After being leaked online earlier in August, the collaboration between Spears and Elton John officially dropped on Friday.

It’s the first new music from Spears since she was freed from her conservatorship in November 2021, and her first new music release in six years.

It’s an overhaul of Tiny Dancer, one of Sir Elton’s most memorable tunes, with Spears and John sharing soft duets on the verses and chorus. so soft that some are questioning if Spears is singing at all, but those people need to leave her alone.
