Justin Timberlake shocks fans as he teases release of a new song with Coco Jones
Justin Timberlake took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce a new song with R&B music artist Coco Jones.
The 42-year-old hitmaker — who attended a SZA concert earlier this year — shared a joint post with the songstress on their respective accounts.
They uploaded a screenshot of themselves laughing during a FaceTime phone call along with a snippet of their new tune.
The duo acknowledged their commonality of being Tennessee natives as they teased the news.
'Just a couple of Tennessee kids,' they wrote with a fire emoji. 'We got something coming for you tomorrow.'

In the photo Coco, 25, sat in the backseat of a car as she made her way to the 2023 ESPY Awards on Wednesday night.
Visible in the snapshot were her long, bedazzled deep blue nails, which coordinated with her velvet PatBo cutout dress.
Coco held her hand over her mouth as she cheesed, with Justin wearing the same expression on his face.
Her hair was arranged in a side part with the locks flowing down her back.
For his part, Justin was seen in the bottom right corner of the screen, dressed in a button-up white shirt and a black jacket.
Jones is fresh off her 2023 BET Awards Best New Artist win, which she accepted on June 25 at the star-studded ceremony.
She got emotional during her speech, wiping away tears as she cried, 'I am so happy - oh, thank you, Jesus.'
'It has been a long journey,' she said. 'Thank you, God, for rocking with me the whole time. Thank you to my culture, who has stood beside me, raised together, been a really long journey, thank you to my team, thank you for taking a chance on me.'

Jones emerged victorious over fellow nominees Ambré, Doechii, FLO, GloRilla, Ice Spice and Lola Brooke.
'I do want to thank God, give him all the glory,' she said again. 'I'm so thankful, so thank you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.'
The musician was born in Columbia, South Carolina and raised in Lebanon, Tennessee.
For Wednesday night's award show she was styled by Jyotisha Bridges, who also dressed her for the BET Awards and the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
She stunned as she took the red carpet by storm in her plunging, curve-hugging number.
The sexy dress bared her pert cleavage and flashed her toned tummy with its cutouts that extended to the back of the dress.
The textured look was dripping in glinting rhinestones and crystal beads that were hand-strung in Brazil, according to WWD.
And the music artist elevated her outfit with the addition of Anabela Chan earrings and Candy Ice rings.

Justin has been keeping busy raising his two young sons Silas and Phineas with wife Jessica Biel.
In March he took part in a spring 2023 campaign for Louis Vuitton, appearing as a model for its collaboration with avant-garde Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.
That same month he praised his wife as he wished her a happy birthday on Instagram.
'Let me tell y'all about this human… she is the most bad***, most graceful, most gorgeous DREAM of a partner I could have ever wished for. And today is her bday! I'm so glad you were born, my love. And, I'm so lucky that you are choosing to do this thing called life with me. Aging like a FINE [wine emoji] !!!! I love you to the moon and back. (sic)'
Justin's most recent album, Man of the Woods, was released five years ago in February 2018.
His longtime collaborator Timbaland revealed in April that Justin's upcoming album is 'done' but did not reveal a release date.
'I just left working with him, we just finished up and everything sounds great. Now it’s really on him how he plans to wrap it up and how and when he envisions it to come out,' he told Variety.
