‘Hold Me Closer’ Lyrics By Elton John And Britney Spears

Britney Spears returned to music as a free woman with “Hold Me Closer,” a dance-tinged collaboration with Elton John.

“Hold Me Closer,” a new take on John’s 1972 classic “Tiny Dancer” produced by Grammy winner Andrew Watt, features John and Spears singing the opening verse of John’s 1992 hit “The One” over a club-ready beat before diving into the chorus of “Tiny Dancer.”

“Hold Me Closer” is Spears’ first new song since her 2016 studio album Glory, which included deluxe tracks “Mood Ring,” “Swimming in the Stars,” and the Backstreet Boys-assisted “Matches,” all of which were released in 2020.

I saw you dancin’ out the ocean
Runnin’ fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands (oh)

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today (oh)

Hold me closer
Hold me closer (hold me closer)
Hold me closer
Hold me closer

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels, baby (yeah)
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel (oh, yeah)

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
Hold me closer (baby, baby)
Hold me closer
Hold me closer (oh, yeah)

(Hold me closer)
(Hold me closer)
Hold me closer
(Hold me closer) me closer, me closer
(Hold me closer) mm, yeah
