Britney Spears and will.i.am are reportedly planning a follow-up to their hit single Scream & Shout.
The Toxic hitmaker, who last worked with the Black Eyed Peas rapper on their 2012 single, looks to have teamed up with him again on a brand new track.
A source told The Sun on Sunday’s Bizarre column: “Britney and Will have a huge amount of love and respect for each other and really trust each other’s musical judgement.
“Will has long been Britney’s No. 1 supporter and he wants to see her succeed. Both of them are excited to be releasing this surprise track and they know fans will love it.”
The I Gotta Feeling star recent spoke in support of Britney and admitted he wants to see her “win” at life.
“We’ve done cool things together, and I’m so happy that she’s on this new journey and shining,” he told ‘Good Morning Britain’. “She’s still got hurdles, but you know what, we’re all there to support her.
“I just love her dedication and love for music. That’s just the way it is. I love how sweet she is, and how genuine she is — shy, but fierce. And I want to see her win.”
It’s been seven years since the pop icon released her ninth and most recent album, ‘Glory’ in 2016, before taking a break from the industry amid her conservatorship battle.
Now free from the restraints of the legal arrangement, she’s since teamed up with Elton John on the single Hold Me Closer and looks to have more music coming.
Although Britney has yet to comment, producer Stone wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post: “Spent that last 9 months in the Siberian alps making beats for the new Britney Spears album with bros @stargate.”
The Norwegian duo – starring Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor E. Hermansen – are responsible for monster hits including S Club 7’s S Club Party, Blue’s All Rise, Rihanna’s Don’t Stop The Music, Beyoncé’s Irreplaceable and Katy Perry’s Firework.
It was recently revealed Britney is back in contact with Benny Blanco – the producer behind her hit 2008 single Circus – with the duo discussing working together again.
“I actually recently just reached out to try to start working on some stuff. Like a month ago,” he revealed last September. “I hope [to work with Britney] soon.
“We were talking about trying to do something. I love her new things she put out. She’s incredible. I hope she is doing it.”
