“She’s awesome as a contributor, and it’s awesome that there is a trust,” the musician told Page Six.

“She’s a very sweet girl… amazing personality and strong to be able to endure. I love making music with her. She’s dope and her contributions to the culture have been really awesome especially with dance.”

Will.i.am first collaborated with Spears in 2011 for Big Fat Bass which was featured on her Femme Fatale album. They then worked on her 2012’s Scream & Shout, and the 2013 track, Work B–ch.

He also executive-produced Spears’ 2013 album, Britney Jean. And they joined forces again a decade later for song, Mind Your Business, marking their fourth collab.
