“Selfish,” written by Louis Bell, Henry Walter, Theron Makiel Thomas and Amy Allen, is a mid-tempo ballad with the lyrics, “I want every bit of you, guess I’m selfish.”

It’s Timberlake’s first new music as a solo artist in about six years, according to People Magazine.

The song is the first single off his upcoming album, “Everything I Thought I Was,” according to CNN. Timberlake debuted the song live last week during a concert in Memphis, Tennessee, Timberlake’s hometown.

Longtime collaborator and friend Timbaland told Variety recently that he was working with the artist on his first album since “Man of the Woods,” which was released in 2018.

“It’s fun Justin,” Timbaland said, according to Variety. “It’s like ‘FutureSex /LoveSounds,’ but nothing too heavy, just giving you what you’d expect from us: not overthought, the lyrics are not so deep, it’s bob-your-head, dance-to-it music.”

“Everything I Thought I Was” is expected to be released on March 15, People Magazine reported.

Timberlake is expected to be the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live,” with Dakota Johnson as the host, on Jan. 27, KTLA reported. On Jan. 31, which happens to be Timberlake’s birthday, he will host a free concert at Irving Plaza in New York City.
