Selen, I would pull that song before Britney returns to instagram. For your own good. 

 

[Derrick]

I mean it sounds polished and it’s an easy listen. Wish we had a chorus of just Britney but I still enjoy it. 

[Princessmimi]

OMG l just heard the song and wow its great!

However I wish Britney had at least one solo part in the verses,

Elton did.

I know its his song so he can sing however much he wants but it would've been nice to hear more Britney.

 

But other than that,

I love it!

Except it’s not a comeback song. How many times do we have to go over this, its Elton’s song. 

You can clearly hear her voice it’s just meshed with his. Its gonna do well on the charts. 

I swear people are never satisfied with anything these days. 😩 Be happy she even released anything at all after what she’s been through. 

Not sure if Gen Z would stream an artist from their parents (Brit) and grandparents (Elton) generation.

 

[iLOVEtoFLY iLOVEtoFLY]

So yeh, now after listening a few times I definitely feel she could have had a verse on her own.

However you can definitely tell it's her especially because of the adlibs.

I understand why she thanked him for letting her do backup haha

[Tetris]

WOOOOOOW. THANK GOD FOR THE DEMO. THEY REMOVED HER FROM THE WHOLE FÛCKING SONG.

I am aghast and livid.

Will never willingly listen to the official version again. 

[toysoldier88]

The differences with the demo are bare minimum, you guys are reaching..... In the demo there Is Just One time she sings 3 words alone, Elton Is Always there. Mkreover in the first part of the song she's still predominant so i don't see the issue....

Christ, what a load of dramatic bull****. They removed one adlib in the first verse. That's it. 

And people say Britney has issues... some of y'all need far more therapy. 

[HRBrit]

I like it

Seriously? 
It’s so different. 
But thanks for taking the time to scold me. 

[Fab britney]

I’m sorry I’m feeling a little bothered and taken advantage of by Elton’s team. Britney deserved the same solo verses Dua got. I find myself begging Elton to be quiet the entire song 

[HisNameisChase]

I'm very disappointed with the final part. She doesn't get much solo time and it is just background singer rather than a feature. It's kind of sad this is the final version.

[HisNameisChase]

I'm listening to it again and I am ripe with disappointment.

SHE DESERVED HER OWN SOLO

I feel like something happened and that is why it got delayed after a leak.

I'm calling the police

I lowkey agree

We still don't know if Britney asked for it to be retweaked but... ugh

Yes, seriously.

You said they removed her from the entire song. Only one adlib was removed from the first verse. Other than that, Britney's vocals are exactly the same.  

The only other changes to the song are that Elton's got some additional backing vocals.

Saying you are "aghast and livid" and "will never willingly listen to the official version" is melodramatic and pure cringe. It also shows zero respect for Britney or her decisions (the producer said the mix was her choice), especially after everything she has been through. By sabotaging the official release, you are sabotaging her success as a free woman. Selfish, but not surprising from this fanbase. 

You're lucky Britney has given you anything at all.

stop being so dramatic

It was her choice.. she was in control in the studio..

Andrew Watt, producer of #HoldMeCloser , revealed that Britney Spears took FULL CONTROL in the studio - Page 3 - Britney Spears - BreatheHeavy | Exhale
