Justin Timberlake releases new song 'Suit and Tie'

(AP) Mr. SexyBack is back.

Justin Timberlake released his new single, Suit and Tie, late Sunday night. It features rapper Jay-Z.

The upbeat jam is the 31-year-old's first musical offering since 2006's critically acclaimed FutureSex/LoveSounds. His third solo album, The 20/20 Experience, will be out later this year.

In a letter posted on his website, Timberlake said he began recording music in June. He wrote that the inspiration for this really came out of the blue.

Timberlake co-wrote and co-produced Suit and Tie with Timbaland, who produced much of the Grammy-winning FutureSex/LoveSounds.

The buzz around the pop star's return to music kicked off Friday when he posted a video on his website that showed him walking into a studio, putting on headphones and saying: I'm ready.
