Earlier this week, Justin Timberlake hinted he'd soon be dropping "Take Back the Night", the first single from his promised The 20/20 Experience sequel. The pop star has now unveiled the song, just in time for the weekend.

The track plays like vintage, Off the Wall-era MJ, with a softly grooving disco arrangement and a hefty, horn-honking mid-section framing Timberlake's butter-melting vocals. The nocturnal jam has him claiming that "if you want to do something right," you'd better stay up all night, and we're inclined to agree. Check it out in the player below.

As previously reported, the second part of The 20/20 Experience is due out on September 30.
