Britney Spears has made a definitive statement about her future in the music industry, declaring she will “never return.” This announcement comes after a six-year hiatus from releasing new music, which ended in 2022 with her collaboration with Elton John on the remix of “Tiny Dancer,” titled “Hold Me Closer.”
At the time of the release, Spears expressed her excitement and personal growth on social media, noting the significance of collaborating with Elton John and her focus on happiness and self-improvement. However, it appears that her journey has led her away from creating her own music.
In a recent Instagram post, Spears addressed rumors and clarified her stance, emphasizing that she will not be returning to the music industry. She shared an image of a painting by Guido Reni, accompanied by a caption dismissing claims of her working on a new album. She expressed her current enjoyment in ghostwriting for others, revealing that she has written over 20 songs for other people in the past two years. Spears also addressed false claims about her book being released without her approval, affirming her contentment and feeling of being loved and blessed.
