In the eye-catching image, the singer ramps up the glamour as she poses in the multi-coloured ensemble, which features a small blue bow on the side as is partially covered with a metallic silver cropped jacket.

With her golden tresses swept up into a voluminous high ponytail, she stares seductively at the camera while standing before a vibrant yellow background.Beside the snap, she shared lyrics from the single - set to be released on September 1st - which read: 'Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance now.'In another shot, she wows once again as she slips into a sleeveless silver minidress, while shaking her lustrous blonde locks.
