"Señorita" (Spanish for "Miss") is the fourth single from Justin Timberlake's solo debut album Justified. Released in 2003, the Neptunes-produced single peaked at #27 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #13 in the UK.

"Senorita"'s baseline and basic instrumentals were licensed by Timberlake from Michael Jackson's Thriller album on Sony Records. The lyrics, although different, were sung in a tune similar to those in a B-Side Jackson track.

While hosting SNL in 2003 he performed this song while fake playing the keyboard followed by a small skit where he sang with Kermit the Frog and his puppet holder Bill. The two would proceed to sing the song "Rainbow Connection" where in the middle of the song he begins a fight with Bill.

Timberlake performed the song live at the 2004 Grammy Awards accompanied by Latin jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval.
