The singers - who together have 90 years of experience in the music industry - will collaborate for "
Hold Me Closer

Britney Spears and her boyfriend Sam Asghari recently announced that the singer had a miscarriage.

The measure was decided in 2008 due to psychological disorders of the star, who called it "
abusive
" and which, according to her, prevented her from removing her contraceptive IUD despite her desire to have more children .
