Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠
You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and @Pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?
You can pre-order now exclusively at https://t.co/NoneI6kxdH and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
WALK OF FAME ⭐️
Surrounded by my fans, who I owe it all to & Donatella Versace in Versace of course (same) and @anyataylorjoy in archival Bob Mackie looking like heaven. Days don’t get much better than this. Thank you to my team at Crush Music, FANMADE, Olivia Rudensky, CAA, @ColumbiaRecords, my momager @tishcyrus, and Bill Sobel. To everyone I know and love my friends, my family, my love thank you so much. I adore you. ❤️
The premiere of the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special.
Standing with Jason, Moises, Cody, Ana Maria, and Shanica the cast I grew up with was a full-circle moment I'll never forget. We found our way back home, and it felt so good. Thank you for growing up with us. We love you. This special is from me to younger you.
Celebrating Hannah Montana isn’t just honoring a show it’s a full-circle moment for me. HM was the beginning of the life I know now. The bond my fans and I share is as rare and beautiful as this whole journey has been.
I adore you all and love you deeply. This anniversary special is a gift from me to younger you, my way of saying thank you for your loyalty and for growing with me every step of the way.
This song says it all…
“Younger You (from The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special)” out Friday.
