The professional dancer told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show Thursday that she "really, really want[s] to focus on the music and, you know, kind of be taken seriously a little bit."
Hough, 20, and her celebrity partners have won two of the four seasons she has appeared on ABC's dance competition show.
She and "Hannah Montana" actor Cody Linley were eliminated on Tuesday from this season's contest, one which saw Hough undergo appendectomy surgery last month.
Hough has already released two albums -- a self-titled country album earlier this year and a Christmas album that recently hit stores.
