In January 2013, Cyrus signed a recording contract with RCA Records. This fallout ended up serving her well to coordinate a musical comeback. She was also confirmed as a primary voice actress in the feature film Hotel Transylvania, but was fired from the project due to a scandal involving her licking a suggestive cake. That year, she appeared in the films LOL and So Undercover. In 2012, Cyrus announced plans to focus on her film career, effectively putting her musical endeavors on a hiatus. Cyrus describing the artistic transition she experienced during the production of Bangerz. When you're in your 20s, you just don't really know that person anymore." My last record I feel so disconnected from – I was 16 or 17 when I made it. "Right now, when people go to iTunes and listen to my old music, it's so irritating to me because I can't just erase that stuff and start over. Cyrus further promoted the album with her fourth concert tour, the Bangerz Tour. She garnered widespread media attention through a controversial performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, and was later the host and musical guest on an episode of Saturday Night Live. Promotional efforts for Bangerz continued to associate Cyrus with an increasingly provocative image, an effort first begun with her third record, Can't Be Tamed (2010). " Adore You" was released as the third single from the record on December 17, 2013, and was certified 2x Platinum in the US. The "Wrecking Ball" music video also won Cyrus the award for " Video of the Year" at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. Its accompanying music video was the fastest video to reach 100 million views on Vevo until being beaten by Adele's " Hello" music video in 2015. The second single " Wrecking Ball" was released on August 25, 2013, and became Cyrus' first number-one single in the United States. " We Can't Stop" was released as the lead single from Bangerz on June 3, 2013, and peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, marking Cyrus' first career Grammy nomination. It was the third-highest opening week for a female artist in 2013 behind Beyoncé's self-titled album and Katy Perry's Prism, and was later certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after moving three million album-equivalent units. In doing so, it became Cyrus' fifth number-one album, including earlier soundtracks in which she performed as her character Hannah Montana. The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 270,000 copies. Upon its release, Bangerz received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised its overall production and originality, as well as the evolution of Cyrus' public persona. It features guest vocals from several new partners, including pop singer Britney Spears and rappers Big Sean, French Montana, Future, Ludacris, and Nelly. Their efforts resulted in a primarily pop and R&B record, with lyrical themes that revolve largely around romance. As executive producers, Cyrus and Mike Will Made It collaborated with hip hop producers including Pharrell Williams, Oren Yoel, Rami Samir Afuni, Dr.
Described by Cyrus as " dirty south hip-hop", Bangerz represents a musical departure from her earlier works, which she had grown to feel "disconnected" from. Work continued into 2013 when she signed with RCA Records. Opting to re-establish her music career instead of focusing on her acting career as originally planned, Cyrus began planning the project in late 2012. It is her first studio album since 2010's Can't Be Tamed. It was released on September 30, 2013, by RCA Records. Bangerz is the fourth studio album by American singer Miley Cyrus.
