"Slumber Party" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her ninth studio album, Glory (2016). It was written by Mattias Larsson, Robin Fredriksson, Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, and produced by Mattman & Robin. The duo was also responsible for vocal production alongside Mischke Butler. The song was released as the second single from the album on November 17, 2016. A remix version featuring vocals from American singer Tinashe was sent to US contemporary hit radio on November 22. A reggae-pop and R&B track, "Slumber Party" features brass, marimba, syncopated synths, percussion and a horn section in its instrumentation. Lyrically, the song was described as an ode to fornicating and making sex tapes. In it, Spears evokes one-night stands, the ritual of sleepovers with friends and the teenage game seven minutes in heaven.
"Slumber Party" received positive reviews from music critics, who emphasized its sensual nature. Commercially, the song appeared on the national charts of countries such as Canada, Spain, Scotland and the United States, where it debuted and peaked at 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while topping the Dance Club Songs chart. A music video directed by Colin Tilley was shot in October 2016, and according to Spears, has an Eyes Wide Shut (1999) theme. The video was released on November 18, and features Spears and Tinashe during a sleepover-themed masquerade party in a mansion, where they are seen in rooms filled with bubbles, smoke and flashing lights. The video also features actor Sam Asghari, whom Spears would later go on to marry and divorce. "Slumber Party" was added to the set list of her residency show, Britney: Piece of Me (2013—2017), and was performed on two of her concert tours.
