Britney Spears and Will.I.Am's single “Mind your business, b—-!”, which is set to arrive on Friday, July 21.
Will.I.Am shared Tuesday the news on Instagram, saying: “JULY 21st is the DAY…And today is the day we officially announce the release of #MINDYOURBUSINESS…I’m sooo honored and excited for this release…Thank you @britneyspears…you’re one of the most fearless, strongest, kindest, purest people I’ve met in my life…I always loved working with you and I always will…”
On Monday, the Grammy-winning producer announced the collaboration with a video teaser that was posted to his social media with the caption reading “Uh Oh!!!”. In the seconds-long clip, the artists’ taglines are heard: “You are now, now rockin’ with Will.i.am and Britney, b—-.”
Spears is heard singing what is presumably the song’s chorus over an up-tempo beat.
The duo has previously worked together on “Big Fat Bass,” a 2011 release that appeared on Spears’ “Femme Fatale” album, and “Scream & Shout,” the lead single from Will.I.Am’s “Willpower” record. The latter was released alongside a music video that gave Spears her first entry into YouTube’s Billion Views Club.
Will.i.am also executive-produced Spears’ 2013 album, “Britney Jean.”
This track will be Spears’ first release since she joined Elton John for “Hold Me Closer,” a re-imagined remix of his classic hit “Tiny Dancer.” The track earned Spears her first appearance on the Billboard charts after nearly a decade away.
News of the new single comes on the heels of Spears setting a date and revealing the title of her upcoming, much-buzzed-about memoir “The Woman in Me.”
Spears’ book is slated for release on Oct. 24 and will be published by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
The book is said to tell Spears’ story “on her own terms, at last,” according to the publisher’s announcement.
Spears had been living under a court-ordered conservatorship placed by her father, Jamie Spears, since 2007.
Though the singer continued to work, touring and holding a Las Vegas residency, the conservatorship remained in place.
Rumors spread among fans that the pop star was being held in the conservatorship against her will, spawning the “#FreeBritney” movement which ultimately led to her release.
