We are now just two days away from welcoming a new year ... and only eight days away from hearing a new Britney Spears track.

The singer, who has been in the studio for a few months now, will debut a single produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke on January 7.

Sharon Dastur, program director for New York's Z100, called the hook for "Hold It Against Me" just "amazing."

"And the beat that they give her is really unique compared to other artists — this infectious bass beat beneath the song," Dastur added.

Sounds like a great way to start 2011 to me!
