Britney Spears & Will.i.am Drop ‘Mind Your Business’ Collaboration: Stream It Now
Written by djfrosty on July 20, 2023
Move over, “Scream & Shout.” There’s a new Britney Spears, Will.i.am collaboration in the club.
After giving fans just a one-day heads up, the two all-star musicians have dropped their new single “Mind Your Business” — a full decade after first working together on 2012’s “Scream & Shout.”
On the track, Brit and the Black Eyed Peas founder riff over spacey synth ripples, with the Princess of Pop declaring, “Mind your business, b—-.”
The new track also recycles a tagline featured throughout “Scream & Shout”: “You are now rockin’ with Will.i.am and Britney, b—-.”
The project was only announced one day ahead of time, with Will.i.am simply tweeting out a 16-second snippet of the electronic dance track. “UH OH!!! You are now NOW rocking with will.i.am and @britneyspears…🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” he captioned the sneak peek.
New music from Spears is notoriously scarce these days, with the pop star having dedicated much of her time to nurturing her personal life and writing her highly anticipated memoir — The Woman in Me, out Oct. 24 — following the termination of her 13-year conservatorship in November 2021.
But given the success of “Scream & Shout,” which has raked in more than a billion views on YouTube and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, will.i.am makes for a solid choice collaborator to follow up Brit’s 2022 “Hold Me Closer” duet with Elton John. The latter song marked Spears’ first new music release since her 2016 album Glory.
