"If We Were a Movie" is a pop song by American recording artist and actress Miley Cyrus. She performed the song as Hannah Montana – the alter ego of Miley Stewart, a character she plays on the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana. "If We Were a Movie" was written by Jennie Lurie and Holly Mathis and was produced by Antonina Armato and Tim James. The song was released to Radio Disney as promotion for the series and its first soundtrack, Hannah Montana. The song has teen pop influences.
In the United States, the song peaked at number forty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and within the top forty on the Pop 100. Its appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 made Cyrus the first act to have six songs debut on the chart in the same week. A music video for "If We Were a Movie" was taken from footage of a Hannah Montana Radio Disney concert performance.
The song was later re-recorded in 2009 as a duet with fellow Disney Channel actor Corbin Bleu for the Hannah Montana 3 soundtrack album.
The solo version of the song was featured in the season 1 episodes Good Golly, Miss Dolly and My Boyfriend's Jackson and There's Gonna Be Trouble. The duet version was featured in the season 2 episode We're All on This Date Together. The solo version was also featured in the season 3 episode Killing Me Softly with His Height.

Lyrics[]
Oh oh
There you go again, talkin' cinematic
Yeah you!
You're charming, got everybody starstruck
I know
How you always seem to go
For the obvious, instead of me
But get a ticket and you'll see
If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with
In the end, we'd be laughin'
Watchin' the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play that happy song (yeah)
Yeah, yeah
When you call me, I can hear it in you voice
Oh sure,
Wanna see me and tell me all about her
La, La
I'll be actin' through my tears
Guess you'll never know that I should win
An Oscar for this scene I'm in
If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with
In the end, we'd be laughin'
Watchin' the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play that happy song
Wish I could tell you there's a twist
Some kind of hero in disguise
And were together, it's for real
Now playin'
Wish I could tell you there's a kiss
Like somethin' more than in my mind
I see it
Could be amazing (could be amazing)
(If we were a movie) If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy (Right guy)
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with
In the end, we'd be lovin'
Watchin' the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play that happy song
If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with
In the end, we'd be laughin'
Watchin' the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play that happy song
(If we were)
If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with
In the end, we'd be laughin'
Watchin' the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play that happy song
If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with
In the end, we'd be laughin'
Watchin' the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play that happy song
