Britney Spears fans are desperately hoping she’ll surprise us with new music in the near future, but it’s unlikely this will happen. The Pop Princess recently addressed the rumors that she’s plotting new music and revealed there’s not much truth to them.

Only a few days after it was reported that Spears was working with Charlie XCX on her new album, Spears took to social media to clear the air and say she’s not plotting her comeback.

“Just so we’re clear most of the news is trash!!! They keep saying I’m turning to random people to do a new album… I will never return to the music industry!!! When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people!!!” wrote Spears.

She also revealed that she prefers ghostwriting music for other artists instead of working on her own, adding she’s written over 20 songs for other people in the past two years.

Britney Spears hasn’t released a new album since Glory in 2016, which produced singles “Make Me” and “Slumber Party”. Despite not working on new music while fighting to get out of her conservatorship, Spears collaborated with Elton John on the song “Hold Me Closer” in 2022 and will.i.am on “Mind Your Business” just last year.
