Earlier in the week, the singer split an Instagram post to thank her partner for inviting her to this single.
“Damn cool to sing with one of the most classic men of our time...@eltonofficial!!!!.
I'm a little overwhelmed...it's a big deal for me!!!", she wrote on Instagram, thanking the "Rocketman".
The day before the release of the single, the diva deletes the post and the personal account that goes with it.

"A new start "
It is on Twitter that Britney Spears then chooses to explain, always half-word, her gesture.
“I learn that every day marks a new beginning to try to be a better person and to do what makes you happy.
Yes, I choose happiness today, she declares.
Every day I try to forget the hurts and the bitterness and forgive myself and others.”
His eyes now seem to be on the future (and no longer on Instagram).
“I want to be fearless like when I was younger.
I hope that there really exists a Holy Spirit and that he also dwells in my children.
Yes... Today, I choose happiness and joy”, she concludes.
The enigmatic Britney Spears
A departure that has a taste of deja vu.
Not so long ago, last September, the pop star had already eclipsed Instagram, with as usual an enigmatic message.
Faced with the concern of her fans, Britney Spears wanted to be reassuring at the time: “Don't worry people.
I'm just taking a break from social media to celebrate my engagement.
I come back soon."
Will she come back this time?
Is this yet another break or a real break?
The future will tell.
