Justin Timberlake debuts new song 'Selfish' during Memphis concert

Justin Timberlake headed home to Memphis on Friday, January 19 for a free concert and debuted a brand new single.

The Orpheum Theater show saw Timberlake, 42, perform “Selfish” live for the first time.

“If you saw what I saw, they would fall like I fell,” he sang per social media images of the crowd in Tennessee. 'They don't know who you are / Baby, I'd never tell / If they know what I know / They'd never let you go / So, guess what? I'll never let you go.”

He continued, “Cause your lips were made for mine / And my heart would flatten / If it didn't beat for you all the time. / So when I get jealous, I can't help it / I want everything from you, I think I'm selfish / It's bad for my mental state, but I can't fight it.”

After the show ended, Timberlake uploaded a short snippet of the song to his YouTube, Instagram and TikTok pages. Moments later, he seemingly revealed that his next studio album was on the way, uploading a trailer titled “Everything I Thought I Was,” narrated by Benicio Del Toro.

The video ended with a title card that read: “Justin Timberlake Presents: Everything I Thought It Was.” The LP will be his sixth solo album thereafter Justified, FutureSex/LoveSounds, The 20/20 Experience, The 20/20 Experience — 2 of 2 And Man of the forest.

The former boy band released their single 'Better Together' in September 2023 to accompany Timberlake's animated film Trolls unite.

“It was something very natural. For the last 23 years, we've all been talking about maybe doing something here, maybe doing something there,” Bass, 44, told exclusively We weekly in September 2023 of the surprise reunion of 'NSync'. “We did Coachella and we did the VMAs 10 years ago, so it just made sense at the time.”

Fatone, 46, added Us at the time the single – fresh off their 2023 VMA performance – “100 percent” was a love letter to fans.

“It was just one of those things, like, 'Wow, OK, we're doing this.' So we're just excited to see what happens,” Fatone said. “I mean, again, it's been 25 years since we've really launched anything, anything. So just to be able to be in the studio together [and] got these vibes, it's really cool.
