Kesha wrote the song. 

I know, that's why everyone thought it sounded like a Kesha song.

I still remember that interview Dr. Luke did where he said something along the lines of Britney being a good “vehicle” for him to release his music through, and that pretty much turned me off of the music he did for Britney. I can enjoy it for what it is, but a lot of it was clearly forced on her. 

Agreed. Even talking about her as a ‘vehicle’ is just so dehumanizing and gross, you can tell she just didn’t want to be on the video set either. It also to me doesn’t really feel like a Britney song (because it isn’t!)

 

It’s so refreshing with Home Me Closer knowing she decided to do it, there’s a power to that and you can hear it in her voice. It must be liberating for her to finally make decisions in her career, I wonder what she would’ve done musically without the conservatorship!

TTWE slaps in a very 2011 dated way, but it never felt like a Britney song to me. All of Britney's other big hits are so uniquely her, TTWE is so clearly a Dr. Luke Kesha cast-off.

This is heavily rumored, yes. Britney was doing a ton of promotion (for her standards anyway) in early/mid 2010 and a lot of us thought the album was gonna come in third quarter 2010. We knew she was working with producers like Darkchild and Scott Storch. Then the “shhh, it’s a secret” campaign started and we were sure of it, but after that there was a complete radio silence until late December when HIAM was announced. 
 

I actually really liked TTWE when it came out. Britney had never really done anything like it in her career. But it’s been overplayed to death and now I can barely stomach it. I still remember that interview Dr. Luke did where he said something along the lines of Britney being a good “vehicle” for him to release his music through, and that pretty much turned me off of the music he did for Britney. I can enjoy it for what it is, but a lot of it was clearly forced on her. 
 

I don’t think any of us are expecting HMC to smash. If it does, great, but most of us are just happy Britney is releasing new music in some capacity again. 

Femme Fatale was the last era she had radio hits. Literally every single was a hit in the FF era, and the tour visited most places. I hope this Hold Me Closer gives her a radio hit.

Ready for the messy threads in ATRL. But more ready to listen to this on Apple Music in Lossless!

Lol DMF and his friends are gonna enjoy the coming days. Let's just completely ignore the trolls, eventhough they're definitely going to successfuly bait some members.

The good sis hasn’t even updated her insta bio yet, it’s fun, quick single to get back into things for her. Nothing more. Let’s not get too excited and raise expectations.

I hope Elton's next remix is with Gaga for Bennie and The Jets :-* :gaygacat1:

 

Although Don't Go Breaking My Heart would be an easy one

Perez Hilton posted a longer snippet of the final version on his TikTok.
Or at least I think it's from the final version, because it sounds different from the leaked version. A lot more sounds/instruments in the chorus.

The final version sounds so MUCH better :jonny5::jonny5: omg I’m so excited! I’ve been bopping to Cold Heart lately just to stop me from listening to the leak. 
 

This will do well I feel it!

Oh yeah I don’t expect anything was just saying I remember that rumor :sistrens:

Okay but now the instruments are too loud and can barely hear their voices :rip:

I can’t lie I got emotional hearing the first rough leak. Imma wait for the final, but this is going to be good.

Okay so her voice sounds really great during specific sections of the song! Then there are  nasally / chipmunky parts where she doesn’t sound her best! Hope those are being reworked…but I doubt it!
