Justin Timberlake just delivered the first televised performances of his new era, and he included a surprise.

The 42-year-old “SexyBack” hitmaker was the musical guest on the January 27 episode of Saturday Night Live. While he snuck into a skit alongside close pal Jimmy Fallon, the biggest surprise of the night was that Justin live-debuted a new song called “Sanctified.”

A duet with Tobe Nwigwe, “Sanctified” is a midtempo with an easy production and some sensual lyrics.

“Something about / How we break all of the rules / Make a sinner feel so blessed / You take all of my wrongs,” he sings, adding, “Make me a new man / And I’m sanctified.”

He also crooned “Selfish,” the lead single to his forthcoming album Everything I Thought It Was.

Justin opted out of theatrics for both performances, singing in front of a mic stand with a subtle light show on the walls around him.
