Hold me closer because Britney Spears is back!
 

Elton John and the pop icon released their highly anticipated song, Hold Me Closer, on Friday, and it is a banger.
 

"A joyous dance future-anthem dripping with summer abandon, Hold Me Closer sees two of the most iconic artists of all time come together for the first time on record," reads a press statement.
 

Revealing how the collab came about, the statement reads: "A subsequent tweet in 2015 from Britney Spears professing her love of Elton's 1971 classic Tiny Dancer sparked the idea for the collaboration with Elton, and the stars finally aligned this summer."
 

The reimaged track also features elements of other classic songs from John's legendary catalogue, including, The One and Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
