For better or worse it looks like Justin Timberlake is ready for a career resurgence after the disaster that was Man In The Woods, which he released five years ago.

On Monday, fans noticed that the "Cry Me a River" singer's posts had disappeared from his feed.
Meanwhile, his profile picture was cleared before being changed to a photo of himself looking into a rearview mirror.
"#justintimberlake watching social media with his imminent return with new music @jtimberlake," one fan wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), with a clip of the pop star, 42, lowering his glasses and staring intensely into the camera.
Another fan wrote alongside a clip of him dancing, "Justin Timberlake is coming!"
"So @jtimberlake has deleted everything on social media. This means an announcement soon! It’s JT’s year! Let’s go," wrote another fan.
If the social media cleanse does indicate a new album, it would mark Timberlake's sixth release — and first since 2018's Man of the Woods.
In December, he headlined the invite-only opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the latest luxury hospitality addition to the Vegas Strip. The Grammy winner performed a set of his hits to a crowd of A-list stars including Cher, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian and Lenny Kravitz.
Actress Jessica Biel was also in attendance and was her husband's biggest supporter during the set as she applauded, sang along and danced while Timberlake cycled through some of his most-loved songs. He concluded his set with "Mirrors," his song for his wife.
The “Suit & Tie” singer’s show marked only his second live performance of 2023. In November, he played another private event — Baron Capital’s annual Investment Conference, held at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York City — per Yahoo! Finance.
An insider also recently told PEOPLE that the recording artist — who reunited with his *NSYNC bandmates in September to release "Better Days" for Trolls Band Together — is “happy at home with Jess and their kids."
“He's focusing on new music,” the insider added. “He's in such a great place.”
This is a move that all the music acts have been doing, from Madonna to Beyonce. Also I mentioned during the third quarter of 2023 that JT was planning to release new music in early 2023 because venues had been booked by his team for a possible tour.
The question remains with all the drama that has been surrounding JT over the years, including all the bombshell accusations ex-girlfriend Britney Spears revealed about their relationship in her memoir, do people actually care about new JT music?
I know he had a song with Timbaland and Nelly Furtado that came and went quicker than a fart in the wind, and he's appeared on remixes of songs by Jung Kook and Coco Jones. However I'm more familiar with Usher's collab with Jung than JT's, because Usher and Jung joining forces gained a lot of traction on social media.
So while it's great JT wants to continue making new music with the same producer over and over (that would be Timbaland), I'm not sure if people are as hyped like they are for new music from Ariana Grande and Lil Nas X, who are both slated to drop their highly-anticipated new singles this week.
