Charli, 31, explained that she then learned that Spears may not have been aware of the process when the “Toxic” singer took to social media to deny claims that she would return to music in January.

“Britney then posted and said, ‘I don’t get texted by random people.’ I thought, “OK, go for it!” So I don’t know if she was involved in the process,” the songwriter continued.

“Her team was running before they could walk,” she added. “Britney probably has plenty of other projects she’s focused on. So I was asked about it, but I don’t know if it’s true.

Andy Cohen asked if Charli had written any songs, hoping Spears, 42, would record them.

“Of course,” said the English hitmaker. “I went to Malibu and wrote. You always write songs hoping that Britney will record them… but you know, she didn’t record them.

In January, sources told Page Six that Charli and Julia Michaels were among the songwriters invited to work on the “Circus” singer’s possible new album.

At the time, the project was in its early stages and Spears had not recorded any of the songs.

The Grammy winner’s last album, “Glory,” was released in 2016, but since then she has worked on smaller projects, including “Hold Me Closer” with Elton John in 2021 and “Mind Your Business” with Will.i.amem in 2023

Even though Spears’ team has apparently urged her to return to the recording studio, the pop star is reluctant and has vowed never to release another album in January.

“Let me be clear that most of the news is bullshit!!! They keep saying that I will approach random people to record a new album… I will never go back to the music industry!!!” – the “Gimme More” singer wrote on Instagram.

In September 2022, she will too she claimed she would “probably never perform again” due to “trauma” on stage during his 13-year tenure.

Under the control of her father, Jamie Spears, the pop icon was forced to perform during her “Piece of Me” tour in New Jersey in 2018 despite having a 30-degree fever.

Before her conservatorship will end in November 2021, Britney testified that performing with a fever was “one of the scariest moments of her life”.

She later detailed the patriarch’s abuse in her best-selling memoir, “The Woman in Me,” claiming he also forced her on a “strict diet” of chicken and vegetables.
