Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez are gearing up for an exciting musical release on August 25. Both former Disney Channel stars, known for "Hannah Montana" and "Wizards of Waverly Place," are stepping into new phases of their careers with upcoming singles.

Their announcement on August 17 sparked excitement among fans. Gomez's "Single Soon" offers a taste of her fourth studio album, while Cyrus's "Used to Be Young" will come with a special Backyard Sessions episode and an in-depth interview.

Instead of setting them against each other, fans, including myself, are celebrating both artists and reminiscing about their unique journeys. After their Disney days, Cyrus faced criticism for her self-expression, and Gomez dealt with health issues and public scrutiny of her relationships.

Against all odds, they pushed forward. Now in their 30s, Cyrus and Gomez are thriving, not just surviving. Cyrus's "Endless Summer Vacation" album and Gomez's successful Rare Beauty line showcase their accomplishments. They're starring in TV shows, setting records, and venturing into new territories.

This year, other Disney Channel alumni like Demi Lovato, the Jonas Brothers, and Dove Cameron have also been making waves. Their triumphs contrast with those who struggled under the pressures of early stardom.

On August 18, Cyrus and Gomez playfully nodded to their past feud on social media, possibly hinting at a collaboration. Could their Disney Channel reunion become a reality? It's a dream that would surely excite our inner child.
