Just listened to the final version. Too bad they took Britney's vocals to the background and took away her moment to shine in the song with all the ad libs and solo moments. Now she's indeed just a background singer, like she said herself on Instagram. Not that it's bad, it's cute, but i really wanted her to shine more on this song, like the demo let her.

Maybe she was really being doubled edged with her words

She updated her twitter bio and header!

I think I'll keep the demo version

I'm sure a fan will knock together a mashup of both, for now though keep streaming and buying the official

WHYY?!! WTF I don't like the "final" version. That demo polished up would have been fine! They stripped Britney from it. I think that comment about background singer may have been posted purposely and she's upset, as she should be. Disappointed!

[Lament]

I still don't understand why they had to change her voice so much. Her natural voice is so pretty and would sound so good on this. wtf

[chris1991]

There is always some drama with her releases  I can’t 

[easy HME]

Yeah she is definitely background singer on official version lol

Aside of some adlibs it still feels like she's the main one actually..

[Harrier]

I did not expect the enitre song to be them singing together I don't like the autotune on her voice in the chorus it seems unnecessary

However it is nice to hear her sing and the song overall is nice

[Asparagus Spears]

I didn’t listen to the leak when it came out and it’s just been released in Australia and I’ve gotta say, this is really pretty. She sounds clear and precise. Her vocals have gotten better. It’s chill but also upbeat. Cant wait to see what she has for us all. We will be streaming! Would love for her to get another #1 she truly deserves

Could be, maybe she was pisse* they took off her solo/ad libs and posted that 

[brazil]

Anyways, where are you guys listening to the official version? 

[XoutrageousX]

Omg she really was not lying with that background vocals comment

 

The final version is even worse than the demo since it has Elton all over

 

This derves to flop

[nathanspears]

Absolutely not the best source I know but something else could be coming in two weeks (still related to the song)

I love the final song.

Kinda wish Britney was solo a little more but her voice is so iconic you can hear it perfectly 

 

[sam.teas]

i like the final version. very good song 

[Slayn]

She's still very prominent on the song, Elton sounds HORRIBLE tho

Really wish I never heard the leak bc the final version isn't as great, but love the song anyways 

[nathanspears]

Can anyone in NZ or AU see if it's mastered in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music?
