In 2007, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Nelly Furtado teamed up for their hit song "Give it to Me," a track from Timbaland's album "Shock Value."

Now, 16 years later, the trio is hoping lightning will strike twice with their new collab, "Keep Going Up."

Released on Friday, Sept. 1, alongside the audio, comes a visualizer that shows a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new song.

With clips of them in the studio, to snippets of FaceTime calls, the visuals show how the catchy, new single came to be.

As for the lyrics, Timberlake, Timbaland and Furtado each take turns sharing updates on how they've been doing, with Timberlake and Furtado asserting in the chorus, "I keep goin', I keep goin', I keep goin' up."

"Keep Going Up" is the first single from Timbaland's forthcoming EP, "Textbook Timbo," due out this fall.
