American singer and Princess of Pop, Britney Spears has said she will never return to the music industry.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Britney Spears made this known on Wednesday via an Instagram post, following rumours of a new album.
There have been several reports that the Princess of Pop had approached Charli XCX and Julia Michaels to present songs for a new album.
However, Spears denied the reports, saying she only writes for fun or for other artists.
“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!!! For those of you who have read my book, there’s loads that you don’t know about me.
“I’ve written over 20 songs for other people the past two years!!! I’m a ghostwriter and I honestly enjoy it that way,” Spears stated.
TNG reports Spears has 9 studio albums, eight compilation albums, nine box sets and three extended plays (EPs) to her name.
She also has 50 singles, including two as a featured artist; 11 promotional singles, two charity singles, and has made three guest appearances.
The singer’s last album was 2016’s Glory, though she also teamed up with Elton John for 2021’s “Hold Me Closer.”
Since then, no songs written by Spears have seen release, leading to the possibility that the 42-year-old uses a pseudonym to write for others.
In her recent memoir, The Woman in Me, Spears wrote: “pushing forward in my music career is not my focus at the moment.
“It’s time for me not to be someone who other people want; it’s time to actually find myself”.
