A Britney Spears insider says music executives are ‘trying to get her excited’ about making a new album … after the singer says she would ‘NEVER return to the music industry’

Senior players in the music industry are doing their best to get Britney Spears back into the recording studio for a new album, according to a source close to the singer.

“Right now, management and A&R are trying to get her excited about music,” the source said Rolling stone Wednesday. “Right now, she’s not actively recording, but they’re coming [songs] done to present her.’

The source added that “nothing is set in stone” regarding the Grammy-winning singer, 42, making a new record, after Spears herself vowed on Wednesday that she will “never return to the music industry.”

The Oops!… I Did It Again artist had made the statement on Instagram as she angrily denied two reports that she is currently working on her tenth album, and she had enlisted Julia Michaels and Charli XCX as songwriters for the new project.

“When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people!!!” she said. “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 twenty songs for other people in the last two years!!!”

SPears continued, “I’m a ghostwriter and I’m really enjoying it!!! People are also saying that MY BOOK WAS ILLEGALLY RELEASED WITHOUT MY APPROVAL and that is far from the truth…have you read the news these days??? I am so LOVED and blessed!!!’
