“UH OH!!!” he wrote in the caption, tagging Spears. White text flashed over a black background alongside the audio, “You are now NOW rocking with will.i.am and Britney Bitch.”
The visual began with a snippet from their track “Scream & Shout," from Will.i.am’s 2013 album#willpowerand markedthe pair’s second collaborationafter 2011’s"Big Fat Bass"under Spears' albumFemme Fatale. The song then cut to a different upbeat techno beat where Spears is heard saying, “Mind your business, bitch.” As the video came to an end, the text “will.i.am x BRITNEY TOMORROW” appeared on the screen.
He also shared the same video onInstagram, with the caption, “Uh oh!!! This summer is about to be hot!!!”
Spears last teamed up withElton Johnon 2022’s “Hold Me Closer.” The song combined the chorus of John’s 1972 smash “Tiny Dancer” and verses of his 1992 hit single “The One” with fresh, dance-pop production.
“She came up with her own ideas. She wanted to speed up the record a little bit, and we did that,” shared “Hold Me Closer” producer Andrew Watt in an interview withRolling Stone. “She knew exactly what she wanted to do. She had spent tons of time with the record; she knew all the lyrics; it was like, herthing.”
