While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Justin explained that he made Everything I Thought It Was over the course of four years and explained that it was a different process for him thanks to the pandemic and the birth of his second son with Jessica Biel.
Previously, he said, “I would just go in for a block of time and say, ‘This is what we made, and this is what it is.’”
How was this time different? “I was going back and forth. Two weeks writing, coming back for a month. And just doing what we call writer camps, where I would work with different songwriters, work with different producers. People that I’ve worked with before. People that I’ve never worked with before,” he explained.
The result of his years of hard work was the creation of nearly 100 songs.
“That’s not an exaggeration. I’m not saying that because it’s a nice number to say on television. We ended up with almost 100 songs,” Justin said, adding that he whittled it down to 18 that will appear on the final tracklist.
What does the album sound like? Jimmy Fallon said that it has a bit of everything.
“It’s fun, it’s dancey, it’s ballads. There’s surprises on there. It’s good. It’s a ‘whomp, whomp, whomp, whomp,’” he teased.

Justin Timberlake isn’t letting the Britney Spears memoir backlash stop him from putting out new music!
“Selfish” — which dropped Thursday morning — finds the pop superstar getting in his falsetto feels over a smooth midtempo groove.“So if I get jealous, I can’t help it/I want every bit of you, I guess I’m selfish,” he sweetly croons in the chorus that proves that, even at 42, he still possesses some of that same boy-band charm that made us fall in love with him when he was a curly-haired teen heartthrob.Indeed, after Timberlake reunited with ’N Sync last fall for the “Trolls Band Together” bop “Better Place,” “Selfish” takes him back to the swoon-worthy sincerity of his boy-band days — long before he fell victim to cancel culture for his purported misdeeds with Janet Jackson (after their 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance) and ex Britney Spears.But while the song recaptures a kind of lost innocence, it also has some muted, moody beats — think Drake — and a hint of melancholy from an older soul.“Selfish” — which reteams Timberlake with longtime producer Timbaland, while bringing in new collaborators Louis Bell (Taylor Swift, Post Malone) and Cirkut (Maroon 5, The Weeknd) — is the first single from the singer’s upcoming sixth studio album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” due March 15.Timberlake also dropped the “Selfish” video, and like the song, it’s a more subtle, subdued affair than, say, “Filthy,” from his last LP, 2018’s “Man of the Woods.”It’s just Justin singing and vibing behind the scenes, proudly rocking the grays in his beard now.The clip — directed by Bradley J.
