Britney Spears' record label is banking alot on the poptart's comeback album, and they have now pulled out the big guns in the form of Ne-Yo to write songs.

The Grammy nominated Ne-Yo has written songs for Rihanna, is writing songs for Whitney Houston's comeback, and is responsible for penning Beyoncé's 'Irreplaceable', which has spent 9 weeks at number one in the US.

Ne-Yo has yet to meet Brit, but has been working closely with her A+R people, and has finished about 6 songs so far. He says the one rule the record label gave him was: No songs about Britney's ex, Kevin Federline.

He also said that he was hopeful for her comeback to be successful. "If I had to make a prediction, judging not just the stuff I've done, but the stuff I've heard she's done with other people, I think she's got a shot to come back. I really do."
