Britney Spears, Iggy Azalea New Song 2015: Singers to Team Up for New Single 'Pretty Girl' and Its Music Video
Britney Spears will be coming out with a new single that her fans can listen to this May.
In a recent interview with People, the pop star confirmed that she will be releasing a new single titled "Pretty Girl" in collaboration with Iggy Azalea.
Spears also revealed that she will be shooting the music video for that song with Azalea soon, according to the Entertainment Weekly.
Billboard reported that the joint single has received an official release date of May 5, stoking anticipation for Spears' first music video in two years.
"And while Azalea is now a household name after an incredible 2014 and Spears remains a generation-defining star, the upcoming collaboration could pay dividends for two artists who could use a hit at this moment in their respective careers," Billboard said.
"Azalea leaning on Spears, and vice versa, is not only an exciting development, but feels like a strategic move for each artist," it added.
On March 10, Azalea's "Great Escape" arena tour with Nick Jonas and Tinashe was postponed from April to mid-September "due to tour production delays," Billboard said, citing sources from Def Jam Recordings.
The "Pretty Girl" release date arrived with little fanfare, tagged at the end of an article detailing Spears' upcoming People cover story about her life at home with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Citing a fan-obtained register, Music Times reported that "Pretty Girls" was originally written by the British girl group Little Mix.
It added that "Pretty Girls" may not necessarily lead to an album for Spears, who earlier told Billboard that writing and releasing a full studio album is "not a priority" for her.
Instead, Spears is continuing to focus on her Las Vegas residency and dropping individual singles over the next few years.
Releasing just one single isn't a new move for Spears. In the past, she's seen successes with tracks like "3," "Do Somethin'" and "Someday (I Will Understand)," which weren't necessarily attached to any particular album.
