Amanda Bynes is exploring a new creative direction, revealing plans to release an EDM track and offering fans a glimpse into her latest musical experiment. The former Nickelodeon star shared multiple previews of an in-progress song on social media, describing the project as a “dance trance edm track” and signaling a potential pivot into electronic music.
On January 19, Bynes posted a short audio clip from the studio, introducing the track and tagging collaborators Nikki Paige, Zabastien Lucas, and Yung Yogi. “Cooking up in the studio,” she wrote. “Want this to be a dance trance edm track. We’ll see where we go with it.” The teaser hinted at a melodic, electronic foundation, sparking immediate curiosity among fans and followers.
A second preview, shared on January 28, offered a more developed version of the song. The updated snippet revealed a clearer structure and atmosphere, suggesting a blend of uplifting trance elements with modern EDM production. While still unfinished, the track appears to lean toward an emotive, dancefloor-oriented sound rather than a pop crossover, indicating a more exploratory approach to the genre.
Bynes rose to fame as a child actor on All That before becoming one of Nickelodeon’s most recognizable stars with The Amanda Show. Her early success quickly translated into a film career, with roles in popular titles such as She’s the Man, Hairspray, and Easy A, cementing her status as a major figure in early-2000s pop culture.
Over the past decade, Bynes has largely stepped away from the public spotlight, choosing to focus on personal growth, education, and creative self-expression. In 2019, she graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, marking a shift toward design and visual creativity. Since then, she has explored a range of artistic outlets, including fashion, podcasting, and now music.
Her move into electronic music appears to be framed less as a high-profile comeback and more as a personal creative exploration. Rather than announcing a formal release campaign, Bynes has opted to share works-in-progress directly with her audience, allowing listeners to witness the evolution of the track in real time.
As of now, no official release date or label involvement has been confirmed. However, the growing interest around the previews suggests that her EDM experiment is resonating with both longtime fans and curious listeners from the dance music community.
Whether the track ultimately becomes a standalone release or the beginning of a broader musical journey, Bynes’ foray into EDM represents a notable and unexpected crossover — one rooted in experimentation, self-expression, and a willingness to explore new creative territory on her own terms.
