Millennials rejoiced as their worlds collided when former Disney stars and friends, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus took to their social media to hilariously share the news of their new single, releasing on August 25.

 "@mileycyrus and I both have a SINGLE SOON and we are releasing on the same day," Gomez, 31, wrote in an Instagram Story post. "We have been friends since we USED TO BE YOUNG. Excited for August 25th!" 

Gomez's story was accompanied by a clip of her character of Mikayla Skeech in a "Hannah Montana" episode, Miley's hit Disney show, where Gomez appeared as a guest star. In the episode, the teens got into a comically catty argument while taking calls for a telethon. Gomez then called Cyrus as they were seated next to one another to dole out some witty jabs.

 "Selena and Miley announcing new singles within 1 hour of each other," Cyrus, 30, joked on her Instagram Story post of the same throwback video.

"I decided to release 'Used to be Young' on August 25 because this particular date historically has been important to me personally and in my career," said Cyrus in a snippet shared on Friday.

About her new song, Gomez wrote "Y'all have been asking for new music for a while, Since I'm not quite done with SG3, I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that's perfect for the end of summer. 'SINGLE SOON'. August 25th. Presave it now.
