It will be music to the ears of Britney Spears fans all over the world.
On Saturday, the pop superstar, 41, took to her Instagram page and announced she has written a new song titled, which appears to be titled ‘Hate You To Like Me.’
In making the big reveal on social media the singer-songwriter shared a head shot photo of herself looking seductive with her eyes closed.
‘I wrote a new song !!! Hate you to like me !!!’ she began in the caption, before elaborating on the title. ‘No beef with anyone … just being a narcissist in a claimed, self-entitled way !!!’
She went on to explain her photo choice, writing, ‘It’s to accumulate interest by giving ego with my eyes closed because I hear important people do that these days.’
This new song, when released, would be her first new solo song since she dropped her last studio album, Glory (2016), seven years ago.
Glory, which was her ninth studio album of her career, featured the singles Make Me and Slumber Party.
In the seven years since her last full album of original songs, the songstress lent her vocals to Elton John’s Hold Me Closer mashup, which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2022.
And then just this past July Spears collaborated with Will.i.am on the single Mind Your Business.
Just this week, the McComb, Mississippi native released her much-anticipated memoir The Woman in Me, which is full of bombshell revelations, such as being pregnant during her relationship with Justin Timberlake, that ended with her getting an abortion, according to People.
For the most part Mind Your Business received mostly negative reviews, with journalists criticizing the production, vocals, and lyrics, that includes Spears repeating ‘Mind your business, b**ch’ over and over.
The single marks the duo’s fourth collaboration, following Big Fat Bass (2011), Scream & Shout (2012), and It Should Be Easy (2013).
Spears has spent much of the last few years trying to stay out of the spotlight since she wrapped on her Piece Of Me Tour that went from July through October 2018.
Of her nine studio albums, six of them have shot to the top of the Billboard 200 chart.
Overall, Spears has sold over 150 million records worldwide, including over 70 million in the United States, making her one of the world’s best-selling music artists.
It comes after Spears set her fans into a frenzy this weekend when she announced on Instagram that her second memoir will be published next year.
Her first book The Woman In Me hit the shelves Tuesday and has already caused a media earthquake, with bombshell revelations and brutal barbs flung at her ex Justin Timberlake, her family and her old feud-mate Christina Aguilera.
