Britney Spears has teased her fans with a still photo from her new single 'Hold It Againt Me'.

The singer posted the image, which shows her framed in a circle of journalist's microphones, on her Twitter page.

In an accompanying message, Spears said the video, directed by Jonas Akerlund, was “one of the best videos I have ever done”.

She also described working with Akerlund as an “incredible experience”. The Swedish filmaker was behind the video for Lady Gaga's 'Telephone'

'Hold It Against Me' is the first song taken from Spears as-yet-untitled new album, due to be released in March.
