AceShowbiz - Britney Spears has a personal message in her new song ft. will.i.am. Titled "Mind Your Business", the songs finds the pop star and her collaborator telling people to stop invading their privacy.

will.i.am, in the meantime, sings in his own verse, "T-t-t-t-too much looky-looky, I'm so sick of all these looky-loos/ Everybody lookin' at me like I was the breakin' news." The rapper continues, "Police got a sting, watchin' every step I take/ Every move I make, every breath I take (Ha-ha-ha)."
The song arrived just days after will.i.am unleashed its sneak peek on Instagram and Twitter. On Monday, the emcee let out a 15-second teaser video with a tagline that read, "You are now, now rockin with Will.i.am and Britney, b***h."

"So, that's the first thing when it comes to Britney, is like, supporting her for the things that she needs."
