Justin Timberlake is back with some new music. After teasing his fans in the previous few days, the singer now released his new single, “The Other Side.” The song, his first since 2018’s “SoulMate,” sees him teaming up with the talented R&B artist SZA.

While Timberlake decided to end his studio break, don’t get your hopes up that he will have a new album out soon. “The Other Side” was written specifically for animated fantasy Trolls World Tour and serves as the first single for its soundtrack.

The track also saw writing contributions from Ludwig Göransson, Sarah Aarons, and SZA. Timbaland and Göransson handled the production. You can hear the song and watch the music video below.

“It has been such a fun process writing and executive producing for this project,” said Timberlake in a statement. “Being able to bring together different creatives from various disciplines and genres has been the most rewarding part.”

Justin Timberlake was also featured on the soundtrack for the first Trolls movie. The song he recorded for the 2016’s animated feature, “Can’t Stop the Feeling!,” was a massive hit, topping the US Billboard Hot 100. It was the best-selling track in the United States, while also earning several other achievements.
