It’ll mark Spears’ first material since her most recent album, 2016’s ‘Glory’ (an outtake from that record, ‘Swimming In The Stars’, came out in late 2020).Taking to Twitter today (August 25), the singer wrote: “Okie dokie … my first song in 6 years!!!!

It’s pretty damn cool that I’m singing with one of the most classic men of our time … [Elton John].“I’m kinda overwhelmed… it’s a big deal to me !!!

I’m meditating more and learning my space is valuable and precious !!!”Spears continued: “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.
