The new TikTok clip isn’t the only collaboration Elton has been working on lately as the singer has reportedly been working in the studio with Britney Spears.
According to Page Six, Britney has recorded a new duet version of Elton’s immortal tune Tiny Dancer.
Britney joined up with the English singer in Beverly Hills last month to record the track, which first appeared on his 1971 album Madman Across The Water.

Fans won’t have to wait long to hear Britney on record again, as sources told the publication that the new version of Tiny Dancer is expected to be released in August by Universal music.
Elton appears to be the one who came up with the idea of the collaboration, but it seems to be an ideal soft launch for Britney to reinvigorate her musical career after staying silent in the final years of her now-defunct conservatorship.
‘This was Elton’s idea, and Britney is a huge fan. They have recorded a remix of Tiny Dancer as a full duet — and it is incredible,’ a music industry insider told the outlet.

‘They’ve already played it for people at their record label, and everybody is freaking out. It is so good,’ they gushed. ‘They are saying this is going to be the song of the summer.
