While fans were certain she was going to drop a new single, it wasn't until Tuesday morning that Spears revealed she would be releasing a memoir instead, titled The Woman in Me.
The new book, which is currently available for pre-order and said to hit shelves on October 24, is "a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope" that promises to detail the "incredible journey (and) strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history,” per a press release. It "illuminates the enduring power of music and love — and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms."
Aside from her "Hold Me Closer" single that features the one and only Elton John–which debuted this past August as the pop star's first release since terminating her controversial conservatorship–Spears hasn't released any new music since her 10th studio album Glory in 2016.
