People think Y2K Britney Spears is the inspiration behind viral new duet

The second single from Tyla’s upcoming album pairs R&B, Afrobeats and pop with throwback visuals that fans say evoke early-2000s Britney Spears.

  • On Friday, April 17, 2026, South African singer Tyla and Swedish pop star Zara Larsson released their collaboration "SHE DID IT AGAIN," featuring bedazzled gold bikini tops and low-rise jeans evoking early-2000s pop aesthetics.
  • After following each other on social media, the duo met in person at The Box in London; Larsson heard a snippet online and Tyla reached out, leading them to the studio together.
  • Blending Afrobeats and pop, the track embraces a Y2K aesthetic. Tyla said it "pushes the song further into pop territory," while Larsson noted she wants listeners to "feel free and hot."
  • Fans online praised the release, with some comparing the duo's visual styling to Beyonc and Shakira's "Beautiful Liar." The accompanying music video, set between a desert and waterfall, reinforces this pop lineage.
  • "SHE DID IT AGAIN" serves as a teaser for Tyla's upcoming sophomore album, A-Pop, while both artists maintain busy solo schedules; Larsson recently found success with "Stateside" following her Midnight Sun tour.
