Britney Spears’ Song That Was Left Off the Album Released 25 Years Later.

Britney Spears has released “She’ll Never Be Me,” a previously unreleased song she recorded with Justin Timberlake in 2001. The track arrives ahead of the release of a 25th-anniversary edition of her album Britney.
In the song, Spears addresses an ex-boyfriend who has found a new girlfriend who resembles her. The central message is captured in the song’s title: “She’ll Never Be Me.”
According to the song’s co-writer, Alex Greggs, the track was left off the 2001 album because there were other songs considered stronger choices at the time. The song was also not ready in time for the album’s release.
Some fans previously speculated that the lyrics might refer to actress Cameron Diaz, who dated Timberlake from 2003 to 2006. However, that theory does not hold up, as the song was written in 2001.
