It's different but not that different. It just sounds like there's some more backing vocals and the "woohoo" and other adlibs are mixed a little bit lower.

oh the leak i had is way better quality, this sounds bad.

i guess some ppl had a really bad copy.

It's a 10 second comparison clip thrown together for Exhale... the actual file is high quality

This is different to the leak. In the leak, Britney sings this part alone without Elton. In this, both of them are singing it. Production sounds better too

[fays1]

So its the same? then why wait till next week after the leak? are they just waiting for a lyric or animated video to be done? im confused about this release 

[Yasux34]

Im kinda bummed if she doesnt have a solo line....she sounds amazing

[FableJ]

guys! it's clearly a slightly different vocal mix, listened to both snippets back to back at 00:47. In the leak brits voice is solo and very clear, in the Elton clip there is backing vocals and Elton as well. Sounds more finished to me, smoother. In the leak jumping from a "dreamy" 1st verse to Britney solo sounded harsh and out of nowhere. love the song tho!

I promise you this is the exact version I have. I guess there’s an earlier one making the rounds because this sounds identical.

[Deanlondon]

Wow. So much better than the leak.

How are people hearing this the same?! 👽

The mix is so different, for the people struggling to hear a difference, I'll break it down for you:

1. Elton is singing with Britney here whereas on the leak he wasn't.

2. The vocals are more central in the mix and have been polished.

3. The guitar is louder and you can hear the syncopation more which creates more of a "building" feel.

It's worlds apart from the leaked track and sounds amazing!

Where did you find your version then? Because every single download I've found is still different to the TikTok one. 

[Lmfc1993]

Well. It's the same snippet that leak first. At least Is on tik tok.

Jeesus i forgot how annoying and ungrateful Britney fans are. ******* hell just stfu and enjoy the music.

 

Acting like you're all producers and mixers. So damn annoying. If you don't like it just suffer in silence. I was really enjoying the song so much, now im listening just to check in quality even though the leaked was obviously bad quality. 

 

Bunch of *****es. Dont stream if you think it's bad. So damn annoying it is unbearable now since you're all old AF now. Grow up.

Lunatics? I work with seriously mentally ill people 5 days a week. Reading the comments is more overwhelming and confusing than that and im not joking. It's seriously concerning how they analyse every detail to absolute shreds. Almost like they hate the woman...not love her. 

 

That mix we had earlier was of terrible quality. This one is THE OFFICIAL which is clear. Meaning from the producers/record label themselves. How hard is that to understand?
