Glory is the ninth studio album by American singer Britney Spears, released on August 26, 2016, through RCA Records. After renewing her contract with RCA, Spears began work on the album in 2014. Lacking a deadline for completion, she continued work into 2015 and 2016, which, according to Spears, provided her with the opportunity to create one of her favorite albums in her catalog. Primarily a pop record, it also contains elements of R&B, EDM, and hip hop music.

Glory received positive reviews. Music critics praised the album's production, Spears's vocal performance on the album and ranked it among her best records. It was included on year-end lists of best albums by several publications. While not as commercially successful as Spears's previous albums, Glory topped the album charts in the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, and South Korea while peaking within the top five within Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

"Make Me" was released as the lead single for the record on July 15, 2016. The single debuted and peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Slumber Party" was released as the second single on November 17, 2016, and peaked at number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Glory was further promoted with three promotional singles—"Private Show", "Clumsy", and "Do You Wanna Come Over?", which premiered in the weeks prior to the album's debut. Spears promoted the album with television appearances and televised performances, including the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.

Glory was reissued twice in 2020; the standard edition reissue was released on May 29, and the deluxe edition reissue was released on December 4. "Mood Ring (By Demand)" was released as the album's third single on July 10, 2020, almost four years after the album's original release; "Swimming in the Stars" was released as the fourth single on December 2, 2020; "Matches" was released as the fifth and final single on December 18, 2020.
