Last week, a source told Us Weekly that the divorce “is a new chapter for Britney in more ways than one” as she prepares to make a career comeback.

The insider claimed that she has been “focusing on herself” and working on new music. “The songs will be about freeing herself from negativity and unhealthy people,” the source stated, adding that she wanted to release her new music around the same time as her highly anticipated memoir, “The Woman In Me.”
