About a month ago, it was reported that a video for Elton John and Britney Spears’ collaboration “Hold Me Closer” was in the works. At the time, no timeline for when the video would arrive was given, but now we know: The clip premiered today.
Ahead of the song’s release, Spears offered some excited praise of John, writing on Instagram, “You can bet your bottom dollar that THIS collaboration will heighten my year by joining your brilliant hands of play. Thank you for your [generosity] and just thinking of me to join you on such a brilliant song !!! How cool is it to be a background voice ON YOUR song !!! Sir Elton I did it thanks to your genius, creative, and legendary mind !!! I am so grateful !!!”
John later said in an interview, “I’m so excited to be able to do it with her because if it is a big hit, and I think it may be, it will give her so much more confidence than she’s got already and she will realize that people actually love her and care for her and want her to be happy. That’s all anybody in their right mind would want after she went through such a traumatic time.”
