Britney Spears' fifth studio album is in final stages of production. Spears' record label anticipates a release in fall 2007 with a single that September.[16][1]

An anonymous insider accused Jive records of not knowing how to market the album, claiming that Spears has "lost her core fan base of teen girls" because of widely reported incidents in her personal life, and asserting that Jive has not yet picked a producer for the album. Jive has countered by issuing a statement saying that it "is not worried about marketing the album", and that in fact it is "looking forward to the release" in the second half of 2007, stating that it does not comment on its artists' personal lives.[16]

In December 2006, Sean Garrett spoke about the upcoming album and called it "incredible". He said the seven tracks he had produced were "exciting, aggressive, and fun." He added that her music was "definitely getting back to the basics and trying to make the world dance and sing to her beat."[6] In April 2007, he further commented that, "Her new album is like 'Toxic' times 10. It's going to be a lot of fun and really exciting."[17] On the subject of the single he produced for Spears, Garrett commented in June 2007, "It's uptempo, out of control...it's wowzers, produced by me and Bloodshy. I can't give the title yet, but the record is done and definitely what people want to hear from her."[18]

Producer Ne-Yo also has spoken to the press about Spears' new album. He said Spears' record company told him from the beginning "we don't need no songs about Kevin". He stated the songs he is writing will be "songs about all the controversy, then, you know, aside from all that, they'll be just regular quality songs. Songs about love, songs about hate, songs about whatever."[9]

In March, highly-praised music producer Timbaland, stated he would work with Spears on her album once she was out of rehab. He went on to say Timberlake approved of the idea and even said he would work with Britney as well, as long as she was "serious."[19]

In an interview in the May/June 2007 issue of Scratch, Nate "Danja" Hills announced he produced a track for Spears that sounds like music from a video game.[2]. Elsewhere he has claimed to have produced and co-written seven songs for Spears with other artists such as Keri Hilson and Corte Ellis. According to him, the album is "about feeling good, celebrating womanhood" and not about the recent problems in her personal life.[1]

On June 13, 2007, Spears asked the members of her official fan club to pick the title for the album, via a poll posted on her official web site.[20]
