Enthusiastic fans are eagerly anticipating a unique musical convergence as Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus prepare to release their latest tracks simultaneously.
The former Disney Channel stars are setting the stage for excitement by sharing a nostalgic clip from their shared time on the iconic show “Hannah Montana.”
This memorable scene features Miley Cyrus as her alter ego Hannah Montana and Selena Gomez as Mikayla Skeech, her musical rival and frenemy. The duo engages in a playful exchange over the phone, taking lighthearted jabs at each other.
In the scene, Hannah answers a call for a charity donation only to realize that it’s Mikayla on the line, offering her singing lessons. The two engage in banter about their upcoming songs, creating a humorous and entertaining dynamic.
While their on-screen personas clash, the off-screen camaraderie between Gomez and Cyrus is evident. Both artists took to their Instagram stories on August 18 to promote each other’s upcoming releases, cleverly incorporating their song titles.
Gomez shared the throwback clip on her Instagram story with the caption, “@Mileycyrus and I both have a SINGLE SOON and we are releasing on the same day. We have been friends since we USED TO BE YOUNG. Excited for August 25!!!”
Cyrus reciprocated the sentiment, re-sharing the same clip on her own story with the words, “@selenagomez and I are both dropping our new SINGLEs SOON…. I say we #USEDTOBEYOUNG.”
This connection dates back to their origins as Cyrus starred as the titular character in “Hannah Montana” from 2006 to 2011, while Gomez led her own show, “Wizards of Waverly Place,” from 2007 to 2012.
Cyrus recently released her eighth studio album, “Endless Summer Vacation,” earlier this year, featuring hits like “Flowers” and “River.” This new single will mark her first release since “Jaded,” which came out in April.
On Gomez’s side, she has been actively pursuing her acting career, with the third season of her Hulu series, “Only Murders in The Building,” recently premiering. This upcoming single will be her first fresh musical endeavor since her Spanish-language EP “Revelación” dropped in 2021.
In an August 17 personal note, Gomez shared her excitement for the release, stating, “Y’all have been asking for new music for a while. Since I’m not quite done with SG3, I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer.”
