We'll soon find out: The singer, who has dabbled in acting the past few years but has returned to the studio for a hotly anticipated new album, will perform at this year's ceremony for the first time in four years.

The event will be broadcast Feb. 10 on CBS from Staples Center in Los Angeles; weeks later, on March 19, Timberlake drops The 20/20 Experience, his brand-new record following a seven-year hiatus. He released the lyric video for his latest single, "Suit and Tie," last week. The song scored a record-breaking debut, arriving at No. 14 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart.

The six-time Grammy winner's previous album, the quintuple-platinum FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), spawned such hits as "SexyBack," "My Love" and "What Goes Around ... Comes Around" not to mention the coolest midsong breakdown ever on "LoveStoned."
