\n\tJustin Timberlake<\/a> is under the weather but still hard at work promoting his new song \u201cSelfish.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pop star posted a video of himself performing an acoustic version of the single on Instagram on Saturday (Feb. 3).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cStill getting over the flu which makes it silly to sing so excuse the raspy voice but messing around with an acoustic version of SELFISH,\u201d Timberlake wrote to fans.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the clip, Timberlake offered a quiet, stripped-down take of \u201cSelfish\u201d on acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n

\n\tJT has performed \u201cSelfish,\u201d his first solo release in more than five years, a number of times since its Jan. 25 release<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe debuted the song\u00a0live at a free hometown concert\u00a0<\/a>in Memphis on Jan. 19. He then played a snippet of it with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on classroom instruments<\/a> for The Tonight Show<\/em> on Jan. 25, and he brought the full track to the SNL<\/em> stage on Jan. 27<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tTimberlake also played \u201cSelfish\u201d for the crowd during his one-night-only show<\/a>\u00a0on Jan. 31 at New York City\u2019s Irving Plaza, a concert that made headlines when he introduced his 2002 hit \u201cCry Me a River\u201d by saying, \u201cI\u2019d like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely f\u2014ing nobody. \u201cCry Me a River\u201d is believed to be about his split from Britney Spears, whom he dated from 1999 to 2002.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSomeone told me someone was talking s\u2014 about me on the streets,\u201d Spears seemingly wrote in response<\/a>\u00a0on Instagram. \u201cDo you want to bring it to the court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time ??? I\u2019m not sorry !!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTimberlake\u2019s remark came after Spears seemed to apologize for calling him out in her memoir,\u00a0The Woman in Me<\/em>, and praised his new single. \u201cI wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry,\u201d Spears wrote in a since deleted post without naming names, before adding, \u201cI am so in love with Justin Timberlake\u2019s new song \u2018Selfish.\u2019 It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ???\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch Timberlake\u2019s acoustic performance of \u201cSelfish\u201d in the Instagram video below. He\u2019ll be heading out on tour<\/a> beginning April 29 to support his upcoming sixth solo album,\u00a0Everything I Thought It Was<\/em>.<\/p>\n
