The track leaked just a few days ahead of its planned May 4 premiere, but it’ll still make a hip addition to your Cinco de Mayo playlist—no one will be sick of hearing it yet. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3844501/britney-spears-pretty-girls/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3844501/britney-spears-pretty-girls/"},"headline":"Hear Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea's New Song 'Pretty Girls'","datePublished":"2015-05-02T22:02:56.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-15T02:08:33.000Z","description":"Is this 2015's song of the summer?","url":"https://time.com/3844501/britney-spears-pretty-girls/","keywords":["Music","Britney Spears","Iggy Azalea"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3844501/britney-spears-pretty-girls/","name":"Hear Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea's New Song 'Pretty Girls'"}}]}] ```
