Blackout (Britney Spears album)

Blackout is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Britney Spears. It was released on October 25, 2007, by JIVE Records and the Zomba Label Group. Opting to re-establish her music career after her fourth studio album, In the Zone (2003), she began planning the project in 2006. Work continued into 2007, during which time Spears' much-publicized personal struggles, including several instances of erratic behavior and her divorce from Kevin Federline, overshadowed her professional endeavors.
