context_page_description: "Suit & Tie" is a song by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake from his third studio album The 20/20 Experience. It features a skit from American rapper JAY-Z. It was written and produced by Timberlake, Tim "Timbaland" Mosley and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, with additional writing from James Fauntleroy, Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter and Sly, Slick and Wicked. The song was premiered on YouTube on January 13, 2013, and was released on January 15 by RCA Records as the lead single from the album. It serves as Timberlake's highly anticipated musical comeback following a six-year hiatus, during which time he pursued an acting career and developed his skills as a record producer and songwriter for other artists.
  Musically, "Suit & Tie" is a mid-tempo R&B song, that incorporates a "slow-drawl" consisting of slowed down synths and "slightly out of time" drum claps, similar to the chopped and screwed remixing style. Lyrically, the song is an ode to the joys of "being handsome and well-dressed". Upon release the song was met with positive reviews from critics who praised both the song and Timberlake from representing R&B in a way that many contemporary songs cannot.

Timberlake was the host and musical guest of Saturday Night Live episode on March 9, 2013, where he performed "Suit & Tie" with Jay-Z and "Mirrors.".
  On August 25, 2013, Timberlake performed "Suit & Tie" in a medley with other of his songs at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. The song is part of the set list of Timberlake's 2013/15 The 20/20 Experience World Tour.
  A shortened selection of "Suit & Tie" was included in Timberlake's Super Bowl LII halftime show performance in 2018, and featured the University of Minnesota Marching Band playing backup instrumentals.
