Britney Spears' memoir will be much-awaited by her legions of adoring fans. It was a fan-led campaign, called #FreeBritney, that resulted in a renewed push to end her court-mandated and involuntary conservatorship and raised awareness about the issue. Under the conservatorship, which lasted from 2008 to 2021, her personal and financial affairs were controlled by her father Jamie Spears.

The conservatorship had been put in place due to her alleged mental health issues. She was freed of the conservatorship in November 2021 by a judge. The judge's decision came after a long legal battle initiated by Spears, who had publicly criticised the conservatorship in court hearings, claiming it was abusive, exploitative, and deprived her of her basic human rights.
The decision also allowed Spears to regain control over her finances, career, personal decisions, and medical treatment, which had previously been managed by her father and a team of court-appointed professionals.
