Cruising in his old-school Pontiac GTO and dressing sharp, JT calls on Laban Pheidias to create his official lyric video for his new smooth single 'Suit & Tie' featuring Hov. Although Jay-Z isn't featured in the lyric video, Justin Timberlake gives fans a heads up 'don't blink or you'll miss it. #SuitAndTie #JT2013' tweeted JT referring to revealing the release date for upcoming album '20/20 Experience' arriving March 19th.

"My intention was to make this fully realized and a lot of it has to do with Justin,". "He pays attention to detail and him being so excited and passionate about the project was really good for me. I wanted this to be able to bridge that gap and go up against official videos."
Consider this an unconventional Valentine's Day gift...the official video for Suit & Tie!!! -teamJT #JT2013
We are pleased to present the OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO for "Suit & Tie ft. JAY Z". (Remember a few weeks ago, we teased you with the black & white lyric video of "Suit & Tie featuring JAY Z"?)
Fun facts? This was directed by David Fincher, who directed Justin in The Social Network. Before Fincher directed his trademark edgy films like Seven, Fight Club, and Panic Room, he cut his teeth making iconic music videos, including Madonna's "Express Yourself" and The Rolling Stones' "Love Is Strong", amongst others.
