Elton John, Britney Spears to drop new version of ‘Tiny Dancer’

Elton John and Britney Spears will give John’s classic “Tiny Dancer” an audio makeover.

Hold ’em closer.

“Tiny Dancer” is getting an audio makeover thanks to a reported collaboration between its original singer and co-writer Elton John and Britney Spears, a source in the industry told People.

Lovers of the 1972 hit — featured prominently in one of the most memorable “Almost Famous” scenes — can allegedly expect to enjoy the Andrew Watt-produced track when Universal Music drops it next month.

Representatives for the British “Bennie and the Jets” singer, 75, and the American “Stronger” pop star, 40, did not immediately return the Daily News’ request for comment.

Both artists have recently been digging into their archives before sharing new spins on their music with fans.

John and Dua Lipa last year released “Cold Heart,” a mash-up featuring several of the former’s songs — including portions set to the tune of “Rocket Man.”

Spears last week took to Instagram to share her explicit, acoustic version of “…Baby One More Time,” noting that she’d tried, and wasn’t allowed, for more than a decade — during the time she was under the control of an oppressive conservatorship, terminated in 2021 — to give the public a different version of the hit.
