Aly was also wrapping up her time on the criminally underrated Disney seriesPhil of the Future.
Now 29 and 31, the sisters have refocused on music.
Youd been doing the explicit version of Potential Breakup Song live for years.
We werent planning it.
We just found it so funny that people were so hyped over it.
We were like, Were gonna play it again!
and then people would go crazy.
I dont think we did all of the changes.
I just said, My fucking birthday.
AJ:Yeah, it would have only been that line.
Aly:But obviously, TikTok brought this song back from the dead, which is wild.
We really have TikTok to thank,and a bunch of moms.
He kind of inspired that.
Aly: Thats right.
He was like, I know yall have said fuck.
When this song came out 14 years ago, you were teenagers.
TikTok definitely gave Potential Breakup Song its full reawakening.
Do you have a favorite version?AJ:Oh, thats so hard.
He used that with the new explicit version, and its really funny.
AJ:Thats literally my favorite one out of the new version.
Aly:Yeah, AJ freaked and sent it to me.
There wasa guy that dressed up as all of the momsand had wigs and everything.
I thought that was brilliant.
AJ:I always comment on the ones that are all male-driven.
I just think its funny to see a group of guys singing this song.
And then another one is in thelocker room with the Orioles.
I thought that one was funny, too.
Aly:And thenGordon Ramsay with his daughter I thought that was really funny.
Its such a dad vibe, I loved it.
Youve been putting all this work toward your return to music in quarantine in the middle of a pandemic.
We create art together in a very quarantined small production office, which ends up being Alys home.
And thats how we created Joan of Arc on the Dance Floor and put out theWe Dont Stopcompilation.
Youre so limited that it ends up bringing out something really cool.
Honestly, this record is so fun to listen to.
Aly:I also feel like this record feels like a West Coast album.
Its gonna feel so natural.
They were made in a very simple, straight-up way.
Those records arent really made anymore that way.
I think thats what we brought back into our music.
AJ:Well said.
You two recently made a TikTok re-creating one of the scenes from your 2006Disney Channel Original MovieCowbelles.
Aly: We can show our future kids.
Theyll get a crack-up out of it.
AJ: Im sure theyll make fun of us and have plenty to say.
