16 October 2023, 18:02 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Earlier this year, Britney Spears announced her debut memoir The Woman in Me. It has now been revealed that actress Michelle Williams will be narrating the forthcoming audiobook.

Promising to reveal “for the first time her incredible journey (and) strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history,” according to a press release from Gallery Books, the memoir is said to put a spotlight on the “enduring power of music and love and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms.”

Speaking to PEOPLE, Spears revealed that she will not be taking part in the entire audiobook. Instead, award-winning actress Michelle Williams will take on the role as narrator. "This book has been a labor of love and all the emotions that come with it. Reliving everything has been exciting, heart-wrenching, and emotional, to say the least. For those reasons, I will only be reading a small part of my audiobook.”

Last year, Spears collaborated with Elton John on “Hold Me Closer" – a reimagined duet of his classic “Tiny Dancer", which was among a string of singles including the Dua Lipa collaboration, "Cold Heart", and Rina Sawayama's "Chosen Family". The track was Spears' first release in six years

She has since collaborated with will.i.am on "Mind Your Business" as their second release following 2013's “Scream & Shout", and she recently mentioned that she wants to collaborate with Jay-Z on Beyoncé's track "Daddy Lessons" which features on her Lemonade album.

The Woman in Me is set for release on 24 October, and is available to pre-order.
