In response, Timberlake commented, “Run it back?? 👀” while Furtado jokingly asked if she was “throwing you off” with a playful emoji.
Timbaland then seemed to confirm that some sort of collaboration is in fact in the works with a video that featured an unreleased song playing in the background.
“Oooooooo boyyyyyyy👀👀👀👀🚀🚀🚀🚀 @nellyfurtado @justintimberlake We back!!!!!!!!,” he captioned the post.
The three music stars last appeared together on Timbaland’s 2007 single “Give It to Me.” The release of the track followed a blockbuster 2006 for Furtado and Timberlake, who both put out No. 1 albums that featured Timbaland’s production.

Timbaland has since produced a number of other records for Timberlake, and in 2009, both Furtado and Timberlake appeared on songs on his albumShock Value II.
In April, the superstar producer revealed in an interview with Variety that he and Timberlake have beenhard at work on a follow-upto the singer’s 2018 albumMan of the Woods.
“We just finished up and everything sounds great,” Timbaland said. “Now it’s really on him how and when he envisions it to come out, but it’s done and it’s coming.”
He added that the new material sounds similar to that ofFutureSex/LoveSounds, as it’s “funJustin” and “nothing too heavy.”
