She was raised Roman Catholic.[9]

The video was released in The Haunting Hour DVD and premiered on Cartoon Network.

I Don't Think About It was recorded for RL Stine's The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It and hit number one on the Radio Disney top three in July 2009.[24] She also shot an accompanying music video for the song, released in The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It DVD.

The music video shows Osment singing the song in a recording studio. Throughout it are scenes of her singing to the song with crazy animations in the background. Another portion of it shows clips from the movie The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It. IT also shows behind the scenes clips and some with home videos of her.

Osment also recorded a remake version of the song "If I Didn't Have You" with Mitchel Musso for the DisneyMania 6 CD. The song was produced by Bryan Todd. The two also filmed a music video for their remake.[25] In addition, she also recorded a song, released in 2008, with "The Disney Channel Circle of Stars".

According to an audio interview with Osment backstage at the Grammys 2008, she is currently writing and recording tracks with Eve 6. In an interview with Half Taft Blue in 2008, she said that she is working on her EP which is called All the Right Wrongs, though the sound will be completely different from Disney pop. Instead, the main genre will be Indie rock, and the EP will be released. She is set to write most of the songs on the album, with the new track "All The Way Up" being premiered on Radio Disney in August 2009.

Osment describes her music as "definitely Pop but with an Alternative rock edge." She has collaborated on tunes with Tom Higgenson, Max Collins, Tony Fagenson, Toby Gad and Mandi Perkins.[27][28] On September 18, 2009, Osment tweeted the songs that would be featured in her EP on her official Twitter page.[29]

Late that summer, Disney released a Hannah Montana clothing collection. Osment helped to design some of the pieces from the collection. Her image was used in some of these pieces, as well as other Hannah Montana merchandise (such as dolls and DVDs).[34]
