While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Justin explained that he made Everything I Thought It Was over the course of four years and explained that it was a different process for him thanks to the pandemic and the birth of his second son with Jessica Biel.

Previously, he said, “I would just go in for a block of time and say, ‘This is what we made, and this is what it is.’”

How was this time different? “I was going back and forth. Two weeks writing, coming back for a month. And just doing what we call writer camps, where I would work with different songwriters, work with different producers. People that I’ve worked with before. People that I’ve never worked with before,” he explained.

The result of his years of hard work was the creation of nearly 100 songs.

“That’s not an exaggeration. I’m not saying that because it’s a nice number to say on television. We ended up with almost 100 songs,” Justin said, adding that he whittled it down to 18 that will appear on the final tracklist.

What does the album sound like? Jimmy Fallon said that it has a bit of everything.

“It’s fun, it’s dancey, it’s ballads. There’s surprises on there. It’s good. It’s a ‘whomp, whomp, whomp, whomp,’” he teased.

Fans will get to experience Justin‘s new album on The Forget Tomorrow World Tour. The first string of dates have been announced, and it kicks off in North America in late April 2024.

The hitmaker will take the show into Europe with dates coming soon.

Fans will be able to access tickets to the first shows starting on January 29 if they are part of Justin‘s fan club. There are also presale events for Verizon and Citi users. The general onsale begins on February 2.

Justin has even more planned, including being the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Check out a teaser for that to get more details!
