When a show becomes that famous, and draws a global audience and featuring a rising superstar in the lead, the next logical step is to make a feature-length movie. Shockingly, Duff admitted she doesn't remember recording her hit song "What Dreams Are Made Of."
Duff made the surprising admission during an interview with Jake Shane on Therapuss, explaining that the movie and song were recorded during a "weird time" in her life.
"I don't even remember recording that song," Duff said. "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....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"

According to IMDB, Duff has no future TV work in the pipeline. Nothing is listed as "upcoming" or "in pre-production." Therefore, it would appear her focus has shifted back to the music industry.
