Britney Spears praises Justin Timberlake's latest single 'Selfish', says she's 'in love' with his new music

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a surprising turn of events, Britney Spears has publicly praised her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake's new music.

The pop sensation expressed her words of support for Timberlake as she took to her Instagram to post an unexpected message.

Britney Spears says Justin Timberlake's new music is 'so good'

Spears shared a clip from 'The Tonight Show's' recent 'Classroom Instruments' sketch featuring Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon as she added a rose emoji and wrote, "I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song 'Selfish'."

"It is so good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ???," she continued.

The 'Toxic' singer further added of Timberlake's other new single as she wrote, "Ps 'Sanctified' is wow too."

Britney Spears says she is 'deeply sorry' for 'offending' people she cares about in her memoir

Referencing to her 2023 memoir, 'The Woman in Me', Spears expressed her apology for offending "any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry."

"I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book," she wrote.

In her tell-all, the Grammy winner opened up about her failed romance with Timberlake. She claimed in the book that she had a painful at-home abortion during her relationship with Timberlake.

"I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated," she wrote.

"Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young," Spears added.

Following the release of her bombshell memoir, an insider told ET of Timberlake's response to Spears' claims, "Justin has been focusing on his own family and trying not to concern himself with Britney’s memoir. In recent years, Justin has tried to be supportive of Britney from a distance."

"They dated so long ago, but he still has respect for her. Justin and [wife] Jessica Biel just want everyone to grow and evolve instead of continuing to bring up the past," the source said in October 2023.

However, fans of Spears have initiated a concerted effort to boost her 2011 song 'Selfish' against Timberlake's new single of the same name in the wake of her confessions.

The retaliation has propelled the vintage 'Selfish' song to the top 40 of the US iTunes chart with aspirations to break into the top 10.

Meanwhile, Timberlake showcased both 'Selfish' and 'Sanctified' during his recent performance on 'Saturday Night Live.'
