It\u2019s an energy you can feel in both the song and music video. I can\u2019t wait for people to check it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Timberlake added: \u201cIt has been such a fun process writing and executive producing for this project. Being able to bring together different creatives from various disciplines and genres has been the most rewarding part. Creating something that serves the movie while still being able to exist apart from it has been a fun challenge that was made even more exciting by working with the other amazing artists that helped us put this together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the&nbsp;<em>Trolls<\/em> soundtrack, Timberlake most recently collaborated with Meek Mill on the single <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/meek-mill-justin-timberlake-believe-949356\/\">\u201cBelieve.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SZA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/sza-megan-thee-stallion-normani-first-time-video-957729\/\">appeared on the cover<\/a> of the March Women\u2019s Issue of <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>, alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/normani\/\">Normani<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/megan-thee-stallion\/\">Megan Thee Stallion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/justin-timberlake-sza-the-other-side-music-video-958256\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Timberlake and SZA have released a new song from the&nbsp;Trolls World Tour soundtrack, and while that might not inspire much hope, the song is very good.
