Amanda Bynes is stepping back into the creative spotlight, revealing that she is once again recording music — a notable development for the former child star, who has largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years.
According to a recent update via TikTok, Bynes revealed she’s stepping back into the recording studio by working on new material.
Bynes gave the update for her car. “What’s up everybody. I wanted to make a quick post,” she began.
The 39-year-old said she would be going into the studio the following day to record her new song “Girlfriend.”
“I’m so excited about it honestly,” Bynes added. She said she would be rapping the lyrics.
She said they didn’t have a melody completed at this time, but she can’t wait to see what they come up with.
This marks her first known music project in years.
While details about the song itself remain limited, the update signals a renewed interest in creative expression and a return to an outlet that allows her to explore her artistic side beyond acting.
Bynes, who rose to fame through Nickelodeon’s “All That” and “The Amanda Show” before transitioning into film roles such as “She’s the Man” and “Hairspray,” has kept a low profile since stepping away from acting.
Her decision to record music represents a personal milestone rather than a formal comeback, emphasizing creativity and self-expression over public performance.
Fans Can’t Get Enough
Fans of Bynes were thrilled to hear Bynes’ surprising announcement.
“Glad you’re back, Amanda,” one user wrote.
Another added, “Amanda Bynes dropping THEE banger of 2026 was not on my bing card, but I still have time to add it right? I can’t wait to hear.”
So many expressed their excitement for the former child star’s new creative outlet.
Someone else wrote, “It’ll be great Amanda! So excited to see what you create!
“We love you!!!” a different fan added. “Thank you for being apart of our childhood! We support you.”
