Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys out with new song 'Matches'
Get ready to time travel back to 2001. "Matches," a song on the deluxe edition of Britney Spears' 2016 album, "Glory," is out now. The banger features the pop icon and the Backstreet Boys together singing about a love affair that's dangerous but oh-so-hot.
"Our fire is killing me / The good kind of killing me / Like playing with matches, matches, matches," the two acts sing. "This might leave some damage, damage, damage / The good kind of damage, damage, damage."
"Matches" joins "Mood Ring" and "Swimming in the Stars" on the "Glory" deluxe edition, which is out now.
"'Matches' featuring my friends @BackstreetBoys is out now !!!!" Spears wrote on her social media accounts. "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 !!!!"
Spears also commented on the fact that fans got together earlier this year to send "Glory" back into the iTunes top 10. "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!!!!" she added.
On their socials, the Backstreet Boys wrote, "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!! #BritneyXBackstreet is finally here!"
