2017

...was all shit. Makes you want to throw up. Similarly, HM1 was shit. It had one defining song, either Best of Both Worlds or Boomerang, that is the artist's top song regardless of other efforts. And it gets stuck in your head, regardless of other efforts

2018

Every Girl's A Super Girl is Supergirl. Both have synth plucks in a continuous pattern. Both have Super Girl in the title. Siwa's spin on it is that being supergirl is much easier than Montana made it seem.

High Top Shoes is Old Blue Jeans. Both have an old-style synthpop undertone to them. Both are about an item of clothing strengthening someone's identity. Only difference is that the shoes make Siwa more on-brand while the jeans bring out Montana's "real me." Both songs are mediocre, although I would argue that High Top Shoes is better.

Only Getting Better is One in a Million. Both have the same guitar rhythm in the beginning. Both are about unique opportunities presented by life or a person, respectfully. Oddly enough, in the music video Siwa depicts herself in a barn, on a horse, courting a blond farmer love interest, dressed in pansexual plaid, and on the Hoedown Throwdown stage, all scenes from Hannah Montana the Movie.

2019

My Story is Best of Both Worlds. Sure, technically Boomerang fills the reputation-induced role of that. But My Story's verse melody sounds just like BoBW. Both are overarching theme songs of each person/character's lives.

BOP! is Hoedown Throwdown. Both have the same boom-boom-clap beat that Montana (technically Hoedown is a Cyrus song) verbalizes. Both are instructional call-out-steps dances (idk what to call them). Throwdown has been compared to Montana's Ice Cream Freeze, and similarly, BOP! has Siwa calling out "freeze" mere seconds into the song.

It's Time To Celebrate is Are You Ready. Both are about going out somewhere and partying. Both have straight 8th note beats. However, Siwa's vibe in this is more reminiscent of HM2, so this is more of a loose comparison.
