[ItsAlaskabitch]

The final will be more together sounding I believe. This is likely a rougher cut.

Definitely a radio-friendly song.

Does it have the edge of Cold Heart ? Nope. Will it have the same longevity ? Not sure either.

It's still a very uplifting track that the GP might definitely like. I just hope there will be a bit of promo. And that there will be club remixes as well.

I did a video reaction as soon as the link made it somehow at my Dm's 

This song is a grower, I'm glad Elthon let Britney to take the lead the way now Cause he wanted her to take the wheel, He's never been a passenger though, He never knew how good it would feel  

 

Britney you shine!

 

EDIT: I won't upload the video until the song is released officially

I think its not the typical Britney-Smash. For me, its more like a grower and so i think it could have longevity.

Normally her frist singles peak high but stay short. This could turn out to be a game changer for her.

How anyone figured the lyrics? There are a few lines i cant figure. Seems like the only thing they kept from the original is the chorus. 

Hold me closer 

Hold me closer 

Oh baby 

Hold me closer 

Hold me closer 

 

I saw you dancing out the ocean

 Running fast along the sand

 A spirit born of earth and water 

 Baby 

Fire flying from your hands 

 

Hold me closer, tiny dancer 

Count the headlights on the highway 

Lay me down in sheets of linen 

You had a busy day today 

 

Hold me closer… 

 

There are caravans we follow 

Drunken nights in dark hotels 

Baby 

When chances breathe between the silence 

Where s** and love no longer gel 

 

Hold me closer, tiny dancer 

Count the headlights on the highway

 Baby

 Lay me down in sheets of linen 

You had a busy day today 

 

Hold me closer

Not here for the negativity. From what I've heard, I'm super impressed. And once again Brit shows: HER VOICE IS UNIQUE. There's no one who can sing "BABY" like Brit. I love that voice, it's this voice that made us fans. So let's stick together and promote that song next week like our lives depend on it !!!!!!!!! Someone better think of a TikTok (Boom) Challenge!!! Already thinking about a move for the chorus ...... PEACE 

[Intoxicatedbritney]

So how do we think this song will do when released? I still think top 40 in the USA and hopefully top 20 uk

The Lyrics are actually Elton John's "THE ONE" (LOVE IT!) and Tiny Dancer obvs

I like it. But the vocals sound odd in parts - I like that I can’t hear auto tune, but wish Britney had been a little less forceful in her singing. I get she is trying to prove herself but understated, nuanced singing has its appeal as well. Also, the voice reverberations they added in parts doesn’t sound great. 

The above was written when listening with AirPods.

I finally played the song loud on my Sonos surround sound system and the song sounds great and the imperfections are less obvious - it’s such a catchy, danceable melody and I can see it performing really well on the charts

That’s really cool - I was wondering where the lyrics were from 

[Dreamer26]

This song has a potential to be hit. Her vocals very Britney. I hope they shot a official video for it. Probably Britney won't bother to do that and I don't want animated video but some official video with actors may work. So many singers has that kinda successful videos without their appearance. For example Beyonce Running'(lose it all). TikTok is necessary for song popularity these days. Like it seems the only way to reach Gen Z. I hope some people will come up with creative videos there to make this song popular.

Hello  won't you hold me closer? 

[agustinmalandra]

I have an idea (cuz Geminis ALWAYS have ideas) 

 

TIKTOK is the main platform/social media to spread the tea... so...!

 

Maybe this song is for the next kind of videos: landscapes, loved ones (couples, throuples, friends, trips, hugs with you pets)

so why don't we all go and do these kind of videos as soon as the song is released officially? 

 

smth like this:

 

Imagine all those with HMC background music

Can someone please dm me the link?

[jns]

Someone, somewhere this past week said this sounds like Trip To Your Heart… and now I can’t stop comparing them and agreeing. In the best way. So catchy.

[Rex]

Love the retro vibes from it. Chill yes.

The vocal mixing however seems very questionable.
