Glory is the ninth studio album by American singer Britney Spears, released on August 26, 2016, through RCA Records. Developed over a two-and-a-half-year recording period following the release of Britney Jean, the album marked a shift toward a more artist-driven process, with Spears taking a more active role in selecting material, shaping concepts, and contributing melodies. Dissatisfied with early sessions, she enlisted executive producer Karen Kwak, after which the project was reoriented toward a sound that recalled elements of her earlier work while prioritizing creative freedom and personal interest. Glory is mainly rooted in dance-pop with prominent R&B and hip hop influences, as it moves away from the overt EDM approach of her previous album. Its production emphasizes lighter, nocturnal textures and places greater focus on Spears' vocals. Lyrically, the album is heavily centered on sexuality, as it frequently addresses the listener and depicts intimate scenarios across its tracklist. The songs explore a range of pop styles, including electro-pop, disco, soul, reggae-inspired rhythms, and Latin and Southern influences.
