The collaboration with Sir Elton John marks Britney Spears’s first music release since 2016, and fans are going wild for the new track.
Britney Spears is back. Almost six years after she last released new music, Spears has teamed up with Sir Elton John to kick off her long-awaited comeback.
«Hold Me Closer» is the first song Spears has released since being freed from the conservatorship imposed on her in 2008 by her father Jamie Spears, which controlled almost every part of her life.
Since being released from the conservatorship, Spears has been able to oversee her own career, finances, and personal and private decisions.
The duet between Spears and John is a mix of three of his hits: «Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,» «Tiny Dancer,» and «The One.»
Already, the song has officially hit #1 on the U.S. and U.K. iTunes charts, less than 24 hours since its release on Friday, August 26.
Throughout the track, fans get to hear a snippet of Spears’s solo voice, including her saying her iconic «baby» from the 1998 hit «Baby One More Time.»
«Hold Me Closer» is Spears’s first official single since «Slumber Party» from her 2016 album «Glory,» and it’s fair to say, Spears fans simply cannot get enough of the song.
