Britney Spears is set to make her highly anticipated musical return by collaborating with sir Elton John for a remake of his 1972 hit Tiny Dancer.
“This was Elton’s idea, and Britney is a huge fan,” an insider revealed to Page Six. “They have recorded a remix of ‘Tiny Dancer‘ as a full duet – and it is incredible.”
Six years after her last release of newly recorded music, the duo reportedly met up at a recording studio in Beverly Hills last week to record the new version of the song, slated to be released next month under Universal Music.
“They’ve already played it for people at their record label, and everybody is freaking out. It is so good,” the insider adds.
According to The News, It was also revealed that the super-secret recording session was overseen by Andrew Watt, the producer of the remix. Watt, whose studio is nestled in the basement of his home, has previously worked with Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Ozzy Osbourne, as well as Pearl Jam. He also won the ‘Producer of the Year’ award at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
She has been hinting at wanting to get back into making music since Britney’s nearly 14-year conservatorship was terminated in November 2021.
On 15 July, the pop superstar serenaded her fans with an Instagram video of her singing a slightly edgier rendition of her iconic 1998 hit “…Baby One More Time” while doing the laundry, with the caption “I haven’t shared my voice in an extremely long time…maybe too long.”

She added that she had wanted to share this rendition for quite some time but could not due to the conservatorship, but now that it’s over…
“Britney is officially back. She’s back to work, and she’s super excited.”
