Can we please talk about the Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys collaboration?

In something that grants the wish of many a 90s kid, Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys have released a collaboration together, titled Matches.

The pop princess and the boy band – which is comprised of AJ McLean, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough – came together, finally, for the track on Britney’s deluxe edition of her 2016 LP Glory which is out now.

The …Baby One More Time hitmaker blessed us with the announcement, as she tweeted overnight: ‘Matches featuring my friends @backstreetboys is out now!!!!

‘I’m so excited to hear what you think about our song together!!!! You can also listen to Glory Deluxe everywhere now!’

Perhaps not surprisingly, this collab has been in the works for decades, according to the boy band, who wrote on their own social media: ‘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!’

BritneyXBackstreet…we like the look of that.


Last week, Britney released a never-heard-before song from the album, Swimming In The Stars, to mark her 39th birthday.

However, in a blow to fans of the new tunes it was revealed that Britney ‘will not perform’ while her father Jamie Spears is her conservator.

Jamie has been in control of Britney’s life, career and finances for the past 12 years following her mental health episode, where she was placed in an involuntary psychiatric hold.
