Even though her Instagram page is down for the moment, Britney still took to Twitter to tell her fans that she's feeling a bit "overwhelmed" after releasing her first song in six years.

"Okie dokie … my first song in 6 years 🎶 !!!! It’s pretty d--- cool that I’m singing with one of the most classic men of our time … @eltonofficial 🚀!!!!" Britney wrote. "I’m kinda overwhelmed… it’s a big deal to me !!! I’m meditating more 🧘🏼‍♀️ and learning my space is valuable and precious !!!"

"I’m learning everyday is a clean slate to try and be a better person and do what makes me happy … yes I choose happiness today," Britney continued. "I tell myself every day to let go of the hurt bitterness and try to forgive myself and others to what may have been hurtful."

"I want to be fearless like when I was younger and not be so scared and fearful," she concluded. "I pray there actually is truth to the Holy Spirit and I hope that spirit is with my children as well !!! Yes … I choose happiness and joy today ☀️ !!!"

Considering how many people love her new song, fans are hoping that Britney will finally feel the love, support, and happiness she deserves to feel every day!
