Although the direction of the collaboration remains unknown, Britney’s friend Paris Hilton recently teased the “iconic” release.

“I just heard it a few days ago in Ibiza and it is… it’s insane,” she said. 

Britney’s return to the studio comes after the pop star shared an Instagram video of herself singing a new version of her debut single …Baby One More Time.
