Justin Timberlake, who has delivered a string of smash hits over the years with producer Timbaland, might be collaborating with pop sensation Justin Bieber very soon. In a video posted by Timbaland on his social media accounts, the legendary hip-hop producer can be seen sitting alongside Timberlake, listening to some brand new beats in the studio. Timbaland captioned the tweet "Back together again" followed by a folded hand emoji.

But, what has truly caught the attention of the netizens is a video doing rounds which shows Justin Bieber in the studio along with Timbaland and Timberlake. Bieber, seated at a piano, plays notes while Timberlake, Timbaland and others, with glasses in their hands, jam to the notes being belted out by the 'Holy' singer. The official Pop Crave account posted screenshots from the now-deleted video and wrote, "Justin Timberlake hits the studio with Justin Bieber, Timbaland, Hitboy, Ty Dolla $ign, Justine Sky and more in recent Instagram stories."

Excited fans were quick to react and hoped for a collaboration between the two pop superstars. One fan, hoping that the news comes true, tweeted, "Timbaland, Justin Bieber & Justin Timberlake in the studio together!! You know what’s coming," while another, calling the possible collab 'huge' said, "Why have I not seen a single tweet about the fact Justin Bieber is in the studio with Justin Timberlake?!?!? This is HUGE!"

Another fan, reminding us of the time when Timberlake wanted to sign Bieber, wrote, "You Guys remember that Usher and Justin Timberlake fought about who is going to be Justin Bieber‘s Mentor? Obviously don’t think Usher made anything wrong. But I do sometimes wonder how Justin Bieber‘s career would have gone so far with Justin Timberlake on his side." A different fan, excited about the two singers coming together, said, "Justin Bieber went from making covers of Justin Timberlake to hanging out with him and being at the studio together, the way i'm crying for this glow up."

Timbaland and Justin Timberlake have collaborated on every album the 'SexyBack' singer has ever released; namely 'Justified', 'FutureSex/LoveSounds', 'The 20/20 Experience', 'The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2' and 'Man of the Woods'. All these albums, with the exception of 'Justified', hit #1 on the Billboard 200 album charts. Timberlake was last heard on Meek Mill's track 'Believe'. His 2016 single 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' was the last single to reach the top position on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Bieber, on the other hand, recently released a new track titled 'Holy' featuring Chance the Rapper which reached the top position in his home country of Canada and #3 in the US. He also released his fifth studio album, 'Changes', which spawned the singles 'Yummy', 'Intentions' and 'Forever'. He also dropped a charity single, 'Stuck with U', with Ariana Grande which debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100.
