When Britney Spears and Elton Johns’ collaboration “Hold Me Closer” became number one on iTunes just hours after its release on Friday, the 40-year-old pop princess tweeted a cheeky video to the “Tiny Dancer” singer, saying that she was going to have the “best day” and hoped she was “okay”. “Hey Sir Elton John, we’re like number 1 in 40 countries,” a fresh-faced Spears said to the camera in a fake British accent. “Holy s—! I’m in the tub right now and I’m about to go have the best day ever and I hope you’re okay.” The post came after Spears deleted her Instagram account again. The “Baby One More Time” singer had posted a short clip of “Hold Me Closer” on the platform ahead of its official release on Friday along with a caption thanking John for his “generosity” during their time together, according to Billboard. “Maybe we should have tea time!!!” the singer joked to John. “Oh and let’s invite Queen Elizabeth too!!! I bet she’s a wonderful behavior study!!! So shall we settle? Since most people say it’s an honor to KNOW ME SO WELL and want nothing but happiness for me … you can Put bet THIS collab will elevate my year by joining your lovely hands.

Sir Elton, I did it because of your genius, creative and legendary mind!!! I’m so grateful!!! I just keep on giving don’t I?

I can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on!” It was not clear why she deleted her Instagram. Before this week, she had mostly posted on Instagram and had not been active on Twitter since January.

Hope everyone has the best day dancing to our song! #HoldMeCloser.” The song is Spears’ first since her conservative term ended last year — at one point she said she wouldn’t appear on stage until it was over, and claimed under its terms she wasn’t allowed to remix her songs or perform new music — and her first in six years since her 2016 album Glory. Spears expressed her thoughts on her musical comeback in a pinned tweet Wednesday before the release of “Hold Me Closer.” “Hold Me Closer” shot to number one on iTunes within hours of its release on Friday.
