Jamie Lynn Spears has changed the title of her forthcoming memoir after receiving backlash for using one of her sister Britney Spears' lyrics.
The former Nickelodeon actress, 31, had reportedly planned to call her memoirs I Must Confess as a nod to her pop star sister's song Baby One More Time.
But on Monday, Jamie Lynn revealed the new title and cover for the book, which she is calling Things I Should Have Said.
The original subtitle 'Family, Fame and Figuring It Out' also appears to have been removed from the book, which plans for a January 2022 release.

'I can’t believe I finally finished writing my book!!!' Jamie Lynn wrote her lengthy caption.
The How Could I Want More singer explained that she had been working on the book since 2017 following her daughter Maddie Brian Aldridge's near-fatal ATV accident.
Maddie was submerged underwater for several minutes after her ATV flipped over in a pond.
She was hospitalized for five days after being admitted in critical condition but the now 13-year-old made a full recovery. Spears also shares Ivey Joan Watson, three, with her husband Jamie Watson.
Spears continued, “THINGS I SHOULD HAVE SAID” has been in the works for quite a longggg time now. Back In 2017, after Maddie’s life changing accident, I felt a strong conviction to share my story, but there was a lot of personal work and healing that had to happen before I could share my truth the proper way.'
Tell-all: The 31-year-old former Nickelodeon star shared an Instagram post on Monday in which she revealed that she had completed writing her memoir titled Things I Should Have Said
Jamie Lynn went on to say that the book will address the pressure that she felt as a child actress after rising to fame when she starred in the hit Nickelodeon shows All That and Zoey 101.
She also revealed that she will be sharing details of her personal struggles with mental health.
'I’ve spent my whole life believing that I had to pretend to be perfect, even when I wasn’t, so for the first time I am opening up about my own mental health, because this process challenged me to have to be painfully honest with myself, and face a lot of hard things, that I normally would have just glossed right over, like I was taught to.'
'I owe it to myself, my younger self, and to my daughters to be an example that you should never edit yourself or your truth to please anyone else,' Spears continued.

'I know I still have ALOT of learning to do, but I feel like finishing this book gave me closure on this “30 year long” chapter of my life, and hopefully helps anyone else out there who forgot their worth, lost their voice, or is trying to break an unhealthy cycle in their life.'
