Dr. Luke Admits Writing 'Hold It Against Me' for Britney Spears

 Earlier this week, rumor has swirled on the web suggesting Britney Spears upcoming first single will be titled "Don't Hold It Against Me". Along with the news, it is also reported that the new single will debut on January 3 next year and an audio stream which seems to be a demo for the track hit the web.

While Britney's camp who is usually quick to address any misleading info about the pop singer remains mum, Dr. Luke steps up to clarify the report. On his Twitter, he wrote, "I/ we never wrote a song called 'don't hold it against me'.... BewaRe of InaccuraTe info kids."

Later, the top-notch producer who is involved in the making of Britney's next studio installment added,

"We did write 'hold it against me' but those lyrics are NOT the lyrics...." He didn't say anything about the release date and the audio stream though.

Beside Dr. Luke, Britney also works with Danja, Darkchild, Sean Garrett and Max Martin. On her 29th birthday, she gave her fans update on the status of the album. She tweeted, "I'm almost done with my new album and it will be coming out this March. I AM IN L-O-V-E WITH IT!"

Britney Spears’ Big Birthday Night

With her big comeback CD release, as well as turning 27 years old, Britney Spears had a lot to celebrate yesterday (December 2). And she started off her night by taping her appearance at Rockefeller Center for the New York City Tree Lighting Ceremony.

A source told press that the arrangements for the “Gimme More” singer’s involvement changed several times before she finally decided to just pre-tape the whole thing.

Britney Spear's Great Return Video And Pictures

Britney Spears made her return to network television this morning, performing “Circus” and “Womanizer” from her new album Circus (out today) on Good Morning America, and two of your Rock Daily editors were lucky enough to win front-row tickets to the Big Apple Circus spectacular via Spears’ Website. So what didn’t you see on national TV while we munched on red velvet birthday cake and wooed on command? Keep reading for photos from the scene and more.

• Longtime Spears choreographer Wade Robson stepped onto the stage before the cameras rolled, checking out the cage from which dancers emerged during “Circus.” Her manager, Larry Rudolph, did a similar walk-through before “Womanizer.”

• Spears’ sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were carried in and out of the arena several times by beefy bodyguards. Fans screamed their names, and Jayden waved to the crowd from his seat next to Britney’s mom, Lynne. He later bopped a bodyguard on the head with the “Britney Spears/Happy Birthday” sign he was clutching.

• Fans went nuts when the lights went down and Spears got on top of the cage for the start of “Circus.” Though she was crouched in position and concentrating hard, she gave a little wave and smile to people on either side of the stage.

• A stagehand armed with a fire extinguisher crouched next to the stage, ready to douse the flames on the circle Spears’ stepped through at the start of “Womanizer.”

• An army of men in trenchcoats and earpieces roamed the premises to ensure Brit’s safety. The one in front of us scrunched down to avoid blocking sightlines during “Womanizer” and got a special tap on the head from a dancer perched nearby.

• Attendees were given samples of Britney’s fragrances upon entering, and clown noses from the Big Apple Circus on the way out.

• The crew of fans dressed like Britney were relocated for their interview with Sam Champion and sent back to their seats for the performance. The rest of the crowd chuckled during their chat.

• To pass the time between segments, clowns from the Big Apple Circus roamed the crowd, tossing beach balls and performing a few hat tricks.
