Justin Timberlake has dropped a surprise single and it's already a hit with fans. The pop star announced the new song on Twitter tweeting the artwork, which shows a couple on a beach with the word 'Soulmate' written across it.
The new song isn't just a summer hit in the making, it has also been produced by Nineteen85, who is known for his work with two of the biggest rappers around, Drake and Nicki Minaj.
Justin's fans have already started respond to the new single saying they love it, one fan said, 'Yesss! I just heard it! It’s beautiful Justin!' sic
Another fan tweeted a gif of Lisa from The Simpsons saying, '"Let me be your soulmate...for the niiiiiight." 🎶💃🏾 #SummerStartsNow'. sic
To coincide with the release of the artwork Justin also dropped the audio onto YouTube overnight. The description on YouTube says, 'SUMMER STARTS NOW', and it most definitely does if you take a listen. Starting with the words "Summer starts now", this song is a very chilled summer song, that will make you imagine you're on the beach basking in the sun.

Rihanna
Remember when it was normal to expect a Rihanna album near enough every year? 'Rated R', 'Loud', 'Talk That Talk' and 'Unapologetic' were all released within 12 months of each other. However, she has been busy with Fenty beauty so we can anticipate a 2018 release to make up for lost time.
Cheryl
Former Girls Aloud star Cheryl is putting in 100% for her comeback album and has even recruited star producer Naughty Boy to produce a track (or two?). She took to her socials to share some exciting news which hinted that she was in the studio with her former band mate Nicola Roberts. Possible 2018 album? We think so!
Rita Ora
She has four UK Number 1 hit singles but due to label conflicts, we've been waiting since 2012 for a follow up to her debut album, 'Ora'. Thankfully, now signed to Atlantic, her album is scheduled for 2018.
Nick Jonas
Following his 2016 album 'Last Year Was Complicated' - a break-up album, the ex-Jonas brother has promised his new music in 2018 and a potential party album. Yes!
Little Mix
The four ladies never rest! Having dominated the Top 40 all year long with 'Glory Days', rumour has it that we should be expecting a little something on the later side of 2018. Take your time ladies, but not too long!
Selena Gomez
It's been a long time coming. The singer has released 'It Ain't Me', 'Bad Liar', 'Fetish' and 'Wolves' all in the last year and undergone a life-changing kidney transplant. Selena is in better spirits and has an album coming. She has confirmed "there is an album" and "it will be out very soon". We're rooting for you Gomez.
Rag'n'Bone Man
He confirmed in an interview he has 10 songs ready for a second album so why wouldn't he release it this year? This would follow-up his chart-topping debut LP 'Human'.
Liam Payne
The pop artist has already released 3 major tracks, 'Strip That Down', 'Bedroom Floor' and 'Get Low' with DJ Zedd. In a recent interview he said his album is "out in January". Well, we're waiting Liam!
