Elton John and Britney Spears have released a new song, “Hold Me Closer.” The duet is Spears’ first single in six years and her first music since being released from a conservatorship this past November.

“Hold Me Closer” was produced by Andrew Watt, and it’s a shimmery, disco-heavy reimagining of “Tiny Dancer” — the chorus stays true to “Tiny Dancer,” while its verses and melody recreate John’s 1992 song “The One.” It’s similar to what Elton John did with “Cold Heart,” his 2021 single with Dua Lipa.

I’m learning everyday is a clean slate to try and be a better person and do what makes me happy … yes I choose happiness today. I tell myself every day to let go of the hurt bitterness and try to forgive myself and others to what may have been hurtful.

I want to be fearless like when I was younger and not be so scared and fearful. I pray there actually is truth to the Holy Spirit and I hope that spirit is with my children as well !!! Yes … I choose happiness and joy today ☀️ !!!
