So, follow the song writers and composers of her music. You can't because they are a moving target; they change over time.
Outside of that suggestion, "her" music is not good. It's overproduced, bad-quality pop tripe. At least listen to quality pop music.

In that case, I'd like to credit the assembly of songwriters who came together to produce this catchy EDM song:
1) will.i.am – songwriter, executive producer, producer, vocal producer
2) Otto Knows – songwriter, producer, instrumentation, programming, recording, engineer
3) Sebastian Ingrosso – songwriter, producer, instrumentation, programming, recording, engineer
4) Anthony Preston – songwriter, vocal producer, backing vocals
5) Ruth-Anne Cunningham – songwriter
6) Britney Spears – lead and backing vocals, songwriter
Myah Marie – backing vocals
Joe Peluso – mixer
Julian Prindle – vocal recording, vocal engineer
Jacob Dennis – assistant vocal engineer
Chris Kahn – assistant vocal engineer
An impressive 6 people wrote this song. Britney Britney probably spent a couple of seconds looking it over just so she could have the "songwriter" credit.

We still getting shocked over auto-tune and the realization that singers don't write every word of their songs and play every single instrument on the track? Really?

Opinions, opinions!
Some people like to get their gym motivation from Britney telling them you better work if you want a hot body or to look hot in a bikini right before a beat drop.
You're allowed to like a variety of things, never get why people want to hate and dictate.
why does someone working with different people disqualify them as artists. what is the obsession some music fans have with artists being lone stallions tumbling through the vacuum of their own ass.
fair enough if you don't like highly produced music, but that doesn't disqualify the entire art form just because it's not your personal flavor.
and again, whether the music is "hers" or not has absolutely no bearing on the actual quality of it. the sound is not changed by the name on the cover.

Ok, so after my 5 minute long lol moment I just had....
... Wait.... I didn't know Britney had a backup singer tho. This subtle revelation...
IIf that's the case then, is her backup singer just about the same in vocal delivery then? Because if so, well, then I can't fully blame her for not really trying in this song.

Is the autotune used out of necessity or just an accent?
I can't tell anymore. What is music? What is life?

Oopss she did it again. 
Britney looks and sounds like a walking sack of potatoes these days. She needs to retire.

They play the radio version of this at work and it's awful. It just says "You better work work" over and over again. So awful

*gasp* It was her the whole time?!
You chose the worst example to highlight someone who "composes" their own music.

Quite a bit, yes. And no musicality to her vocalizing prior to the 1 minute mark. She's basically just talking into a microphone with a very vague rhythm that only kind of works when there's backup singers and robot effects out the ass in the original mix.

I didn't know Britney Spears was Jhene Aiko.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Some people do all that and more and still make better music. I'm surprised just the thought of that doesn't make more manufactured stars blow their brains out.
The Verge picked up the story on her leaked non auto tuned vocals.
The producer claimed it's just her warming up. Right.

mess, he goes on at length about it, too
tbh it's not her lack of singing ability or the excuses from a faded producer, it's just that it adds another car to the giant flaming wreckage that has been her music career for the past several years
...this leak is still approx. 8.3 million times more listenable than anything gaga has done in her entire life though

Song is tolerable if used correctly:

Certainly a positive for her in 2k13.

The main vocals version of Work Bitch is much, MUCH better than the non-autotune version of Alien.
She was ridiculously offkey most of the time and had some cringe-worthy, pathetic attempts at hitting some of the notes. Makes you wonder how well she can actually sing.
http://youtu.be/u2uqcQDmy9w?t=2m41s
It sounds like a bad joke, but it's not. It's relatively easy to pick up the mic of someone, anybody in the audience could've recorded this actually. So I doubt it's fake lol
Edit: Also, it does indeed sound like the raw Alien leak lol
