There was a time not so long ago when Justin Timberlake was one of the most prominent figures in R&B. The Social Network actor has turned his efforts to acting, with his last album being 2018's Man of the Woods. While he's found great success in the film industry, music lovers have been thirsty for more of Timberlake's magic touch – especially when working with Timbaland. Thankfully it was recently confirmed that the duo has reconnected with plans to unleash an LP. In the meantime, the Memphis native has connected with another vocalist, Coco Jones, to give us a taste of what's to come.
This New Music Friday (July 14), the industry veteran joined the up-and-comer on her "ICU (Remix)," which is already racking up streams. As Billboard reports, Jones' original version was the second single from her What I Didn't Tell You EP, which arrived last year. It marked the multi-talent's first entry on the Hot 100 chart, landing her a spot at No. 63. With Timberlake's help on this new cut, it's sure to only help boost Jones to new levels of success.

Before sharing the collaboration today, the Southern singers used social media to tease the prospect of working together. It began with Jones' '90s boy band collage on Twitter on Monday (July 10), and she later confirmed the exciting news during an interview at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday. "He’s such a legend and he really supports me, so I’m really really happy to have this collaboration," the Bel-Air actress raved of working with Timberlake.

Quotable Lyrics:
Maybe I just feel lost without you
And maybe I'm just pissed off without you
Baby, my life's just off without you
Maybe you're worth it all to me, baby
