Justin Timberlake Gets Dragged Through the Mud in 'TKO' Video

Justin Timberlake is getting a little banged up in his latest music video, which dropped Tuesday.

While his single, "TKO," may be named after a boxing acronym, the singer isn't getting bumped and bruised in the ring. Instead, JT gets dragged through the mud -- literally tied to the bumper of a truck and dragged -- by his murderous girlfriend, played by Riley Keough (Elvis Presley's granddaughter).

We assume the concept is a (very literal) metaphor for the death of a relationship, but the overall effect is a tad (well, actually, really) dark.

"TKO' is for the fifth single off of Timblerlake's two-part album The 20/20 Experience. Both releases of the album debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard charts.

Let us know what you think of the music video's concept in the comments below.
