As the talented duo prepare for 'Tiny Dancer' 2.0's release, music bosses behind the scenes are getting excited, with the insider revealing: “They’ve already played it for people at their record label, and everybody is freaking out. It is so good."

In November, Spears' 14-year-long conservatorship was officially ended following a long court battle, meaning that she is now completely in control of her personal life, finances and career. The star has been hinting on Instagram for some time that she's ready to release material again!
The news of Elton enlisting the vocals of pop princess Britney follows a slew of other collaboration projects, he notably joined forces with Ed Sheeran for the festive tune 'Merry Christmas' as well as with Years & Years on 'It's A Sin'.
Not to mention, his Official Big Top 40 mainstay 'Cold Heart (Pnau remix)' with Dua Lipa, a certified 2021 bop that mashed-up Elton's tracks 'Rocket Man', 'Sacrifice', 'Kiss the Bride' and 'Where's the Shoorah?' from the 70s and 80s.
The music legend released his 'Lockdown Sessions' album last year, which saw him work with everyone from Lil Nas X to Miley Cyrus to Stevie Nicks.
