This is the great musical comeback of Britney Spears after her highly publicized lifting of guardianship.
On August 26, the new single from the singer of "Baby One More Time" will be released in duet with Elton John.
The latter published the cover of this unreleased track and the release date on Instagram, followed by an extract on the Tik Tok platform.

A post shared by Elton John (@eltonjohn)
On the Instagram post, we see two side photos next to the two child stars, smiling.
The first wears a bright pink tutu, while the other, dressed more soberly, pretends to play the piano.
The two artists cover a cult song by the singer
“Hold Me Closer” is a remix of the cult single “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John, from the album “Madman Across the Water” released in 1971. In the extract broadcast on TikTok, we hear the interpreter of “ I'm Still Standing" resume the refrain of the original song: "Hold me closer, tiny dancer / Count the headlights on the highway", accompanied by the princess of pop.
A year earlier, Elton John had invited pop-star Dua Lipa to sing a remix of “Rocket Man” and “Sacrifice” with him in the song “Cold Heart”.
A daring bet which had paid off since the piece had ranked at the top of the charts in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia.
