Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys are finally giving the people what they want.
The famed performers teamed up for the new song “Matches,” which premiered at 9 p.m. PT on Thursday, Dec. 7 and can be heard in the video below. This dropped at the same time as the release of the deluxe edition for Britney’s 2016 album Glory.
“‘Matches’ featuring my friends @BackstreetBoys is out now!!!!” she posted to Instagram. “I’m so excited to hear what you think about our song together!!!! You can also listen to Glory Deluxe everywhere now … including ‘Swimming in the Stars’ and the ‘Mood Ring’ remixes!!!! The love you guys have shown this album this year has been stupid amazing … like I can’t even believe it!!! I hope it brings you joy. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!”
The Backstreet Boys were equally effusive on social media as they noted the fact that it took so long for a pairing of two of the definitive artists from the late 1990s and early 2000s.
“What a GLORIOUS day it is… we’ve been asked about the possibility of a collab like this for the past 20 years and today is the day!!” the group posted. “#BritneyXBackstreet is finally here! #Matches is out now on @britneyspears’ Glory Deluxe.”
