The EP featured multiple new songs, and fans couldn&#8217;t contain their excitement about the <em>Good Luck Charlie<\/em> alum&#8217;s possible reentry onto the music scene. So, did Bridgit release a new EP?<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">Find out the truth behind that <em>Once Again <\/em>surprise and what Bridgit said about it below.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Bridgit Mendler Doing Today?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">Bridgit is an educated and accomplished entrepreneur. She co-founded the satellite data company Northwood Space with her husband, <strong>Griffin Cleverly<\/strong>. Bridgit is the CEO of the startup.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">During an October 2024 interview with her <em>Lemonade Mouth<\/em> co-star <a  href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/naomi-scott\/\"  ><strong>Naomi Scott<\/strong><\/a> for <a  href=\"https:\/\/hero-magazine.com\/article\/264907\/naomi-scott-bridgit-mendler\"  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener nofollow\"  ><em>Hero<\/em><\/a> magazine, Bridgit explained her company&#8217;s mission in further detail. Calling Northwood a &#8220;different kind of space company,&#8221; Bridgit said they &#8220;send data for satellites, and we do that through building these big-ass antennas on the ground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BXGltLBgSOF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:500px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:16px;\"> <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BXGltLBgSOF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\"  style=\" background:#FFFFFF; line-height:0; padding:0 0; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; width:100%;\"  target=\"_blank\"  > <\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex;flex-direction: row;align-items: center\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex;flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px\">\n<div style=\"color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex;flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex;flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\"><script async src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">&#8220;Basically, the space industry was built to accommodate different kinds of missions with NASA, just a couple of satellites in space doing these really bespoke government missions,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;But now, we have a whole commercial space industry where we\u2019re launching hundreds of satellites all the time, and there\u2019s going to be hundreds of thousands of satellites in space. So, we thought we needed a different solution in order to actually accommodate that. Going back to my family origins of why I think this is meaningful, I grew up with parents who said, &#8216;Do something in your life that matters.&#8217; When I think about the things I\u2019ve been exposed to in my life, for us millennials, we\u2019ve lived through a number of different communications revolutions, you remember before the Internet and after the Internet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">Bridgit&#8217;s degrees from MIT and Harvard clearly paid off. Naomi joked during their interview that Bridgit &#8220;called me not long ago and was like, &#8216;I\u2019m going to go do a law degree at Harvard.&#8217; I can never keep up. I think my favourite thing about our relationship is Bridgit having to re-explain everything to me every time we see each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Did Bridgit Mendler Release a New EP Titled <em>Once Again<\/em>?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-11\">No. Bridgit clarified that the surprise Spotify EP release titled <em>Once Again<\/em> wasn&#8217;t her doing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-12\">&#8220;Sorry to disappoint everyone, the Spotify release wasn&#8217;t me!&#8221; she tweeted on June 10, 2026. Days prior, a new EP titled Once Again showed up on Bridgit&#8217;s Spotify and Apple Music profiles under the label &#8220;new release.&#8221; The EP included new tracks, including\u00a0\u201cFlowers,\u201d \u201cCold,\u201d \u201cMercy,\u201d \u201cLong Run,\u201d \u201cLoyalties\u201d and \u201cOxygen,&#8221; and Disney Channel fans were excited beyond words.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">when it is, trust me, you&#39;ll know ;)<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-13\">&mdash; Bridgit Mendler (@bridgitmendler) <a  href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bridgitmendler\/status\/2064883276217749750?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\"  target=\"_blank\"  >June 11, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-14\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-15\">Shortly after Bridgit&#8217;s Spotify profile made headlines, a spokesperson for the platform told Hollywood Life in a statement, \u201cThe release has been removed from the artist&#8217;s profile. Protecting artists&#8217; identities is a top priority for us, and we continue to invest heavily in detection and prevention. Spotify is the only streaming service to offer Artist Profile Protection, currently available in Beta, which lets artists opt in to review and approve or decline incoming releases before they go live on their profile.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Will Bridgit Mendler Ever Make New Music?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-16\">Bridgit has never said &#8220;never&#8221; to making new music, but for now, she&#8217;s focused on her startup company. In a follow-up tweet from those 2026 EP rumors, the <em>Wizards of Waverly Place<\/em> alum wrote, &#8220;When it is [me releasing new music], trust me, you&#8217;ll know ;),&#8221; which fans took as a hopeful sign.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-17\">During her 2024 <em>Hero<\/em> convo with Naomi, Bridgit explained why she stepped away from the music scene.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-18\">&#8220;At a certain point with music, I just didn\u2019t find my people to make it with,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I\u2019ve dabbled with production myself and admire artists who can be self-sufficient in that way, and I think I could, but there\u2019s also so much joy that comes from making it with other people.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bridgit may be a successful entrepreneur now, but her fans have never forgotten her Disney Channel and pop star days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":191609899,"featured_media":5544215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exclude_post_from_river":false,"_cr_original_post":"","_cr_replace_post_id":"","_cr_replacing_post_id":"","mt_seo_title":"Did Bridgit Mendler Release New Music?
