Miley Cyrus portrayed Hannah Montana (pictured) on the television series.

In Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus portrays the character Miley Stewart, a teenager who lives the secret double life as the pop star Hannah Montana. She stated that "most songs for the first season reflect the show, with Miley or Hannah making sure the other doesn't get caught or whatever," opining that the tracks provided series producers with the opportunity to "make sure that everyone understood the characters". By comparison, Cyrus described material used during the second season as "more speaking out to the fans."[1]

"Nobody's Perfect" was written and produced by

Allmusic as "synth-driven pop",[5] and discusses the importance of overcoming mistakes.[6]
