Britney Spears has recently been the subject of a widely-followed legal battle, as fans rally around her.
And the Grammy Award winner is finding solace in thoughts of simpler times, when she was a beloved budding pop star of the ’90s.
She sang her heart out in a throwback video she posted Friday to Instagram, as her mother Lynne encouraged her to get back into singing, amid her ‘indefinite work hiatus.’

The 39-year-old wrote: ‘Geez … My mom sent this to me and reminded me that I can sing !!!! She said “You never sing anymore … you need to again !!!!”
‘I’ve actually never watched this performance … it’s definitely from a while ago !!!! It’s from one of the first trips I took alone … mostly I just remember saying “WOW Singapore” !!!!!’
She wore a black satin slip dress in the clip, as she sang her cover of The Jets’ You Got It All, which appeared on some international versions of her second studio album Oops!… I Did It Again.
It comes amid her ongoing conservatorship battle, after father Jamie Spears, 68, was reinstated last month as her co-conservator, given equal power with wealth management firm Bessemer Trust Company.

Jamie was named his daughter’s co-conservator in 2008, giving him medical and financial control of her estate, and back in December, the conservatorship was extended to September 3, 2021.
Jodi served as Britney’s temporary conservator back in 2019, when Jamie stepped down after suffering a near-fatal colon rupture.
At the time, she cancelled her planned second Las Vegas residency Britney: Domination, and she announced an ‘indefinite work hiatus.’
Britney’s conservatorship was recently explored in the explosive Hulu documentary The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears.

It will also be the subject of a BBC Two documentary from BAFTA-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar, which premieres later this spring, as well as a Netflix true crime documentary from Erin Lee Carr.
The Toxic artist has reportedly considered telling her own side of the story, following Oprah Winfrey’s groundbreaking interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
A source told ET Online: ‘Britney has considered speaking out about her past, mostly because she doesn’t feel others should tell her story. She’s always hated doing interviews but if she ever takes that step, Oprah would most likely be her first choice.
‘At this point, there is no plan in the works for her to do an interview but when she does, there will be steps Britney would need to take before speaking out.’
