The singer previously released “Selfish” from his upcoming album Everything I Thought It Was
Justin Timberlake is fighting the current on latest single “Drown,” the follow-up track to “Selfish” from his upcoming album Everything I Thought It Was.
The song — co-written and co-produced by Timberlake, Louis Bell, Cirkut, Kenyon Dixon, and Amy Allen — delivers another heartbreak anthem from the artist. Backed by moody beats, he sings the chorus, “Got caught up in the tide of all the tears you cried/Yeah, you know I was blinded by my heart, sinking from the start/Should’ve never followed you this far/Now I’m in the deep end, and you let me drown/You didn’t even try to save me.”
Timberlake first teased “Drown” on Monday with an Instagram video of him playing a snippet at the piano along with the caption: “So excited for new music and everything coming this week… DROWN 2/23.” The following Wednesday, he shared a reel of himself working at a studio while the song played in the background.
