That synth is absurdly catchy; I'm excited to give this a review! My comments should be done by Sunday. Feel free to discuss them if you disagree.

The article reads nicely, I have a handful of comments though. For the record, I did a fairly large copyedit, as well as some adjustments to the "Hotline Bling" sentence and the last paragraphs of the "Recording and composition" and music video "Reception" sections. I also adjusted some links.
featuring vocals from American singer Tinashe in a remix version. It was sent to US contemporary hit radio on November 22, 2016.— to clarify that the remix version was sent to radio, combine these phrases into their own sentence
Lyrically, the song is defined as— perhaps, "was described as"
where Spears uses double entendre, while evoking one-night stands, the ritual of sleepovers with friends and the teenage game of seven minutes in heaven.— I don't know how to make this work with the previous phrase, so I'd split it off into its own sentence
placed emphasis on— "emphasized"
It also later appeared in Just Dance 2018.— I'm not sure how to incorporate this into the article, but since it's probably not the most essential, you could remove it.
several polls for different magazines to ask— perhaps, "several polls to different magazines asking"
it's definitely a song you wanna take you and your girlfriends go out and just have a great time— I did a double take when I read this. I don't want to make too many modifications, but I feel like it's in order. Perhaps: "It's definitely a song you [listen to when] you and your girlfriends go out and just have a great time".
composition details— "details" feels a bit odd, I would remove it
three minutes and thirty-four seconds (3:34)— is the length in brackets necessary? Although, if it's been done on other articles, then fair game.
"cooing backing vocals" and percussion— this sort of implies that the percussion was cooing. Did any other source give a musical description of the percussion?
For Alex Macpherson of The Guardian, the song "is reminiscent of Spears's 2003 album, In the Zone."— in what ways?
said that the song "serves its purpose quite well", calling it "another danceable song."— "the song" becomes repetitive, so I would leave it at "dancable"
"Slumber Party" debuted at number 157 following the release of Glory, and climbed to number 121 a week later.— of what chart?
"purpley-blue room"— "purplish-blue" (without quotation marks)
For Zac Johnson of E! News, "Not since 'Boys' has Britney made walking through party look like art", and also praised the chemistry between Spears and Tinashe— these phrases don't mesh together, consider splitting them.
Almost all sources are reliable and no major issues with their formatting. Though, a handful of them were dead, so I used the "fix dead links" tool. Still, I have a few comments.
where Spears uses double entendre— can't find in the article
The video also features Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari.— their divorce is not mentioned in the article, but this Today piece mentions his role retrospectively.
A music video directed by Colin Tilley was shot on October 25, 2016,— I would leave this at "October 2016". I would remove the specific date in the article as well. Spears's photo might not have been posted the day of the shoot, or the shoot could've lasted many days.
All sections seem nearly comprehensive. No glaring issues on this front.
No blatant promotion; quotes and statements are differentiated. In fact, quotes are used quite liberally, but they are all attributed.
No recent edit wars or content disputes.
Sufficiently illustrated, if not comprehensively. Fair use licences are satisfactory and the images improve the reader's understanding.
On first impression, the article looks very tidy! I think only a few more fixes are needed.
