Clubby, catchy, cool!

"Scream and Shout," will.i.am's new single featuring Britney Spears, leaked Saturday. The upbeat, auto-tune-heavy track is from the Black Eyes Peas musician's upcoming album Willpower, due out Dec. 7.

"When you hear this in the club, you're gonna turn this s--t up," Britney, sounding very much like Madonna, sings repetitively.

The X Factor judge also refers to herself as "Britney, bitch" several times throughout the song.

"Can't say I'm thrilled our song leaked but…," Brit tweeted. "I AM super excited that my fans seem to love it as much as @iamwill and I do. What do you guys think about #ScreamAndShout?"

"@britneyspears I am so happy people like #screamANDshout…," will.i.am added. "I can't wait until they see the video…my #iamangels are your #britneyarmy=LOVE."

Brit called in to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM show Monday and gushed that will.i.am "just really gets music in the broadest spectrum."

"I can't sit down. I have to dance. I wanna dance. I fele like I'm at the culb," she added. "I generally have a good time [working with will.i.am.]"

The official music video for "Scream and Shout" will debut Thursday on X Factor.
