In August 2022, Britney Spears released “Hold Me Closer” with Sir Elton John. The song is not only Britney’s first in six years but also the first released after her 13-year conservatory, which ends in November 2021. The hit single also became her first Top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 11 years after its release, as reported by People magazine.
“It’s been a long time since I thought of recording. I changed my mind about that when I was invited to record a song with an artist I have admired all my life: Sir Elton John. He’s one of my favorite entertainers of all time,” Britney wrote in her memoir. “I met him at an Oscar party about a decade ago and we got on really well. And now here he is calling with the sweetest video message, asking if I’m interested in working together. I am very honored.”
“Like me, Elton John has been through so much, publicly. It gave him incredible compassion,” he continued. “To make the collaboration even more meaningful: as a child, I listened to ‘Tiny Dancer’ in the car in Louisiana as I rode to and from my dance and gymnastics classes. … Recording ‘Hold Me Closer’ and showing it to the world was a great experience. It doesn’t feel good. It feels great.”

“He’s been gone for so long – there’s a lot of fear there because he’s been betrayed so many times and he hasn’t really been in the public eye for so long. We have held his hand throughout the process, reassuring him that everything will be fine,” he added.
