Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Britney is showing Justin's new song some love following its release.
Britney Spears is "deeply sorry" for some of the things she wrote in her bestselling memoir, 'The Woman In Me'.
The 'Princess of Pop' made the apology on her Instagram page alongside a video of Justin Timberlake. The clip was taken during Justin's recent appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' alongside Jimmy Fallon.
Britney's apology comes a few days after her fans decided to teach Justin a lesson following the release of his new single, Selfish'.
They took to music platforms to stream Britney's song, 'Selfish', to make it rank higher on the charts than Justin's song of the same name.
Britney's version of 'Selfish' was featured on the deluxe edition of her 2011 album, 'Femme Fatale'.
