Twenty-five years after Britney Spears released her self-titled third studio album, the pop icon is revisiting the era in a big way. Britney (25th Anniversary Edition) is on the way, set to arrive on November 6, 2026 through RCA Records as an expanded reissue of her 2001 landmark record.
The expanded edition stretches the original 12-track album to 23 songs, adding 11 bonus tracks that include five previously unreleased recordings. Leading the charge is the long-rumored "She'll Never Be Me," a 2001 recording co-written by Spears with Justin Timberlake, Bradley Daymond and Alex Greggs that finally surfaced on October 9, 2026.
