Further, the pop star went on to praise Justin's new song ''Selfish''.

''I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song “Selfish” 🌹 It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ???'' she wrote. 

In her memoir, The Woman in Me, Spears shared many secrets of her life, from getting pregnant at the age of 19 to aborting a baby. She revealed how she underwent abortion because her beau at the time didn’t want to be a father. 

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake dated for a brief period in the early 2000s. 

She wrote in her memoir, "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. 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."

In her book, she also accused Justin of tarnishing her image with his video “Cry Me A River”, which turned her into a villain. 

In her memoir, she writes that the song “Cry Me A River” turned her into a “harlot” as many people thought that it was about her and she was the one who cheated in the relationship that led to their breakup.
