Hold Me Closer – Spears And John Released Their Collaboration
On Friday, Spears, and John released their collaboration ‘Hold Me Closer,’ which was an instant hit as it reached No. 1 on iTunes in the U.S. and dozens of other countries, Spears said.

She reacted to the song’s success with an impromptu video on Twitter, addressing John in her best British accent. Spears seemingly gave fans a glimpse of her morning routine with her reaction, posting a video to Twitter from the bathtub

John responded to Spears’ video: Hey Britney!! Thank you for this message. You’ve made my day!! Hope everyone has the best day dancing to our song! #HoldMeCloser.
He also reacted to the song’s popularity, tweeting alongside a song clip. I’m thrilled with the response to #HoldMeCloser I wanted to do a fun, happy summer track, so I was ecstatic when @britneyspears agreed to be a part of it! She is an icon, one of the all-time great pop stars & I love her dearly. I hope you all love it! John wrote.

John Reveals How Helped Spears Make Her Return

The beloved duet marks Spears’ first release since her 13-year conservatorship ended in November. ‘Hold Me Closer’ combines the chorus of John’s 1972 smash ‘Tiny Dancer’ and verses of his 1992 hit single The One with a new, dance-pop production

In an interview, John opened up about how he helped Spears make her highly-anticipated return.

He said that when producer Andrew Watt initially finished the song’s remix, they were unsure about who could join him on the track. That’s when John’s husband, David Furnish, suggested Spears serve as a feature. He said it would be wonderful for Britney Spears to do it, John told the outlet. He said that’s a pretty amazing idea. She hadn’t done anything for so long. I’d been following what’s been happening to her for a long time.

Spears Honeymoon With Sam Asghari
Spears agreed to join the track, but she couldn’t go to London to record it because she was on her honeymoon with her new husband, Sam Asghari. So instead, the ‘Toxic’ singer recorded at Watt’s studio in Los Angeles, finishing the vocals in less than two hours.

She sang fantastically, John said. Everyone was saying they didn’t think she could sing anymore. But I said she was brilliant when she started, so I think she can. And she did it, and I was thrilled with what she did.
He added: We had to get her to approve what she did. She’s been away so long, and there’s a lot of fear there because she’s been betrayed so many times and hasn’t been in the public eye officially for so long. We’ve been holding her hand throughout the process, reassuring her that everything will be alright.
