Don't worry it will go up.
Give the song time (and exect massive promotion: I can see Justin performing it first at The Grammys... Neil Portnow has always had a huge spot for him, and using him as a safe card whenever in need - i.e., when in 2009 for obvious reasons Rihanna and Chris Brown couldn't show up... he called Justin in a few second: of course he'll give him a huge spot now that he's back and needs huge platform to perform).
I am a decent proof (so are my friends) that the song is actually a huge grower after you've been submitted to it enough (in Italy we are cos they spin it constantly on radio).
It still feel too long and it would work better as a 3.30 minutes song than not a + 5 minutes one, but the laid back vibe after a while is captivating and although is still not a memorable song, its current diversity from other songs will make people like it more and more as they keep being submitted to it.
I am also sure the video will be amazing, he is a consummate performer and I can see some nakedness and some sexy and some smooth Michael Jackson's reminiscing moves there (like the hints in the lyric video confirms).
The lyric video already was a super production so imagine how the real video will be.
It can easily become a top three hit... it may even go to number one but it all depends on the competition it will face, and the timing of peaking of its sales+airplay (Thrift Shop can rule at least 6 + weeks if nothing happens to it, and this may hurt Timberlake's chances) .
It's not the strongest comeback single... but it still Justin Timberlake and people will always be there for him.
No fears
