Rumors have been swirling this week that Britney Spears' 10th studio album is in the works...

But we have bad news for you, and it's straight from the singer herself.

On Wednesday, Spears took to Instagram to address the buzz.

In a lengthy and now-deleted post, the "Oops... I Did it Again" singer swore the "news" is absolutely false, noting that she will "never return to the music industry."

Per the HuffPost, she wrote:

“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 !!!”

Spears continued:

"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 !!!"

She also addressed speculation that her new memoir The Woman in Me was released without her approval, which she shared was also a lie.

"People are also saying MY BOOK WAS RELEASED WITHOUT MY APPROVAL ILLEGALLY and that's far from the truth ... have you read the news these days ???"

Spears finished her post:

"I'm so LOVED and blessed !!!"

While people on social media were disappointed to learn they wouldn't be getting new tunes from the singer, they completely understood and respected her decision.













In August 2022, the singer released "Hold Me Closer" with Elton John, her first release since her 13-year conservatorship ended.

While fans undoubtedly wanted more music from Spears, she wrote in her memoir that music wasn't her "focus" anymore.

"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."
