Good news: Britney Spears is set to release a new song! Bad news: It took a sequel to The Smurfs to get her to do it.

The new Britney Spears song called “Ooh La La” will run during The Smurfs 2’s end credits when it hits theaters July 31, 2013.

In making the announcement, Spears dated herself by bringing her kids up. “I have always loved the Smurfs as a kid and now my boys are the biggest Smurfs fans EVER. I wanted to surprise them with a song in the movie. I know they’ll think it’s Smurftastic!”

The Smurfs 2 director Raja Gosnell commented on the exciting news of Spears’ involvement. “I am very excited that Britney is joining our smurfy adventure. ‘Ooh La La’ is the perfect Smurf-party song, and the perfect button on the film for audiences around the world.”

Presumably the new Britney Spears song will be released ahead of the film’s premiere. A press release states that “more information on the song is coming soon.”

Unlike a lot of Spears’ hits, we’re assuming this one will not offer up double entendres because it is going in a kids movie. However, we’ll be holding out a little bit of hope considering the title of the song is a bit inviting.

Are you ready for a new Britney Spears song?

Spears is rumored to have a new album in the works for a release later this year. In 2012 she appeared as a judge on season 2 of Simon Cowell’s The X Factor.
