Mandy Moore, a star of the beloved TV show This is Us, is planning a return to her pop star roots, she announced on social media.

The actress, who plays Rebecca Pearson on the NBS drama, started her career as a pop singer, rising to fame with the 1999 hit “Candy” and launching her acting career a few years later.

She’s since devoted her time to acting, having released her last LP, Amanda Leight, in 2009.
