Upon release the song was met with positive reviews from critics who praised both the song and Timberlake from representing R&B in a way that many contemporary songs cannot. Lyrically, the song is an ode to the joys of 'being handsome and well-dressed'.

Musically, 'Suit & Tie' is a mid-tempo R&B song, that incorporates a 'slow-drawl' consisting of slowed down synths and 'slightly out of time' drum claps, similar to the chopped and screwed remixing style. It serves as Timberlake's highly anticipated musical comeback following a six-year hiatus, during which time he pursued an acting career and developed his skills as a record producer and songwriter for other artists. The song was premiered on YouTube on January 13, 2013, and was released on January 15 by RCA Records as the lead single from the album. It features compositional samples from the 1972 song 'Sho' Nuff' by Sly, Slick and Wicked, which members are credited as co-writers to 'Suit & Tie'. It was written and produced by Timberlake, Tim ' Timbaland' Mosley and Jerome ' J-Roc' Harmon, with additional writing from James Fauntleroy and Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter.

It features a skit from American rapper Jay-Z. ' Suit & Tie' is a song by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake from his third studio album The 20/20 Experience (2013).
