Aly Michalka reflected on being considered for the Hannah Montana role, citing that she felt it would confuse her musical identity. "I just remember reading it and being like, Wait. But I'm doing music as Aly, and this might be really confusing being Hannah, and being the character also playing Hannah." This concern for her artistic direction weighed heavily on her decision as she prioritized her established music career with AJ.
AJ agreed with Aly's sentiments, sharing that they had carved their unique niche on Disney Channel, having their music prominently featured. "We had aired a lot on Disney Channel." Their focus shifted to continuing to produce music together instead of navigating a dual role in a major television show, which they felt might dilute their brand.
