"Take Back The Night" Teaser Might Offer Some Clue Into Justin Timberlake's "20/20' Sequel

  • 10 July 2013

Has Justin Timberlake gone social activist? Well, apparently not, as besides the slogan of an anti-rape campaign, this is also apparently the name of Timberlake’s upcoming single, fourth off his album The 20/20 Experience. As usual, the Tunnel Vision singer remained mysterious in the teaser for the new video… he also remained in grayscale, another Timberlake trademark of late.

The video shows Justin, sporting a much more casual getup than we’re used to seeing him in of late and holding a series of signs. The cue cards have the names and dates of his most recent videos. Timberlake exits a convertible and holds up the cue cards, reading: "'Suit & Tie,' January 14," "'Mirrors,' February 11," "The 20/20 Experience, March 19," "Take Back The Night," and then, a mysteriously blurred cue card that presumably bears the release date of the as-yet to be released single.

We even get to hear a little sneak preview, as JT enters the club behind him, in which “Take Back The Night” is conveniently playing. "Take back the night / C'mon use me up until there's nothing left / Take back the night / Dizzy, spinnin', sweatin', you can't catch your breath," Timberlake croons, as the video fades out.

This is only a teaser of what we might expect in the future though, as the unusually productive singer recently announced a sequel album to 20/20, which is slated to drop on September 20. Could the brief video be a teaser for that as well? Well, if we know anything about Justin Timberlake, there will be plenty of buildup and hints dropped before the big event.
