Elton John & Britney Spears - Hold Me Closer Lyrics

Elton John & Britney Spears Lyrics

"Hold Me Closer"

Hold me closer
Hold me closer
Hold me closer
Hold me closer

Saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

Oh

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Oh

Hold me closer
Hold me closer (Hold me closer)
Hold me closer
Hold me closer

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels (Baby)
When chances breathe between the silence
When sex and love no longer gel

Oh

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway (Baby)
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Hold me closer
Hold me closer (Baby, baby)
Hold me closer
Hold me closer (Oh yeah)

Hold me closer
Hold me closer
(Hold me closer, me closer) Hold me closer
(Me closer, mm, yeah) Hold me closer

Submit Corrections

"Hold Me Closer" is the first collaboration between Elton John and Britney Spears which said on the matter, "It's pretty damn cool that I'm singing with one of the most classic men of our time. I'm kinda overwhelmed... it's a big deal to me!".

This track is a mash-up of Elton John's hit songs "Tiny Dancer", "The One" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". The result was made in the similar fashion to "Cold Heart", the Dua Lipa duet with Elton John.

Elton John said about working with Britney Spears on this song which was her first music released in six years, "She sang fantastically. Everyone was saying they don't think she can sing any more. But I said, she was brilliant when she started so I think she can. And she did it, and I was so thrilled with what she did."
