-save & pre-add the album now, no official street release date was announced.
