Justin Timberlake To Perform “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” For The First Time At Eurovision Finale

Justin Timberlake will be shuffling his feet on stage while performing “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” for the first time in Stockholm this weekend at — wait for it — Eurovision. While that might be a bit of a head-scratcher, considering America has been primarily absent from the annual song contest since, well, its inception (hence its name, Eurovision), let’s not forget that the grand final will be broadcast live in the States (on Logo) for this first time ever this year, on Saturday, May 14.

JT has been ruling the iTunes song chart since Friday, when “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” was released. Co-produced by himself, Max Martin and Shellback, the Trolls soundtrack cut marks Timberlake and Martin’s first collaboration in 16 years — with their last being *NSYNC‘s “It’s Gonna Be Me,” which the Swedish producer co-wrote.

In a statement, Eurovision producer Sven Stojanovic said, “This is a fantastic opportunity, we are very happy and excited that Justin Timberlake will perform his new song together with his band in our show. It makes it extra special that the Swedish songwriters Max Martin and Shellback have co-written and co-produced the song together with Justin Timberlake.”

“Can’t Stop The Feeling!” is just one of four songs by Timberlake that will appear on the upcoming Trolls soundtrack.

Meanwhile, Max Martin and Shellback’s own movie work doesn’t just end with Justin’s new single; they also worked with Pink on Alice Through the Looking Glass single “Just Like Fire.”
