1. "Make Me"
Released: July 15, 2016
2. "Slumber Party"
Released: November 16, 2016

Glory is the ninth studio album by American singer Britney Spears, released on August 26, 2016, through RCA Records. After renewing her contract with RCA, Spears began work on the album in 2014. Lacking a deadline for completion, she continued work into 2015 and 2016, which, according to Spears, provided her with the opportunity to create one of her favorite albums in her catalog. Primarily a pop record, it also contains elements of R&B, EDM, and hip hop music.

Glory received positive reviews. Music critics praised the album's production, Spears's vocal performance on the album and cited it among her best records. It was included on year-end lists of best albums by several publications. Though underperforming commercially compared to Spears's other albums, Glory debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, becoming her ninth consecutive top five album in the United States. It topped the charts in the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, and also peaked within the top five of charts in another 20 countries.

"Make Me" was released as the lead single for the record on July 15, 2016. The single debuted and peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Slumber Party" was released as the second single on November 16, 2016, and peaked at number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Glory was further promoted with three promotional singles—"Private Show", "Clumsy", and "Do You Wanna Come Over?", which premiered in the weeks prior to the album's debut.[1][2][3][4] Spears promoted the album with television appearances and televised performances, including the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.[5]

Glory was reissued twice in 2020; the standard edition reissue was released on May 29, and the deluxe edition reissue was released on December 4.[6][7] "Mood Ring (By Demand)" was released as the album's third single on July 10, 2020, almost four years after the album's original release; "Swimming in the Stars" was released as the fourth single on December 2, 2020; "Matches" was released as the fifth and final single on December 18, 2020.

## Recording and production[edit]

> "'Pretty Girls' wasn't original. Britney wanted to do things that were fresh and unexpected this time. There was never a moment where she was given a song, and anybody said, 'This is a hit. You have to sing it'. Britney pursued the songs she wanted to do for herself. She came up with concepts and melodies. It's her baby. It's like being an athlete. If you're doing it that much, you're getting yourself into shape. She was always ready to work during the album sessions, and it was very important to her to be done by a certain time so she could pick up her boys from school."

— Executive producer Karen Kwak describing the recording process of Glory.[8]

In August 2014, Spears announced she had renewed her contract with RCA Records, and that she was writing and recording new music. The recording process for the album took two and a half years and "30–40" songs were recorded for the record.[9] Six months into the recording of the album, Spears was dissatisfied with the results. Karen Kwak was then brought onto the record as executive producer following the release of "Pretty Girls" and helped Spears find "the most fun people to write with".[10] Kwak wanted to recall the sounds of Spears's albums Blackout (2007) and In the Zone (2003) for Glory, and chose producers based on this.[11] Kwak said of the album: "Britney pursued the songs she wanted to do for herself. She came up with concepts and melodies. It's her baby."[8] In an interview with Billboard in March 2015, Spears said that she was working on a new album "slowly but surely."

In April 2015, Matthew Koma confirmed he had worked on material for the record, none of which made the final cut.[12] In June 2015, Spears was pictured working with Sam Bruno, however, none of this material ended up on the record.[13] In July 2015, Spears was pictured working with writers Chantal Kreviazuk and Simon Wilcox alongside producer Ian Kirkpatrick; in that same month, DJ Mustard announced that he was working on the album, later revealed to be "Mood Ring" which was recorded the previous month.[14] Spears was also pictured working with producer Alex da Kid in July 2015, however, his contributions did not make the cut for the album.[15] In October 2015, Spears was pictured working in the studio with Burns and Mischke Butler.[16] Later that month, Spears teased the title for "Just Luv Me".[17] In November 2015, Spears was pictured working in the studio with Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels.[18]

In March 2016, Spears said that she was "being more hands-on" with the album and that it is "the best thing I've done in a long time," though she noted that she did not know when the album would be finished and that she was "not rushing anything [...] so that my fans will truly appreciate it."[19][20][21] The final track recorded for the album was "Love Me Down".[11] On Most Requested Live with Romeo, Spears revealed that it was her son who chose the title of the album.[22][23]

## Music and lyrics[edit]

Since the beginning of the album's recording process, Spears insisted that she wanted to do something different with the project and take a "left turn." During a Tumblr Q&A with fans in July 2016, when asked about the style of the album, Spears responded with "I'll just say this... We really explored some new things."[24][25] On August 5, she revealed in a phone-in radio interview on the segment On Air with Ryan Seacrest that the album "took a lot of time, but I think we brought it to a level where I was really, really happy with what I had; it's cool, it's really different [...] there are like two or three songs that go in the direction of more urban that I've wanted to do for a long time now, and I just haven't really done that."[26]

Glory is primarily a pop, R&B, and dance-pop record with influences of EDM and hip hop.[27][28]

On August 24, Spears was interviewed on BBC's Scott Mills.[36] On August 25, Spears appeared on the "Carpool Karaoke" segment on The Late Late Show with James Corden where she sang along to "Make Me", "Oops!...

Glory received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, the album received an average score of 71, indicating "generally positive reviews", based on fourteen reviews.[57] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine rated the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, and called the album's sound "daring and mature", but criticized "Private Show", calling it "the album's only bona-fide misfire."[28] In a positive review, Maura Johnston from The Boston Globe described the album as one with "an unbridled energy" that "operates on its own terms."[58] Neil McCormick from The Daily Telegraph praised the production on the album, and noted that "every track sounds like a single".[59] In a mixed review of the album, Jon Parales from The New York Times claimed that the album was "one-dimensional", but noted her as sounding like she "has emphatically returned to the foreground."[63] Mesfin Fekadu from Associated Press noted Spears "has taken note and jumped on the bandwagon [of R&B]" but claimed that the songs were not "authentically Britney."[66] In contrast, Nolan Feeney from Entertainment Weekly characterized the songs on the album as sounding "like glimpses of the real Britney—her musical tastes, her voice—imperfections and all."[60]

In particular, Spears's vocals were generally praised. The Los Angeles Times described the vocals as a "vast improvement" over those on Britney Jean, remarking that "the very performed nature of the singing [...] makes Glory such a good time."[61] The Boston Globe remarked that Spears was "throwing herself fully into her vocal performance" on the album and The New York Times described Spears as sounding "more involved, more present, than she has in a decade."[58][63] Rolling Stone positively compared Spears's vocals to those on In the Zone, noting "she hasn't played around with her vocals so cleverly since the "Toxic" days."[64] Entertainment Weekly described the album as "her most engaging vocally" in a decade and noted Spears as sounding "more present and enthusiastic than she has in years."[60] In a similar sentiment, Idolator described Spears as sounding "more lucid, engaged and front-and-center than she's been in years."[67] Slant Magazine credited Spears with a "willingness to stretch vocally and explore new sonic terrain", but also remarked that at times, this "highlight[s] her shortcomings".[28]

Released: December 2, 2020
3. "Matches"
Released: December 18, 2020

Glory was reissued twice in 2020. The standard edition was reissued first, and was surprise released on May 29 via music streaming services. This reissue added the previously Japan-exclusive track "Mood Ring (By Demand)", as well as a new cover artwork.[93] The deluxe edition received a reissue on December 4, and added the new songs "Swimming in the Stars" and "Matches"—the latter being a collaboration with the Backstreet Boys—alongside remixes of "Mood Ring".[7] The deluxe reissue also restores the original solo version of "Slumber Party" and the original album track order.

The reissues were in response to the original version of Glory receiving a resurgence in popularity in May 2020, following a fan-led social media campaign, which led it to chart at number one on the US iTunes album chart.[93] Spears acknowledged the fan campaign via an Instagram video message, and unveiled a new cover artwork for the standard reissue. This revised cover features Spears laying in the middle of a desert wearing a gold bathing suit, and was photographed by David LaChappelle.[94][95]
