At the time of the music video's announcement in October 2016, Tinashe couldn't help herself from gushing over the opportunity to work with one of her role models. She wrote on Instagram, "The face you make when the rumors are true and you collabed with your idol & basically your whole life is a dream so you keep it cute for Brit but inside you are wigless and dead."
Tinashe, who is one of many celebrities who have shared their support for Britney amid her ongoing conservatorship battle, told ET that the singer still inspires her today.
"She really is like the blueprint, the true blueprint, in terms of what it means to be a pop star," she raved. "For me, she was the first album I ever bought. I think just from her performance, to her choreography, her songs themselves, [she inspires me]."
