I can’t just leave 13 years of an abusive cship behind that my own family was apart of idk.

this, and I think there's also a reason why Brit constantly deletes the posts after she does them. It's probably very cathartic for her to write these captions/posts out and then send them off to the world, and then she may even delete them purely because she wanted to get it out, she did, and then no need for it to live out there further.

Well, take it with a grain of salt but this guy says he's heard it already, says it's "vibey" and upbeat(ish), in the same vein as Cold Heart

Holy eyebrows, Batman!

TINY DANCER?! Incredible choice. She is so... timeless.

This is hardly going to be her comeback single though, lol. More like an appetizer, if that. I don't think she even wants a comeback and I'm honestly surprised we're getting something this soon, but personally I'm fine with her being a feature queen or just dropping random s**t out of nowhere for the rest of eternity.

However I will ask that she get Mariah to remix the Costco Christmas classic "My Only Wish (This Year)." Or any collab, really. I know Mariah isn't going to do some pop s**t and I've been dying for R&Britney since the "Baby Boy" demo leaked.

I love Britney deep voice on IG. She is showing she can out sing the Selena Gomez and Ciara's of the world.

you didn't have to do this...

Too beloved legends with fanbases that are loyal and havent dispersed or aged out and loved by all communities l and have classic songs that has stood the test of time doing a collaboration would be like dropping a nuclear bomb. This new girls ain't ready.

Well this is unexpected and exciting news. I wonder what kind of release timing we’re looking at.

I would love it if Brit could put all the drama of the last 13 years behind her live a happy, healthy life without all the insta drama. She seems stuck, but I didn't live it so I'm not going to pretend to understand. It's just frustrating as a fan to watch.

I mean yeah, we all would, but if you’re expecting her to just get over 13 years of trauma in a few months, with or without treatment, then I’m not sure what to tell you other than to unfollow her. It’s going to be a while before the dust settles.

^ I only wish she was in a better place, for her, not for me as a fan. She deserves happiness, and it's clear she's in turmoil. Justice=peace.

That’s Andy Signore. He was one of the original creators of Screen Junkies, the pop culture YouTube channel that created Honest Trailers.

He’s definitely reliable.

Yeah I figured he wouldn't go to this length just to be possibly proven very wrong when the song comes out soon. That's good to hear, b/c he made me 100x more excited lol.

For once as a fan it's almost as if the fanfic news that we're getting is actually true

I mean, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bad thing, though? I don't know if posting it all on IG is the healthiest option, but not for me to judge how she goes through it. At the same time, I wouldn't call it a "bad place." Maybe she personally finds this way of doing things very therapeutic and helpful, who knows.

RE: "Tiny Dancer," I would expect news within the next month or so.

[frenchuser]

A 75 year old man and a 40 year old female popstar duet is not the most likely formula to have a good airplay. And especially when we know how the CHR/POP format did not particularly support Britney Spears during the Glory era. Apart from the curiosity effect, it will take a good placement in playlist and at all costs bet on Tik Tok.

I know Dua Lipa is not a "40 year old popstar", but seems you really left that context completely out there.

The airplay success of 'Cold Heart' surprised everyone. And the radio stations jumped on it after the growing popularity of the single on TikTok.

The next featuring of Elton didn't had the same path...

I hope that 'Tiny Dancer' will have a strong viral potential on social media

[schnetzka]

People are anticipating new music from Britney so I hope that it'll give it a push at least become semi-successful.

[Koochie]

Y’all this isn’t a comeback single lmao, she’s not getting a hit with this. It’s a high profile collab, strictly for marketing purposes and/or fun.

[Mike]

^Exactly. This is a teaser to get her reintroduced to the public. "Cold Heart" was never a hit on paper despite Dua's popularity and look what happened. We've been seeing out-of-the-box songs released in the last year (CH + RUTH) and there's no reason to expect this could be anything different.

[upsidedown]

I'm more interested to see how it does on streaming in particular. Even with random one-off songs like Swimming in the Stars and Matches, she had good Spotify debuts with those given the curiosity factor.

I don't even think this is true, I think Britney loves Elton and said yes because she wanted to do it -- nothing more, nothing less.

Both statements are true imo. She needs to start working at some point, especially if the conservatorship took as much money away from her as speculated. Reintroducing herself to the music world with a collab with someone she likes is an added bonus.

[Push The Button]

We have been talking about a Britney comeback since 2007. That’s 16 years. I think that says a lot about how much people love and root for her.

[Koochie]

I think as far as pop stars go Britney is in a class of her own. Outside of 2007, which has largely been retroactively and rightfully understood to be something other than what Perez Hilton and TMZ made it out to be, she's always been so effortlessly sought after. I like to think it's because she was one of the first big names to subvert the superstar trope by being unapologetically human and humble. Compare that to people like Beyoncé or Gaga who heavily curate their image and career for the cameras. That's not to say Britney never did, but if you take out the K-Fed years I don't think she ever cared about them. She was just going along with it. Name one celeb that's not Britney Spears who can get Donatella Versace to design their wedding dress but still shops at brick and mortar Old Navy on a regular basis.

It doesn't hurt that pretty much everything from her debut through Blackout still holds up musically, and as disposable as her c-ship discog is she's still got more than a few good songs among them.

Honestly she could probably do a tour where she just gives Ted Talks to people on a wooden chair, nothing else, and she'd still pack stadiums. She's just so interesting.

She still hasn’t had a comeback since 2007? Wrong.

Elton Johnnny


After she is done with the safe, big name legendary collab to reintroduce herself to the public musically again

I want her to then get with the fun girls like herself. A Dual Lips or Meghan THEE Horse, Cardinal B, Big BBLATTO etc. Gimme a dance, stripper anthem

The point is people don't talk about Britney's contemporaries in the same way they do Britney. Christina's releasing another album? Don't care + didn't ask is usually what you're getting from anyone who isn't already a dedicated fan. Same with Gwen, Justin, and etc. The only artist from her time that can command the same attention is Beyoncé, and people still talk about and refer to new Beyoncé albums as comebacks.

People will always want Britney to be successful even when she's not.

I’m not the biggest Beyoncé fan, but to me when did she need to have a come back?

Any time an artist is absent from the public and doesn’t release material for an extended period of time, you can basically call it a comeback. The term is relative.

[upsidedown]

Britney has always had an undeniable charm and mystique about her that keeps people interested. She has that X-Factor, that spark, but like Koochie said, I think it also has a lot to do with how *human* she is, and how humble she has been across her entire career. People care about her, in a way that they don't care about most other artists from her generation. People will always want to see her succeed, and will always be interested in what she's up to.
