Britney Spears has a treat for her fans.

Following the releases of "Make Me... (feat. G-Eazy)" and "Private Show," Spears dropped "Clumsy" at midnight Thursday. The song, available as an instant download with a pre-order of Glory on iTunes, is also streaming on Spotify. Spears co-wrote "Clumsy" with Talay Riley, while Warren "Oak" Felderand and Alex Nice co-produced the song. "Call me a fool / Call me insane / But don't call it a thing," Spears purrs. "Closer to you / Closer to pain / It's better than far away."

"Clumsy" leaked hours before its official release. Spears later shared a snippet via Instagram.

Glory, available Aug. 26, is Spears' ninth studio album. Based on the three tracks she released in advance, it appears to be sonically in line with 2013's Britney Jean and 2011's Femme Fatale. "I got to write and work with so many amazing people, some that I've wanted to work with for a long time, and some new up and comers that we're going to see many more amazing things from in the future," the pop princess told fan site Britney-Galaxy.com in a recent Q&A. "Writing and recording this album was such an enjoyable experience, and I'm really grateful for that."

An official track listing has yet to be revealed, but Spears did offer a teaser. "'Invitation' is the first track that's on the album, which I co-wrote with Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter and Nick Monson," she said. "It's the perfect track to kick off Glory, and I can't wait for you all to hear it!"

Later this month, Spears will join James Corden for some "Carpool Karaoke" on CBS' The Late Late Show.
