Updated 3/16/2024:
Justin Timberlake’s Tiny Desk performance dropped yesterday, you can watch it below!
Justin Timberlake Tiny Desk Setlist:
- “Senotira”
- “Rock Your Body”
- “Pusher Love Girl”
- “Until the End of Time”
- “Selfish”
- “What Goes Around…”
- “Sexyback”
I got five of the six correct, you can see my predictions below!
Looks like a Justin Timberlake Tiny Desk concert is coming as an appetizer for his upcoming Forget Tomorrow World Tour kicks off next month in Vancoucer B.C. Mary Louise Kelly, Host NPR’s All Things Considered was in attendance for the performance:
“They told me not to play this at Tiny Desk,” says Justin Timberlake, before proceeding to bring the house down with SexyBack. Thank you for playing the newsroom today, @jtimberlake @npr #tinydesk pic.twitter.com/6zFdqzZ6Mb

What are NPR Tiny Desk Concerts:
Tiny Desk concerts go back to 2008 when host Bob Boilen and NPR Music Editor Stephen Thompson talked about performance at South By Southwest (SXSW) being too loud. The pair joked that the concert should happen at Boilen’s desk instead, and Tiny Desk was born. The first artist who performed on Tiny Desk, Laura Gibson, was the artist they saw at SXSW.
In recent episodes Tiny Desk has given us this viral, Usher, moment
The original artists featured were considered “hipster-infused indie rock,” but the series has since expanded and including more genres. Including featuring artists like Young Jeezy, Scarface, Usher, Monica and Post Malone on recent episodes.
I would expect that this Justin Timberlake Tiny Desk concert will drop sometime next week. JT’s new album, Everything I Thought it Was, which drops next Friday, March 15th and this would be a great way to promote it.
It’s also a great way for Timberlake to promote his world tour, which kicks off April 29th in Vancouver and wraps up December 16th in Indianapolis. The show will make a stop in Detroit on October 25th.

Recent performances are six songs, so if it was up to me here are the songs I’d like to see (in no particular order):
- “Senorita”
- “Sexyback”
- “Until the End of Time”
- “What Goes Around… Comes Around”
- “Not a Bad Thing”
- “Selfish”
Two of those I don’t think will be on the setlist; “Not a Bad Thing” and “Selfish.” Hoping for the former (my favorite recent song of his) and the latter being his latest single.
