Justin Timberlake recently debuted the new music video for his newly released single "Suit And Tie" and the singer has opted for a black and white retro theme that compliments the song's old-school sound.

Dressed in Tom Ford and surrounded by beautiful women, the singer resembles a 1930s Hollywood movie star. Jay-Z, who is featured on the song, makes an appearance in the video which was directed by famed director David Fincher, according to E! News.

"Here it is…All pressed up in black and white," Timberlake tweeted on Feb. 14, which happened to be Valentines day.

The single, marking Timberlake's first in seven years, is the first off of the 32-year-old's upcoming third studio album "The 20/20 Experience," according to CBS News.

"The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs," Timberlake wrote in a letter to fans.

"It was probably the best time I've had in my career... Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process," he went on. "What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way."

"Suit & Tie" has already made history following its Jan. 13 release. On Tuesday, the song was listed as having the most number of airplays in the 20-year history of pop songs chart, according to Celebscoop U.K.

The song has reportedly been played 6045 times across U.S. radio stations since its release, making it the most-played track in the history of pop since Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."

Fans took to social networking site Twitter on Thursday to weigh in on the video. "Suit And Tie" has been deemed by critics as Timberlake's "come back" single.

"Love it, great imagery!!! I'd have preferred it to be in color to be honest. The lights sequence is hypnotic. Water dance too," JohnSant87 tweeted.

"Amazing job!! I loved it!! Praying I can see it live this summer ;) #SuitandTie," SuzieQ tweeted.

"welcome back JT you have been missed! Suit n Tie....LOVE!!!," Kitty Carter tweeted.
