By 2004, Britney Spears had released four studio albums, per AllMusic. In December 2004, the singer was ready for the world to hear her new music and wanted the KIIS-FM offices in Burbank, California to play an unreleased song titled “Mona Lisa,” according to Buzzfeed.
The host Jesse Lozano — who was filling in for the regular host who was on vacation — was informed that Spears was on the phone and wanted her song played; naturally, he thought it was a prank. However, before he knew it, the pop megastar pulled up to the station’s Burbank studio with a bodyguard and asked if he would play the CD she brought with her. During their mini chat, Spears revealed her next album was going to be titled “Original Doll” and that it was halfway done. When questioned whether it would be out that summer, Spears insisted, “Maybe a little bit earlier.”
“Mona Lisa” was never serviced to radio, and the album “Original Doll” was never released. “No album is scheduled at the moment,” a representative at her label, Jive Records, said at the time, per NBC News. “Britney is in the studio working on some material.” Ultimately, fans of Spears wouldn’t have a new album from Spears for another three years.
In 2007, she released the fan-favorite “Blackout” album which was supposedly a completely different record from “Original Doll.” However, the track “Mona Lisa” was included on the “Britney & Kevin: Chaotic” bonus disc in 2005.
