After Britney Spears shared a new version of her iconic hit Baby One More Time, she and Elton John have debuted their long-awaited duet Hold Me Closer. The title is taken from Elton John’s hit Tiny Dancer released in 1971.

After several weeks of the two artists joking around on social media and previewing a bit of this collaboration, the song is finally available on streaming platforms and on Elton John’s YouTube channel, according to EFE.

It is a disco song influenced by the dance genre with plenty of references to other music by both singers. Although it is heavily influenced by Tiny Dancer, the song also winks at other songs such as Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, which Elton John released in 1976.

The option to pre-save this single was enabled in early August and recently there were even rumors that it had been leaked. After this, all kinds of theories circulated on social media about how fans had been able to access the song, its theme and style, EFE said. Filed Under: Britney Spears premieres duet

In addition, the cover of this collab was revealed on August 8 and on the 19th fans already knew its official title. The name is based on the first three lines of the chorus of Tiny Dancer, which John wrote with his partner Bernie Taupin for the album Madman Across the Water.

Hold Me Closer is Spears’ first single since her album Glory, released on August 26, 2016. It’s also the first since she was released from her 13-year legal guardianship in November 2021. Filed Under: Britney Spears premieres duet
