Hilary Duff doesn’t remember making one of her most well-known songs.
During a Wednesday, Nov. 5 interview with Jake Shane on Therapuss, the actress and singer revealed that she had no recollection of recording The Lizzie McGuire Movie song “What Dreams Are Made of.”
Shane, 26, mentioned he had watched The Lizzie McGuire Movie over the weekend and recalled his experience of watching Duff, 38, perform “What Dreams Are Made of.”

“I was like, this song is actually poetic,” he said, noting he was “also really high but it was fantastic.”
Shane then asked Duff if she thought “Holy s—, this song is amazing.”
“No…very much, no. Absolutely not,” the How I Met Your Father star replied.
“I don’t even remember recording that song,” said Duff. “But I will say now I love it. And when I was filming the movie, I loved it. It was just — it was a weird time.”

The “Come Clean” hitmaker noted that “it wasn’t technically my song.”
“It was a Lizzie McGuire song,” said Duff, who said she was 14 years old at the time.
While she noted that there were “some very big moments [that] stand out,” many of her memories were blurry.

“Some of the like, being in Italy for Lizzie McGuire, but then the rest of it filmed in Vancouver. I could barely remember any of that stuff,” said Duff.
When Shane asked if the “Why Not” singer didn’t think it “represented” her, she revealed she felt like her on-screen persona.
“Actually, when I sing it now, I feel a lot of joy. I just think that there was such a separation back then of me and my music and Lizzie McGuire,” said Duff.
Because she didn’t own the song, Duff claimed she “didn’t really get to perform that song live” at the time.
The Lizzie McGuire Movie — a 90-minute rom-com that made $55 million at the box office — was released in 2003. The film followed Duff’s character McGuire as she headed to Rome with friends, where she was mistaken for a pop star.
“What Dreams Are Made of” was released the same year and was featured on the film’s soundtrack.
Duff is set to release her first new music in 10 years on Nov. 6 with her single “Mature.”
