'''''Bangerz''''' is the fourth studio album by American singer [[Miley Cyrus]], released on September 30, 2013, by [[RCA Records]]. It is her first body of original work since leaving [[Hollywood Records]] after her third studio album ''[[Can't Be Tamed]]'' (2010) and signing with RCA in early 2013. Cyrus began working on the album, and decided against prioritizing her acting career as originally stated, in 2012. ''Bangerz'' is a [[Pop music|pop]], [[hip hop music|hip hop]] and [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] record, with lyrical themes that revolve largely around romance. It is a shift from Cyrus' previous work, which she felt "disconnected" from. Pop singer [[Britney Spears]] and rappers [[Big Sean]], [[French Montana]], [[Future (rapper)|Future]], [[Ludacris]], and [[Nelly]] appear as guest vocalists.
''Bangerz'' received mixed to positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production and originality but were divided on Cyrus' provocative image. It became Cyrus' fifth number-one album on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], and was the third-highest opening week for a female artist in 2013. The album has since been certified triple-platinum by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA). It was also nominated for [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album|Best Pop Vocal Album]] at the [[57th Annual Grammy Awards]], marking Cyrus' first career Grammy nomination.
The album was supported by the singles "[[We Can't Stop]]", "[[Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus song)|Wrecking Ball]]", and "[[Adore You (Miley Cyrus song)|Adore You]]". "We Can't Stop" peaked at number two on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], and "Wrecking Ball" became Cyrus' first number-one single in the United States. Both singles' music videos were once the fastest videos to reach 100 million views on [[Vevo]], and the latter won the award for [[MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year|Video of the Year]] at the [[2014 MTV Video Music Awards]]. Cyrus further promoted the album with the international [[Bangerz Tour]] in 2014.
''Bangerz'' and its promotional efforts are lauded as a turning point in Cyrus' career, in which her public image successfully evolved from being a [[Child actor|child star]] who was synonymous with her former television series ''[[Hannah Montana]]'', to being a contemporary artist in her own right. Cyrus' controversial and sexually-charged behavior during this time resulted in several defining moments in [[Popular culture|pop culture]], including her polarizing performance at the [[2013 MTV Video Music Awards]], and the release of the controversial video of the single "[[Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus song)|Wrecking Ball]]".

In 2012, Cyrus announced plans to focus on her film career, effectively putting her musical endeavors on a hiatus. That year, she appeared in the films ''[[LOL (2012 film)|LOL]]'' and ''[[So Undercover]]''. She was also confirmed as a primary voice actress in the feature film ''[[Hotel Transylvania (film)|Hotel Transylvania]]'', but was fired from the project due to a scandal involving her licking a suggestive cake. This fallout ended up serving her well to coordinate a musical comeback.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/69288/Miley-Cyrus-Drops-Out-Of-Film-Role-To-Make-Pop-Comeback|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150404070727/http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/69288/miley-cyrus-drops-out-of-film-role-to-make-pop-comeback|title=Miley Cyrus Drops Out Of Film Role To Make Pop Comeback|last=Kitchener|first=Shaun|publisher=Entertainmentwise.

She described the music as "dirty south hip-hop" and combining the genres of hip-hop and country, which she felt was a "good hybrid". To achieve this sound, Cyrus worked with various hip hop producers including [[Mike Will Made It]], [[Mac Miller]], [[Pharrell Williams]], and [[Tyler, the Creator]] in cities including [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. They helped her to incorporate [[hip hop music]] elements into the project, which Cyrus acknowledged resulted in a "really different sound".<ref>{{cite web|title=Miley Cyrus talks new album|url=http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/09/miley-cyrus-talks-new-album/|work=The Marquee Blog|publisher=CNN|access-date=October 3, 2013|date=November 9, 2013|archive-date=September 29, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929040020/http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/09/miley-cyrus-talks-new-album/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Cyrus further commented that her project would "shut everyone up",<ref name="ShutEveryoneUp"/> and later compared the record to ''[[Bad (album)|Bad]]'' (1987) by [[Michael Jackson]], in that "people still are listening to [it] because it's so fucking dope" and "[wants] people to listen to [her] album like that."<ref name="rolling">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/miley-cyrus-on-why-she-loves-weed-went-wild-at-the-vmas-and-much-more-20130927|title=Miley Cyrus on Why She Loves Weed, Went Wild at the VMAs and Much More|magazine=Rolling Stone|publisher=Wenner Media, LLC|date=September 27, 2013|last=Eells|first=Josh|access-date=October 8, 2013|archive-date=October 5, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005102629/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/miley-cyrus-on-why-she-loves-weed-went-wild-at-the-vmas-and-much-more-20130927|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.inquisitr.com/971217/miley-cyrus-thinks-shes-the-second-coming-compares-bangerz-album-to-bad/#b4tbFp9IKmvK6fOs.99|title=Miley Cyrus Thinks She's The Second Coming, Compares 'Bangerz' Album To 'Bad'|last=Cruz|first=Niki|publisher=The Inquisitr|date=September 28, 2013|access-date=September 28, 2013|archive-date=September 28, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928192642/http://www.inquisitr.com/971217/miley-cyrus-thinks-shes-the-second-coming-compares-bangerz-album-to-bad/#b4tbFp9IKmvK6fOs.99|url-status=live}}</ref> She also expressed her desire to "set a new standard for pop music".<ref name="rolling" /> Producer [[Sean Garrett]] called the record "fun [and] exciting", and stated that a collaboration that Cyrus recorded with [[Britney Spears]] would appear on the final track listing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2305238/miley-cyrus-britney-spears-bangerz-collaboration-announcement/|title=Buzz Bites (8/28/13): It's Confirmed!

===Songs and lyrical content===
The seventh track "Love Money Party" features [[Big Sean]], and incorporates a "grimy, haunted-house beat". Jason Lipshutz from ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' noted that Cyrus appeared more comfortable with [[rapping]] in the recording, compared to an earlier performance on the [[Mike Will Made It]] single "[[23 (Mike Will Made It song)|23]]". "#GetItRight" is a "stylish breeze" that sees the inclusion of "whistling [...] and a chopped guitar lick". It was described as being reminiscent of "Twisted" by [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]] and "Kickin' In" by [[Adam Lambert]], all three of which were produced by [[Pharrell Williams]].<ref name="BillboardReview"/> Cyrus stated that "Drive" was inspired by "needing to leave someone but not really wanting to completely cut yourself off from the relationship." The track was described as "a sad-[[Kanye West|Kanye]]-esque track"<ref name=":0" /> and her comments were assumed to reference her engagement to Hemsworth by the media.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2013/09/miley-cyrus-reveals-the-moment-she-knew-her-engagement-was-over/|title=Miley Cyrus Reveals the Moment She Knew Her Engagement Was Over|last=Rothman|first=Michael|publisher=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]].

He went on to describe "Do My Thang" as a "ripping dance track",<ref name="EntertainmentWeeklyReview"/> while Lipshutz recognized influences from "gooey synthesizers and snapping percussion". "Maybe You're Right" incorporates drum instrumentation with "hints of [[Gospel music|gospel]] influence", and was also questioned to be addressing Hemsworth. The thirteenth and final track "Someone Else" combines hip hop and synthpop styles, and lyrically discusses Cyrus' evolving public image.<ref name="BillboardReview"/>

| quote = "I still really can't stand the way people keep pinning Miley's cribbing from a wide variety of other cultures and styles as somehow evil. And, it's not just hip-hop on this album, but country, EDM, vampy balladry, and more. This is basically what white girls in America do. Why? Because there is essentially no culture for white women in America beyond sex, daughter/wife roles, and beauty, and for some of us, that is not enough."

Mikael Wood from the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' noted that the album favored a "grittier, hip-hop-inspired vibe" instead of the "glossy electro-pop" from her previous material, and further opined that "We Can't Stop" "still astounds; it might be the calmest, most clear-eyed rebel yell since [[Janet Jackson]]'s '[[Control (Janet Jackson song)|Control]].'

''Bangerz'' and its promotional events have been largely credited with establishing a sexually provocative image for Cyrus.<ref name="ForbesImage"/> Zack O'Malley Greenburg from ''[[Forbes]]'' noted that her performances, music videos, and public behavior received "plenty of condemnation along with all the attention" in the lead-up to the record; he suggested that this was intentionally done so "[parents will] never again buy any products related to Cyrus–or her former alter-ego, tween sensation [[Miley Stewart#Hannah Montana|Hannah Montana]]."<ref name="ForbesImage"/> John Murphy from ''[[MusicOMH]]'' stated that Cyrus' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards became "''the'' seismic event that ensured we'd never recall 2013 without thinking of her", further opining that the anticipation it built for ''Bangerz'' made it "impossible not to admire her [[Public relations|PR]] operation."<ref name="MusicOMH"/>
Andrew Unterberger of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' felt that ''Bangerz'' developed the maturing image for Cyrus that her third album ''[[Can't Be Tamed]]'' (2010) failed to accomplish. He suggested that she had "no true backup plan" for creating a new public persona in 2010, and stated that she "now feels firmly in control of her music and her image" in 2013.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/5747935/miley-cyrus-cant-be-tamed-revisited-why-her-first-rebellion-didnt|title=Miley Cyrus' 'Can't Be Tamed' Revisited: Why Her First Rebellion Didn't Work|last=Unterberger|first=Andrew|magazine=Billboard|date=October 3, 2013|access-date=October 9, 2013|archive-date=October 6, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131006000551/http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/5747935/miley-cyrus-cant-be-tamed-revisited-why-her-first-rebellion-didnt|url-status=live}}</ref> Marlow Stern from ''[[The Daily Beast]]'' shared a similar sentiment, stating that Cyrus "is completely in control of what she’s doing" after her recent controversies, which he described as "pure artistic calculation born out of mild desperation", and has successfully done "just about anything to gain our attention".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/07/miley-cyrus-s-album-bangerz-is-totally-schizo-and-catchy-as-hell.html|title=Miley Cyrus's Album 'Bangerz' Is Totally Schizo and Catchy as Hell|last=Stern|first=Marlow|newspaper=[[The Daily Beast]]|publisher=[[The Newsweek Daily Beast Company]]|date=October 7, 2013|access-date=October 13, 2013|archive-date=October 10, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131010071933/http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/07/miley-cyrus-s-album-bangerz-is-totally-schizo-and-catchy-as-hell.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Zack O'Malley Greenburg of ''[[Forbes]]'' commented that despite widespread criticism of "chasing [[YouTube]] views and record sales at the expense of her image", the "new Cyrus" appears "marketable as ever."<ref name="ForbesImage"/> Writing for ''[[Glamour (magazine)|Glamour]]'', Mickey Woods compared the promotional "era" for ''Bangerz'' to those of [[Britney Spears]]' and [[Christina Aguilera]]'s third and fourth studio albums ''[[Britney (album)|Britney]]'' (2001) and ''[[Stripped (Christina Aguilera album)|Stripped]]'' (2002), respectively, in that "both albums by these legends were wildly experimental", adding that Cyrus' project "will probably be retrospectively deemed iconic, maybe even classic."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glamour.com/story/we-love-miley-cyrus-new-album|title=We Love Miley Cyrus' New Album, Bangerz, and 6 Reasons You Should Too!|last=Woods|first=Mickey|work=[[Glamour (magazine)|Glamour]]|date=October 8, 2013|access-date=November 20, 2013|archive-date=April 25, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160425111159/http://www.glamour.com/story/we-love-miley-cyrus-new-album|url-status=live}}</ref> Mark Jacobs of ''[[V (American magazine)|V]]'' likened the album to ''[[Control (Janet Jackson album)|Control]]'' (1986) by [[Janet Jackson]], in that Cyrus was "an artist coming into her own" in a fashion similar to Jackson.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vmagazine.com/article/the-emancipation-of-miley/|title=The Emancipation of Miley|last=Jacobs|first=Mark|work=[[V (American magazine)|V]]|publisher=[[Visionaire]]|date=May 1, 2013|access-date=February 26, 2014|archive-date=May 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160515014544/http://vmagazine.com/article/the-emancipation-of-miley/|url-status=live}}</ref>
Patrick Ryan of ''[[USA Today]]'' commented that Cyrus' collaborations with [[Mike Will Made It]] contributed to his new-found prominence, stating that Mike Will Made It's position as an executive producer has helped him "[jump] to the forefront as an interesting character [...] in an era where a lot of producers have fallen behind the scenes again".<ref name="ThankstoMiley"/> From a commercial standpoint, however, Suzanne Cowie of Babble suggested that Cyrus' opening-week sales figures and subsequent decline supported the idea that the [[studio album]] format is reaching its end, having used her example to exemplify that "consumers are only interested in the single". She further opined that they do not "[have] the time to sit and listen through to an album in its entirety", and credited the rise of [[Music download|digital download]]s with promoting a less engaging listening process, where consumers "[have not] connected in any way with the band/singer and their hopes for the record."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.babble.com/entertainment/is-the-album-dead-as-album-sales-plummet-we-look-at-the-top-10-best-selling-albums-of-all-time/|title=Is the Album Dead?
