Britney Spears has teased that new music could be on the way and it is the good news we have been waiting for.

The 40-year-old pop star took to Instagram to share a throwback clip of herself dancing in high heels to her 2007 song Get Naked (I Got a Plan), which she called a "tease of what's to come".

Alongside the clip, she wrote: "This is 13 seconds of me in heels before I dyed my hair purple. This is a tease of what's to come !!!! My song Get Naked!!! Hope you guys are having a great day !!!!! Pss No hair and make-up !!! Just PLAYING around folks !!!!"(sic)

The iconic pop star has released nine studio albums over the course of her career but has not dropped a record since 2016's Glory.

It comes just days after the Baby One More Time hitmaker - who regained control of her multimillion-dollar fortune back in November 2021 when the conservatorship governed by her family was terminated - publicly thanked her lawyer Mathew Rosengart for "turning [her] life around" and teased that there are "so many exciting projects ahead".

Back in December, insider told of how the Womanizer hitmaker is also looking forward to shaping her own career in 2022.

The source told Entertainment Tonight: "Britney is her own decision-maker now and she wants to expand her professional horizons. She's just waiting for the right time for everything."
