"Hold Me Closer" will be Spears’ first new music since she released her 2016 album "Glory" which was later expanded with bonus tracks and released in 2020. One of the tracks from the album was a collaboration with the Backstreet Boys titled "Matches," according to Billboard.

Spears fans have to be excited that the "Oops I Did It Again" singer is releasing new music after nearly 14 years when a judge ruled in favor of terminating the court conservatorship that has affected her life. The singer’s attorney lauded her "courage and poise" in the wake of the ruling last November.

The complexity of the conservatorship was two-fold: one part covered her estate, including her finances, while the other was of her person, which included her health and well-being.
The entertainer’s attorney Mathew Rosengart made it his goal to have James Spears removed from his role as conservator of his daughter’s finances before working to end the conservatorship altogether. The judge suspended James Spears at a September hearing, citing the "toxic environment" his presence created.
