 In the series , 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 . " Heather Phares from AllMusic described Cyrus ' vocals on her personal tracks as being " lower and throatier " with " more organic and rock @-@ oriented " instrumentation .
