Timberlake is currently on the road with his wildly successful Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which is next set for back-to-back sold-out doubles at the United Center in Chicago and Madison Square Garden in New York. The tour follows the March rollout of Everything I Thought It Was, Timberlake's sixth studio album.

Sessions for the album spanned several years and ultimately resulted in JT having roughly 100 potential album cuts to sift through. "So narrowing them down to 18 was a thing," he told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 earlier this year, adding that Everything stands as what he considers his "best work" yet.

The new JT era was launched back in January with the arrival of "Selfish," which marked the 10-time Grammy winner's first solo single in nearly six years. The song debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.
