Britney Spears’s New Single Seems to ‘Shade’ Selena Gomez


Britney Spears appears to have hinted at a return to music following the success of her explosive memoir, The Woman in Me.

On Sunday, the Grammy-winning performer announced on Instagram that she had composed a new song titled, Hate you to like me.

“I wrote a new song !!! Hate you to like me !!! No beef with anyone … just being a narcissist in a claimed, self-entitled way !!! It’s to accumulate interest by giving ego with my eyes closed because I hear important people do that these days.”

While the post’s comments were disabled, admirers were quick to point out on social media that the supposed song title is similar to Selena Gomez’s famous breakup ballad Lose You to Love Me.

“Is she shading Selena again?” one user wondered on Twitter.

“Britney Spears can’t enjoy her memoir and all the praise she’s getting,” another fan said. She simply had to find a way to disrespect Selena.”

The Gimme More singer, 41, has previously been accused of disparaging the Rare Beauty entrepreneur, 31, in October 2022, referencing Gomez’s 2016 statement in which she said she “[didn’t want to see [their] bodies” on Instagram.

They say ‘This is NOT something I would do’ yet those women are the very ones who get 4 million dollar budget videos made about sucking and licking on homemade ice cream !!!!” Spears made the comment while discussing Gomez’s Ice Cream music video with BLACKPINK.

“So the next time I see someone with a big budget video sucking on lollipops yet giving righteous speeches shaming other women for exposing their bodies, I would like to tell those people don’t be a hypocrite as you suck on your lollipop having HUGE budget dreams…”
