In recent years, Britney Spears has been rather quiet musically. But now the 41-year-old singer has announced on Instagram that she has written a new song.
The song is to be called "Hate You To Like Me ". Spears also shared a portrait photo of herself in which she can be seen with her eyes closed.
Britney Spears: "I've written a new song"
"I wrote a new song!", Britney Spears begins her statement, before going into more or less cryptic lines about the meaning of the title of her new song:
"No fights with anyone ... Just being a narcissist in a claimed, self-proclaimed way!"
The singer then explains her photo choice: "It's about creating interest by showing my ego with my eyes closed, because I hear that's what important people are doing these days."
Spears does not provide any further details, such as the release date of the song.
First new solo song in seven years
"Hate You To Like Me" would be Britney Spears' first new solo song since the release of her last studio album seven years ago. "Glory" was the ninth studio album of her career in 2016 and contained the singles "Make Me" and "Slumber Party".
Since then, the singer has made little musical noise.
She released the song " Hold Me Closer" with Elton John last year and "Mind Your Business" with rapper Will.i.am this summer.
This single marks the duo's fourth collaboration after "Big Fat Bass" (2011), "Scream & Shout" (2012) and "It Should Be Easy" (2013).
Britney Spears planned second autobiography
Britney Spears has stayed out of show business in recent years since she finished her "Piece Of Me" tour. This lasted from July to October 2018.
Nevertheless, she has been omnipresent in the media - for example through her fight against her father's guardianship, the breakdown of her marriage to Sam Asghari and most recently with her autobiography, which was published on Tuesday.
In it, for example, she wrote about her previous relationship with Justin Timberlake and revealed that she was pregnant by him at the time and had an abortion. She has since announced that she will publish another part of her memoirs next year.
