Elton John & Britney Spears - "Hold Me Closer"

Production wise it was terrible, but would add this into my hit repeat for the rest of the year I fear. 
 

I believe Britney comebacks will be a banger like Bey did.

Probably the worst song I’ve heard in years.

Not the song ALREADY haunting Fighters and making their lives miserable.
 

We have an undeniable hit on our hands, ladies :clap3:

This is extremely underwhelming. Britney is barely even on it. She should have had at least 1 verse to herself...

English is not my first language. But is worser even a word ?

I believe last time it was used as part if English was during Shakespeare Era :skull:

God y'all are so annoying. 

Britney is literally there for the whole time harmonising and doing adl-libs. Have you heard Cold Heart where Dua is only singing the chorus?

I was surprised to hear the leak cause there was SO MUCH of Britney that I thought it was weird, I think it sounds more balanced now, the only thing I'm missing is the "baby" in the first verse.

 

I swear you live in a conspiracy theory

And the trolling begins. 

 

Everytime I hear this,  it sounds more & more fresh.  :clap3:

The song is fine, although nothing to write home about… kinda Sigala-esque, a generic feel-good bop. I’m massively underwhelmed by the lack of Britney, though :noparty: Whose decision was it to bury her vocals under Elton’s and several other layers of production? I would’ve expected some solo parts.

It's a meme.

It’s not a real word but we’ve know fighters are not the most intelligent people around here.

 

I feel this new version definitely sounds better, the demo was quite unpolished (hence a demo) and I think I could’ve used some more Britney ad libs but the song is enjoyable. Definitely a grower that’s for sure!

This is great, it includes the streams that will go as partial and won't be included for the first day but it is also only a few hours of tracking for the US. Partial streams are minimal anyways.

the demo is much better where Britney's vocal is more prominent :rip: she's not wrong for saying being a background vocal :rip: still a bop tho

So it's possible she will chart in the Hot 100? Maybe Top 10 in the US and UK? :jonny5:

The people saying it lacks Britney just took what someone said and is running with it? She's literally in the entire song and is more prominent than Elton.

 

Stream for clear skin :gaycatina1:
