Title Rebellion
Release date May 2012
Genre Dance-pop, soul-pop
Record label Jive
Britney's seventh LP offering 'Femme Fatale', made a huge statement and continued to prove the pop princess her rightful title. Working on her next offering was a journey while working on X-Factor, Britney realised that the album would not come for at least three years after 'Femme Fatale', and therefore decided to collate some of her unreleased projects together, creating a sound that many of the general public may not have heard from the princess herself. Focuses on a more R&B influenced mixtape, 'Rebellion' proves to the world that Britney can, in fact, sing, and very well too.

*Following her meeting with Don Philip, Britney decides to invite him to re-record the track in a style entirely dictated by the 90's heartthrob himself, as a tribute to their previous collaboration
**Rebellion had never been finalised and the writing was left hanging after five years, Britney decided not to finish the track and leave it presented in its most authentic form. The track features only one verse, one pre-chorus and one chorus.
***Original Mix, different from the remix featured on B In the Mix
****Hooked On was re-recorded and re-titled without Pharrell to create a more female-empowering track, a concept Britney wanted to further enforce in her following album
