Justin Timberlake has set the internet abuzz with a cryptic teaser posted on his Instagram account. The singer shared a series of photos from what seems to be a music video set, captioned with ‘EITIW,’ leaving fans speculating about the meaning behind the enigmatic message.

Speculations are rife that ‘EITIW’ could stand for ‘Everything I Thought It Was,’ with eagle-eyed fans uncovering a trademark application filed by a mysterious LLC for the phrase, as well as for ‘Everything I Thought It Was…A Sonic Film.’ The Instagram carousel also featured a poster with the words ‘MISSING’ and ‘HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?’ accompanied by tongue-in-cheek details about the ‘missing’ person.

Notably, Timberlake’s Instagram account was recently wiped clean, leaving only a profile photo of the artist. This move sparked curiosity among fans, especially considering that it could signal the beginning of a new musical era for the ‘SexyBack’ singer.

If Timberlake is indeed gearing up for a new album, it would mark his sixth studio album and his first release since 2018’s ‘Man of the Woods,’ which achieved significant success, securing the top spot on the Billboard 200 for a total of 19 weeks. Additionally, following the album’s release, Timberlake delivered a memorable performance at the Super Bowl LII halftime show in Minneapolis.

Furthermore, the artist recently reunited with *NSYNC to contribute ‘Better Place’ to the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, marking the group’s first musical release in nearly two decades. With a track record of chart-topping success and a history of delivering electrifying performances, Timberlake’s upcoming musical endeavor is highly anticipated by fans and industry insiders alike.
