Britney Spears' new single "Swimming in the Stars" SNIPPET OUT NOW!: the rumored details

[Slayer]

This song has been confirmed by Urban Outfitters. The Vinyl is due to be shipped in January 2021.

What are your thoughts on this coming out?

There are a few rumours about the song (please take these with a pinch of salt)

The duration of the song is believed to be 3.41

It has an EDM sound

That Matthew Koma may have wrote the song...

Not sure if it means anything, but based on publishing numbers, there's a track written by Matthew Koma titled "Swimming in the Stars" with Dan Brook & Alexei Misoul from around the same time the Glory album was registered.

Rumoured lyrics:

So let's go
Swimming in the stars tonight

[KrisJ]

The cover is perfect - looking forward to hearing new Britney music and I hope we don’t have to wait until January to hear this.

Ugh this is from the “make me” cover shoot  look at the desert & the chains. This shoot was going to be amazing 

[DollyParton]

What is happening what is going on??

[jordeezy river red]

Just imagine what could have been!!! Glory should have been Oops era 2.0

[IonutM]

Damn, that’s a weird timing to release something. Curious about the sound tho

The cover art is immaculate

[Lemon]

My only wish question is: has Britney agreed to release this song?

[BUWYGF]

I literally adore that art cover i must admit

The artwork is amazing! Like album cover worthy! I love the title too, I’m getting the vibe it’ll be a pulsating romantic mid-tempo! So here for new music and yes I will always support her music.....she’s probably contractually obligated to release something since it’s been so long and that’s why we are getting this.

You idiots do know that they're releasing this for money rite? You think Britney willingly wanted to release an unheard single? Britney is refusing to work, what's the quickest to make a few bucks? Release scrapped singles, when it leaks you can download it for free and you won't be contributing to Jaime's gravy train. 

[lilhennythings]

Wtf what is this a new b side from Glory??? I never heard of it

[warioaddams]

OMG I feel excited even though I shouldn't be because all that is happening right now. The thing is I always feel kind of butterflies when Britney releases something. I really don't know how to feel. 

[Urbanney]

Very suspicious timing. There is a pattern of Britney stuff leaking or being released around important dates involving the conservatorship.

This just seems like another attempt by her team to milk what they can out of what Britney's already done and to distract fans from the conservatorship battle. Looking forward to hearing it though, if we get the chance.

[Slayer]

All of this makes me feel icky - especially after yesterday.

I hope Britney gave permission for this, I guess we'll only find out if we specifically hear her talk about it in a video.

This! She still has a contract with RCA and they gave her money in advance when she renewed her contract (that's how labels work) so I'm sure RCA wants some of that investment back.

 

Now that she's refusing to work, I believe is the way the label found to make money without pushing her to record against her will, at least for the moment

RCA is doing this because she’s probably contractually obligated to release something because it’s been so long! Anyways Britney and therefore Jaime will make hardly any money from this....artists make very little money from music unless they wrote the song and it becomes a mega hit! 

[SkyNet]

I'd love to hear new music from Britney, but if she isn't working right now, I'm not supporting release.

 

[Easy There]

I am so conflicted on this. 

Whilst I knownthisnis her label trying to push anything by her and has every right to do so. I am conflicted ngl. If James was outta pic yesterday I would say go ahead and support it.

But whilst he is in charge. We should all boycott everything Britney brand related.

 

One of her best cover arts
