www.cbsnews.comHere’s the latest I can confirm about Justin Timberlake and “Suit & Tie” up to now.
- The song “Suit & Tie,” featuring Jay-Z, was released in January 2013 as the lead single from Timberlake’s album The 20/20 Experience, signaling his return to music after several years away from releasing new material.[3][7]
- It achieved strong early momentum, including record-setting first-week spins on certain charts, helping to propel the album’s release later that year.[4][8]
- There have been later reports and legal actions related to rights and sampling connected to the track, including lawsuits around licensing and usage of elements from other artists; these are separate from the song’s initial release and reception.[2][10][4]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest updates from reliable outlets or focus on a specific angle (chart performance, reception, or legal developments). Would you prefer a quick snapshot of the most recent developments or a deeper dive into one aspect?
