So, earlier this week, Justin Timberlake dropped a dramatic video announcing his new album, Man of the Woods, and, also, the fact that he would be releasing a new single, "Filthy."
"Filthy" is his first new song since 2016's "Can't Stop the Feeling," and Man of the Woods is his first new album since 2013's The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2.
Well, late last night, Justin dropped "Filthy," and the video for it. And, well, people on Twitter had OPINIONS.
