Selfish - Justin Timberlake - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Selfish" marked Justin Timberlake's grand return to the music scene as his first solo single since 2018's "SoulMate." Released on January 25, 2024, it served as the lead single for his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, showcasing Justin Timberlake's musical evolution. It was written by the former N'Sync member alongside Amy Allen, Theron Thomas, Henry "Cirkut" Walter, and Louis Bell, with the latter two handling the production. The origins of "Selfish" can be traced back to a moment when Justin Timberlake heard his musical director Adam Blackstone sing "Jealous Guy" by Donny Hathaway. This impromptu performance sparked a reflection on vulnerability in masculinity—a theme that is deeply woven into the track's lyrics. Musically, "Selfish" is a mid-tempo R&B ballad featuring a bossa nova drum machine and subtle organs accompanying Justin Timberlake's signature falsetto vocals. Shortly after its release, the track debuted at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the 29th solo single to reach the Top 40 in the United States.
