Britney Spears' comeback song 'Hold Me Closer' with Elton John rockets to No. 1

Britney Spears released her first new song in six years, "Hold Me Closer," on Friday. The track is a duet with Elton John and has already reached number one on numerous chats across the globe.

Will Mendelson is an entertainment editor for Fox News Digital. 

"Hold Me Closer" combines elements of John's "Tiny Dancer" and "The One," featuring a dance beat that is accompanied by vocals from John and Spears. It is also notably the first release from the pop princess since the end of her 13-year conservatorship, as well as her first new music since dropping her last album, "Glory," in 2016.

Two days prior to its release, Spears took to Twitter to share her excitement over the song's upcoming release.
