Justin Timberlake's new song title has caused a stir with many convinced he's aiming at ex Britney Spears.
The dust had recently settled after Toxic singer Britney, 42, released her memoir The Woman In Me detailing her turbulent relationship with Justin, her abortion while they dated and cheating claims.
Justin became the target of Britney fans worldwide and now he could be getting his own back.
The N*SYNC star, 42, recently announced his comeback with new album Everything I Thought I Was, and confirmed his new single titled Selfish will be released on January 25.
It's certainly an interesting choice of title and some have pointed out that Selfish is also a bonus song on Britney's 2011 album Femme Fatale.
@killacanary: 'The fact that Justin Timberflake is tryna cover Britney's best bonus track!!! he stays tryna ride the coattails of her success!!!! #loser.'
Referring to Britney's bombshell book, @jorgescribe added: 'Selfish? Oh yeah. I read that in The Woman in Me.'
@PromoSpears bluntly stated: 'I prefer Princess Of Pop,' while @PromoSpears said: 'We stan with Britney Spears.'
However, some Justin fans were rushing to his defence and noted that NSYNC also have a song with the same title.
@theecaligirl88 hit back: 'I swear Justin can't do s**t without you all thinking he's copying out that woman, *NSYNC have a song called selfish plus some artists have songs called selfish Britney Spears ain't the only one.'

Britney's memoir was like Pandora's Box (Picture: Getty Images) Many have pointed out that Britney also has a song called Selfish, as does NSYNC (Picture: La Pictures5)SexyBack hitmaker Justin was heavily condemned following the release of Britney's memoir, which also sparked renewed interest in his song Cry Me A River, reportedly written about their big break-up.
After catching heat, Justin later appeared to apologise to Britney before performing his track in December.
'No disrespect,' he said to fans packed into the 5,000 seater venue, before the song's iconic rain-drenched intro played, seemingly addressing his famous ex.
Britney, who was released from her restrictive conservatorship in 2021, had been taking some time away from the spotlight and deleted her Instagram account. However, she returned this month and is back on form with her unique style of posts.
