Britney’s first single “The Free”
Spears celebrates a musical comeback. This is her first music release since her 13-year guardianship ended last fall. At that time, many of her fans also protested against their idol under the hashtag #freebritney.
The singer has been under guardianship since 2008 after she broke down mentally due to personal and professional issues. A California court granted her full control of her life back in 2021.
