The Disney Channel series "Hannah Montana," which debuted in 2006, followed the life of teenager Miley Stewart as she tried to manage her everyday life while also secretly moonlighting as international pop superstar Hannah Montana.

The show, which wrapped in 2011, made a household name out of Miley Cyrus, who played the title role; reinvigorated the career of her country-star father, Billy Ray Cyrus; and helped launch the careers of several other young actors.

In the 12 years since the program's conclusion, stars of the show have gone on to have varying levels of fame, with some leading more quiet lives than others.

Cyrus has most notably garnered fame post-"Hannah Montana" through her successful music career. The Tennessee native has had five No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart and has received two Grammy nominations. Cyrus' most recent track to reach the top of the charts was her post-breakup anthem "Flowers," which dropped earlier this year.

The "We Can't inspired by her new single, "Used to Be Young."
