Britney Spears, an American singer, returned to the music scene this week after a lengthy six-year absence.
After her 13-year conservatorship came to an end last year, she released a duet with Elton John. In the months leading up to its release, the Toxic and Womanizer hitmaker has been teasing Hold Me Closer, a club-dance remix of John’s 1971 single Tiny Dancer.
“This is my first song in six years, okie dokie. I think it’s pretty awesome that I get to sing with one of our generation’s most enduring figures “wrote the forty-year-old.
The new song was warmly received by Britney’s devoted fan base, and the Twitter hashtag #WelcomeBackBritney became popular. The track shot to the top of the US and UK iTunes charts shortly after its release.
Spears had earlier ended her 13-year quiet with an emotional confession in which she talked about being traumatized and outraged. Due to the fan-driven #FreeBritney motion, a 2021 documentary, and a collection of leaked court documents, the unusually protracted conservatorship has recently drawn attention.
