Elton John and Britney Spears have collaborated for the first time, creating the slinky, club-ready single 'Hold Me Closer' that sees the pop icons take old sounds and fashion something new.

This combination of photos show Britney Spears in Beverly Hills on April 12, 2018, left, and Elton John in Los Angeles on May 27, 2021.

The funky, piano-driven single uses John's 1971 hit "Tiny Dancer" as the skeleton and adds elements from his songs "The One" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," all with Spears voice soaring and fluttering. "She truly is an icon, one of the all-time great pop stars and she sounds amazing on this record. I love her dearly and am delighted with what we've created together," John said in a statement. Spears, in her statement, told John it was an honor to be asked: "I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to work with you and your legendary mind."

The song begins with both stars singing the opening lyrics of "The One" -- "I saw you dancing out the ocean/Running fast along the sand/A spirit born of earth and water/Fire flying from your hands." It then seamlessly moves to "Tiny Dancer": "Hold me closer, tiny dancer/Count the headlights on the highway/Lay me down in sheets of linen/You had a busy day today.
