Two musical legends are getting into the studio together. 

Rumors were doing the rounds that Elton John and Britney Spears were collaborating on a song and it has now been confirmed as true. Initial reports claimed that the pair had been secretly recording a version of Elton’s track from 1972, “Tiny Dancer”.

“Britney was in the studio in Beverly Hills last week with Elton for the super-secret recording session overseen by uber-producer Andrew Watt,” stated a source.

The story was corroborated by Spears’ friend, Paris Hilton, who was quoted as saying, “It’s gonna be iconic. I just heard it a few days ago in Ibiza and it is… it’s insane.”

John recently collaborated with Dua Lipa on “Cold Heart” which featured snippets of the “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” singer’s singles “Rocket Man”, “Sacrifice”, ”Kiss the Bride”, and “Where’s the Shoorah?” It became John’s first UK number-one single in 16 years.

It appears as though Britney and Elton’s track will follow suit. The song has been titled “Hold Me Closer” which is a line in “Tiny Dancer”. It will mark Spears’ return to music since 2016 when she dropped her ninth studio album, Glory. 

“Hold Me Closer” does not have a release date as yet.
