Miley Cyrus told MTV at her album launch party in New York last month:
“I hope ‘SMS (Bangerz)’ with Britney. That would be awesome,” Miley said adding that she “can’t quit thinking” about what the video with Britney would look like.
Producer Sean Garett told MTV in October Gwen Stefani was also in the running to lay down vocals on the song and remix it with Nicki Minaj.
“The first name that we tossed around was Gwen Stefani. We were talking about Gwen because you know Gwen got that edge too, but that’s how God works. We were throwing around those ideas.”
“Nicki, we were talking about putting Nicki on there too. That would’ve been nuts too, but I think that’s how God works, this was absolutely the right one.”
“[The song] is like five different things, it’s hip-hop, it’s the girls, it’s a female anthem, Salt-n-Pepa, Britney and Miley.”
