Britney Spears gave the UK’s Capital FM Breakfast Show hosts an exclusive scoop Monday regarding the name of her 8th studio album.

The pop princess , 31, smiled and softly whispered the title … ‘Britney Jean.’

She explained, “It’s a personal album. And all my family, they always call me Britney Jean. It’s a term of endearment and I just wanted to share that with my fans!”

Her new album, produced by will.i.am, drops on December 3 on RCA Records. This is her first album release on this label after breaking ties with Jive Records in 2012. The lead single ‘Work B*tch’ was released on Sept. 17.

Spears teased two other songs: a ballad ‘Perfume’ that she described as “really beautiful,” and a “really cool” single titled ‘Aliens.’

During the radio interview, Spears nervously wound her headphone cord in a circular motion and then rubbed one arm as if she was trying to get rid of a deep itch.

She tweeted this morning, “Cat’s out of the bag people… #BritneyJean!!! Bringing ALL of me to the music… DECEMBER 3.”
