"Football and music go hand-in-hand, like the iconic Timbaland and Justin Timberlake duo, who collaborate on music to near perfection," said ESPN Senior Director of Sports Marketing Curtis Friends. "ESPN's Monday Night Football music curatorship is popular with fans given the access this partnership provides to new and unexpected combinations of music with sport. We've had Diplo, DJ Khaled, Drake, and Marshmello and this fifth season, for the first time, we have two curators in Timbaland/JT we know will energize all us fans for this NFL football season."
For the first act of the curation, Timbaland and Timberlake - alongside Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado - are releasing a new single, 'Keep Going Up' via Mosley Music Group/Def Jam Recordings, which will be the track for ESPN's Week 1 Monday Night Football promotional spot featuring Aaron Rodgers' New York Jets debut against the Buffalo Bills.
