With her mother, Britney Spears spent more time drinking. “I loved that I was able to drink with my mom every now and then,” the singer wrote. “The way we drank was nothing like how my father did it. When he drank, he grew more depressed and shut down. We became happier, more alive and adventurous,” the pop star shared. She had spent time in her hometown after the Mickey Mouse Club in 1995, before returning to the stage again.

The artist admitted to still having music in her blood and bones but was unable to express it. The memoir also talks of her father body shaming her, urging her to get back in shape and grow her hair out.
