Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon are releasing a new holiday song, “You’ll Be There,” celebrating their legendary friendship. The track is featured on Fallon’s upcoming Christmas album Holiday Seasoning, out November 1st.
On a recent episode of The Tonight Show, the duo shared some hilarious behind-the-scenes moments from recording the song. Timberlake joked about how they ended up in the iconic Electric Lady studios, saying, “We had no business recording this song at such a fantastic, world famous studio,” to which Fallon quickly replied, “What are you talking about? This is a high quality song!”
The session, which should have taken a couple of hours, stretched into eight or nine because they couldn’t stop laughing. Fallon described “You’ll Be There” as a playful song about their bromance, with Timberlake adding, “It’s us saying, like, ‘Hey, you’ll be there. You’ll be there for me this Christmas.’”
The song kicks off with a ukulele, which Timberlake joked, “Nothing says Christmas like a ukulele.” The pair teased a few lines: “Tell me you’ll be there / Whenever the snow starts falling … Tell me that you’ll be there / The only thing on my wishlist is that you’ll be home for Christmas.” Fans can expect more fun like this when Holiday Seasoning drops on November 1st! Order the album now.
