Britney Spears: Little Mix penned
Britney Spears: Trouble
"[Working with Spears was] awesome. We collaborated so many months ago now, it's been a longtime in the making, figuring out whose album it's going to be on. It's going to be on hers and I'm super excited for it," Azalea told Access Hollywood.
Azalea also mentioned that she'll be co-directing the music video, which will shoot next week. Though she previously co-directed the videos for her Reclassified singles "Black Widow" and "Trouble," this will be her first time working on someone else's video. "It makes me super nervous! I just want to do her justice," Azalea said, noting that Spears has also offered her input on the music video and that the two text regularly about new concept ideas.
Azalea also opened up about the song with Extra producer Carlo DeSantis, noting that the song has gone through different forms before winding up as a true duet.
"'Pretty Girls' kind of already existed but we changed it a little bit more to fit in with Britney. I just did a verse on it." @IGGYAZALEA
