No need to keep crying a river, Justin Timberlake fans...Your boy is back!

Yes, the singer recently announced he'll be dropping a new song called "Can't Stop the Feeling" on Friday, but that's only the beginning. J.T. is set to release a whole new album sometime soon, following up on his successful two-part 20/20 Experience, which came out three years ago in 2013.

So this bodes the question: what can we expect from his fourth solo album? Here's everything we know so far:

Things Might Get a Little Country: Despite deriving from Tennessee, Timberlake has never taken a dive into the country scene. However, people raved over "Drink You Away," which would probably encourage him to do similar songs.

In fact, his longtime producer Timbaland told TMZ last November, "We are country. He's from Tennessee and I'm from Virginia. It's only right that we try to tap into what we were raised on. Now it's a new generation of country, so 'Drink You Way' was done on The 20/20 Experience but it's only now starting to be one of the biggest songs."

He continued, "We always wanted to do country music –we thought some of our lyrics were country. I'm already posted up in Nashville, so that's something I want to do. I don't discriminate between genres. I learn it, I study it, and I love it."

There Will Probably be Some Big Collaborations: From Pharrell to Little Big Town, J.T. has been posting quite a few photos from the studio, revealing that he's been working with some big names on all different aspects of the music making process.

He captioned the photo above, "NBD... Just writing with @littlebigtown This band is the truth!! So good!!!!"

"Can't Stop the Feeling" Is Already a Hit: If the first single is any indication of the new album as a whole, things are looking good. People who already got the chance to listen to the new track have taken to Twitter to sing J.T.'s praises.

Scott Vener described it, tweeting, "its on some dance MJ meets BILL WITHERS disco and u prob think I'm kidding but I'm not."

Michael Bennett from Amp Radio said, "This @jtimberlake is one of the best records I've heard this year. Can't wait to play it for u on Fri."

Toby Knapp added, "@jtimberlake #CantStopTheFeeling will #MakePopRadioGreatAgain!"

J.T. tweeted that the song will be dropped at 12 a.m. EST, and we truly can't wait!
