On September 30, 2013, Miley Cyrus' fourth studio album Bangerz was made available for streaming on the iTunes store and iTunes Radio. The album included her singles We Can't Stop and Wrecking Ball, which had been released earlier that year.

Track 3, SMS (Bangerz) featured Britney Spears. It was written and produced by Mike Will Made It and Marz, with additional songwriting provided by Cyrus and Sean Garrett. The track incorporates Euro house, electropop and hip hop genres.

 

The song peaked at #10 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. Although Miley claimed that she wanted it to be the third single off the album, thank God Adore You was ultimately the chosen one and SMS was never officially a single.

Why they chose to collaborate on SMS

There were far better options on the album...

Someone Else is one of my favs till this day

[Stefani]

Britney's verse is the only part of the song that I like. On a related note, I can't believe this song flopped considering that it was a Miley song in 2013 featuring the Princess of Pop. And I know it wasn't a single, but still; even Drive managed to make it into the Hot 100 despite no promo.

Britney's verse changed the game period

Wait there’s a song with that title? Have I heard the entire album? 

[warioaddams]

I wonder why It wasn't picked as a single. Both had the same managers at the time. It would have been very controversial.

in my mind I want to believe that Britney was like  to the idea of filming a video with Miley. She was just polite enough to record the song due to having the same manager lol 

besides, they were too busy promoting Vegas. As we saw in I am Britney Jean, they were so desperate to finish the Work ***** video, so if they barely cared about Britney's own album singles, I doubt they wanted to add another artist's single to the schedule.

True! Also, Myah Marie's the credited background vocalist (makes it more complete).
