Britney Spears is showing appreciation for Justin Timberlake‘s new song.
While Spears’ 2011 song Selfish rose to the No. 1 on the US iTunes chart over the weekend, topping a new song of the same name from her former boyfriend Timberlake, Spears appears to want no part in the fan-fuelled ‘revenge’ competition.
On early Monday (overnight in Australia) on her private verified Instagram account, Spears, according to CNN, posted video clips of Timberlake recently performing his Selfish in a classroom instruments segment on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

“I wanna apologise for some of the things I wrote about in my book,” Spears wrote in the caption of her post.
“If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry… I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song Selfish.
“It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ??? Ps Sanctified is wow too.”

Claims from Spears regarding Timberlake in her memoir included an allegation she fell pregnant during their relationship, but Timberlake was allegedly “so sure that he didn’t want to be a father” and allegedly believed they were “way too young”.
Spears claimed she went on to have an abortion, something she wrote was one of the “most agonising things I have ever experienced in my life”.
She also claimed Timberlake ended their relationship with a two-word text.
CNN has reached out to representatives for Timberlake for comment on the post by Spears.
