Another hit song is set to be released as Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, and Timbaland are teaming up yet again after 16 years!
If you're a fan of good music then you’ll know these stars are famous for releasing songs that makes you dance your sorrows away. Now imagine the three of them in one song mind blowing right !
The news was announced on Wednesday (August 23) by Timbaland when he stated that he reunited with Justin and Nelly for a new song coming out next week.
The new song marks the first time in 16 years that Justin, Timbaland, and Nelly have released music together since 2007's "Give It To Me."
"WE BACK @nellyfurtado @justintimberlake DA KING HAS RETURN !!!! 09/1/23," Timbaland wrote along with a video shared on social media.
The video starts with a deep quote "The Time Has Come," before footage of the trio performing together is shown. The video then shares a clip from their "Give It To Me" music video, along with short clip of each of them in the studio.
According to Nelly in an in interview she stated “While we know that the song will be released next Friday, September 1, we still don't know the song's title.”
Even in the amazing video posted to mark the music release and their reunion, the song title and the music itself is not included in the video. Meaning we may have to wait until the release on September 1st before we find out.
Justin teased the song on his Instagram Story with the clip and an emoji of eyes.
Nelly took to her Instagram Story to do the same thing, adding praying hands to her post.
On TikTok, Nelly teased the song with a video of her using the podium filter while she lip syncs a sound in Spanish. The caption over the clip reads, "POV when you have new music coming."

The music news comes after Timbaland and Nelly each hinted at the collaboration by sharing a simple picture.
"Da dream team @justintimberlake @nellyfurtado," Timbaland captioned the picture that shows him and Justin in the studio while FaceTiming Nelly.
Timbaland has worked separately on both Justin and Nelly's projects. In 2006, he produced Justin No. 1 album “FutureSexLoveSounds” and in that same year, produced one of Nelly's top album “Loose”. Timbaland also collaborated with Justin again on his last album, Man of the Woods.
This new single will be the first new music from Nelly since 2017. Justin was recently featured on the remix for Coco Jones' single, "ICU."
In a recent interview with Variety, Timbaland revealed that he and Justin finished his latest album -- which has yet to be announced.
"We just finished up and everything sounds great," Timbaland told the publication. "Now it’s really on him how and when he envisions it to come out, but it’s done and it’s coming."
In the meantime, Justin has left fans buzzing about another potential musical reunion. Last week, the internet began to speculate that he would reunite with JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick for new *NSYNC music. And maybe a tour.
