‘Just to be clear, most of the news is rubbish! They keep saying I’m going to random people to make a new album… I’m never coming back to the music industry!’ Spears wrote in an impassioned post at the time.
Although she stopped releasing her own songs, she said her passion for music never wavered and she occasionally worked on songs for other pop stars as a ghost songwriter.
‘When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people!!! For those of you who have read my book, there are a lot of things you don’t know about me… I’ve written over 20 songs for other people in the last two years!!!’ She explained.
‘I’m a ghostwriter and I honestly enjoy it that way!!! People also say that MY BOOK WAS PUBLISHED WITHOUT MY APPROVAL ILLEGALLY and that is far from the truth… have you read the news these days??? I’m so LOVED and blessed!!!’
Among the songs Spears has written for other artists are Whiplash by Selena Gomez and Follow Me by her sister Jamie Lynn Spears.
