If 2023 was the year of the memoir for Britney Spears (her confessional book, The Woman in Me, was a bona fide bestseller), then fortunately, 2024 will be the year of new music for the Princess of Pop.

According to Page Six, Charli XCX and Julia Michaels have been tapped to write Spears' first new album in eight years. The new record will be Spears' tenth album.

The Outlet reports that Spears "has yet to record any new songs as the project is just beginning to take shape," but that chart-topping songwriters are lining up to work with her. 5]

Since 2016, much has happened in Spears' life: her 13-year conservatorship ended in 2021, she married Sam Asgari in 2022, and they divorced the following year. Speaking of the book, it was Spears' biggest concern, and its release has freed up time and attention for more music. She is now holding a writers' camp and getting songs from big-name artists," a source told Page Six last year

.

"Britney's album is being kept top secret," a source told The Sun. 'Work has been going on behind the scenes for quite some time to gather a series of killer songs to bring Britney back with a bang. She is known as one of the biggest pop stars of the 21st century, so there is pressure for the music to be great."

Spears previously worked with Michaels on seven songs for Glory, including the single "Slumber Party." Meanwhile, Charli submitted a demo for Spears' 2013 album Britney Jean to no avail." In the end, nothing was recorded, but I'd be honored to get a call from Britney anytime, of course," the singer said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2022. 'What a queen.'

And this month, Spears' first album, ... Baby One More Time," marks the 25th anniversary of its release.
