The 'Hold It Against Me' hitmaker, who acted as a judge on the second series of the Fox reality TV show alongside Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato and LA Reid, has decided not to return to the next season of the singing contest, reported TMZ.
"Britney loves Simon, she likes Demi Lovato but her thing is music," a source said.
Spears, 31, who was on a one-year USD 15 million contract, is currently in the studio working on her eighth studio album and after she completes the LP.
The mother-of-two is also considering going on tour again.
