It has been warned that, between her father's conservatorship and her overall well-being, Britney Spears might never perform again. That would be tragic if true, but we of course want whatever is best for Britney. That said ... rumor has it that she's planning to return to the music world with an impossible-to-miss single that's dropping very soon.

We have to stress that this does not come from Britney Spears herself. We don't even know whether this rumor was started by her team as a marketing strategy ... or if there's just some bad apple trying to get people's hopes up. But the rumor is that Britney is planning a comeback and that she's going to drop an epic single. "Britney is back and she wants to be heard," an unconfirmed tip that we received claims. If this iteration of the rumor is true, we'll know soon enough and this could be extremely exciting for millions of Britney fans.

Britney is an incredible singer, but her comeback singles are always, always the strongest. Think about the power and impact of songs like "Womanizer" and "Work Bitch." If history is any indication, "My Own Way" will be a smash hit.

This would also be welcome news as an indicator that Britney is feeling like herself and eager to keep performing. We know that Britney is not -- and will never be -- hurting for cash, so this isn't about needing a new source of income. This is about Britney feeling well enough to do what she loves -- bringing joy to millions through music. It's about her freedom of expression through her career. Setting aside selfish reasons like our desire to hear another bop from the Queen of Pop, we would love this sign that she's really, truly okay.
