Yesterday evening (17 July) the Grammy-winning producer took to his socials to tease the forthcoming collaboration which is due for release later today.

will.i.am – the frontman of Black Eyed Peas – teased the 16-second clip which features Britney Spears saying, “Mind your business, bitch!”. The pair have previously collaborated in 2013’ on the track “Scream & Shout".

He has produced several of Spears' tracks, including "Big Fat Bass" and most of her album Britney Jean, which featured the hit song "Work Bitch". This forthcoming release marks her first taste of new music in almost a year, since her collaboration with Elton John on "Hold Me Closer". The track was her first brand new release since the 2016 album, Glory, barring a string of singles that were recorded around those sessions, yet released years later.

UH OH!!!

Britney Spears is also set to release her debut memoir, The Woman in Me, later this year. The book is said to be a “a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope", promising to reveal “for the first time her incredible journey (and) strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history".

The Woman in Me is set for release on 24 October, and is available to pre-order.
