Britney Spears Releases Track With Justin Timberlake

Britney Spears has released the previously unreleased song She'll Never Be Me, a duet with Justin Timberlake recorded for her 2001 album Britney. The track arrived ahead of the album's 25th anniversary special edition, which RCA will release on November 6. Spears and Timberlake recorded the song with Bradley Daymond and Alex Greggs, the duo known as Riprock 'n' Alex G. The track was shared solely as a Facebook Reel, without any announcement or press release on her official website or other social media accounts.

She'll Never Be Me is one of five previously unreleased tracks included on the anniversary edition. The other unreleased songs are Am I a Sinner, When I Say So, My Big Secret, and the full version of Right Now (Taste the Victory), which was first used in a 2002 Pepsi commercial. This release is Spears's first recording to surface since her 2023 collaboration Mind Your Business with will.i.am.

In addition, Liz Meriwether is adapting Spears's memoir The Woman in Me into a feature film. The film will be directed by Jon M. Chu and produced by Marc Platt. The project marks Meriwether's return to cinema after not writing a feature film in 15 years.
