Justin Timberlake’s new song “Can’t Stop the Feeling” is everywhere these days! The tune debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart, is getting massive radio play and is selling up a storm. Now JT has released the smash hit’s official music video.
“Can’t Stop the Feeling” - the Grammy winner’s first new song since the 2013 album “The 20/20 Experience” - is the lead single from the upcoming DreamWorks Animation film “Trolls.” Timberlake executive produced the movie’s soundtrack (which is slated to come out Sept. 23 from RCA Records) and also voices one of the lead characters in the animated feature (due Nov. 4) named Branch.
On May 6, Timberlake premiered his new tune via a “first listen” music video that featured several of his “Trolls” co-stars - including Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Kunal Nayyar and Ron Funches - lip-synching the song’s happy lyrics. The clip has been watched more than 23.5 million times.
Directed by Mark Romanek, the official music video features everyday people from all walks of life and Timberlake, of course, happily grooving along to the feel-good track. Everyone loves the upbeat music and has their own unique way of expressing their joy through dance. Whether it’s a child hanging out at his hotel pool, a burly mechanic, a pretty housewife or an older supermarket clerk, nothing can stop them from moving once this infectious tune starts to play.
