After reports surfaced that American singer and songwriter Britney Spears was ready to make her musical comeback, she has shared a candid social media post discussing why she's been hesitant to release new music.

The Grammy winner, whose 13-year conservatorship officially came to an end last month took to Instagram and set the record straight. According to Britney, she had hoped to "perform new songs and remixes of my old songs" but was allegedly unable to do so while she was under the conservatorship.
