This is a list of producers that Britney Spears
has worked with,
A list of unreleased and leaked tracks is also listed.
This information has been compiled from various sources over the years and is accurate.
- PART 2 -
P. Diddy
Britney recorded three tracks with P. Diddy in summer 2003, the only one released is "The Answer." He had confirmed that he rapped on one of the tracks. It was rumored that one of the tracks he produced would sample a hit song from one of the artists on his record label from the nineties (possibly a Notorious B.I.G. song), but this was never confirmed. Source currently unavailable.
"Diddy declined to give song titles, since the tracks aren't finished and the album isn't due until November."
- September 2003

Outkast
Outkast were commissioned to remix
Britney's "Me Against The Music.
"As her forthcoming In the Zone (formerly Get in the Zone) nears completion, the pop star is working her booty overtime, already mapping out plans for remixes galore of her first single, "Me Against the Music," featuring Madonna. The RedZone-produced track has been sent to several producers, including Outkast." September 2003 Source
Big Boi of Outkast had stated in a 2004 interview with AOL Music that he had attempted to remix the song, but he "couldn't work with it."

Basement Jaxx
Basement Jaxx were also asked
to remix "Me Against The Music."
It's also been rumored, but never confirmed,
that they were asked to work with Britney on "In The Zone."
"We were asked to remix the last Madonna and Britney record, but they said we couldn't hear the track. They said, 'Do you want to do Madonna?' We asked, 'Well, what does it sound like?' They said 'It's the new Madonna single' as if that was enough. We didn't have much time, and they did eventually send a thing of it, but it was all far too late."
- October 2003

Scissor Sisters
In 2004, the Scissor Sisters were asked to remix Britney's "Toxic."
They refused at first, but later agreed to.
However, group member Baby Daddy later said
they couldn't do this because of timing issues.
RS: Good answer. I heard you've been approached to remix many big projects but have turned them down.
Why would you like choose to remix someone like Pet Shop Boys
as opposed to Britney Spears?
Baby Daddy: I wouldn't mind mixing Britney Spears, I think "Toxic" is amazing.
It's a timing issue as we don't have all the time in the world. There are a few obligations but there are few people in our mind that we would make the time for.

RedZone
Britney had recorded three or possibly more tracks with RedZone. Only two produced by them were released ("Me Against The Music" and "The Hook Up"). It's possible that the third song they recorded with Britney is the leaked track "Sippin On'"/"What You Sippin' On" (featuring AC).

"Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and Penelope Magnet knew they were on to something when Britney Spears' handlers took interest in what was only the third song the duo had written and produced together."
- October 2003

The collective known as RedZone had only one problem. "She told us the song sucked," Stewart said, laughing. "Evidently RedZone's confidence was not hurt by Britney's initial rejection. "It was a song called 'Pop Culture Whore,' so I can see why she would hate it," Magnet said, laughing. Getting a chance to hang out with and talk to her and get in her world made it a lot easier to actually write and know what she would and wouldn't say, to know where her real vibe is," Magnet said.
"We knew first we needed some energy," Stewart added. Tricky, best known for co-writing and co-producing B2K's "Uh Huh," came up with the track, while Magnet came up with the melody on a piano and wrote the lyrics. Source

Peaches
She was asked to write a track for "In The Zone," although she declined because she felt what she wrote would be censored by Britney's record label.
"Britney Spears asked her to do some songwriting for her next record, but Peaches passed on the offer that many would have killed for. "I thought, 'What can I write for her that they're not gonna water down?'" she explains."
- August 2003
Well what about turning down Britney?
"Well I just didn’t understand how anything I write for Britney Spears could actually work for her a) on her album and b) without getting censored so I didn’t really see the point of writing for someone else in those circumstances."
- January 2004

Robyn Carlsson
In an interview with Expressen.se in August 2003, Robyn said she was writing for Britney. She also said they hadn't met, but talked on the phone with each other about the song.
"I've written for her before but it only got to the recording stages."
- Interview in October 2007, although she was referring to 2003.
