Britney Spears tweeted a cryptic message early this morning that has many wondering whether her long-awaited ninth studio album will drop suddenly before the new year.

Britney has been in and out of the recording studio for months, working with major songwriters and producers including Sam Bruno, Chantal Kreviazuk, Ian Kirkpatrick, and Simon Wilcox.

With that, allow me to lay out the two most exciting parts of the tweet above:

1. Britney using the hashtag #B9 is MAJOR, since it was created by the Britney Army and, until now, hasn't been acknowledged by team Britney. The fact that she's using it means she's a) heard your prayers and b) is getting ready to bless us with a new album very soon.

2. The tweet's three capitalized words — JUST LOVE ME — have us wondering, is Just Love Me the next single we'll get out of Britney?

Give us a release date, Queen!
