Below, I’ve listed a review of the album with a little background on each song from the Deluxe Version. Enjoy!
1. Adore You
This is a slow track which is, unfortunately, nothing really crazy to talk about. I could see girls sitting in their rooms listening to this after a breakup, crouched in their corners or lying on their beds. But, it’s a little bit of disappointment as a pick for the first track of the album. Here are the lyrics to the track:
Baby, baby, are you listening
Wondering where you’ve been all my life
I just started living
Oh baby, are you listeningWhen you say you love me,
Know I love you more
And when you say you need me,
Know I need you more
Boy I adore you
I adore youBaby can you hear me
When I’m crying out for you
I’m scared oh so scared
But when you’re near me
I feel like I’m standing with an army
I am armed with weaponsWhen you say you love me,
Know I love you more
And when you say you need me,
Know I need you more
Boy I adore you
I adore youI love lying next to you
I could do this for eternity, you and me
We’re meant to be in holy matrimony
God knew exactly what he was doing
When he led me to youWhen you say you love me,
Know I love you more
And when you say you need me,
Know I need you more
Boy I adore you
I adore you
2. We Can’t Stop
This is a hit we all know and love, a definite win for Cyrus that skyrocketed the twerking trend.
3. SMS (Bangerz) feat. Britney Spears
The newly leaked “SMS” song featuring Britney Spears has gotten a lot of hype. Unfortunately, the song is not very impressive. We wish we could say something different, but were really let down by the track. There’s a lot to be expected with a dynamic pop duo like Miley and Britney. Sure it’s upbeat, but it’s seriously corny and not catchy at all. Very sad.
4. 4×4 feat. Nelly

This track isn’t too bad, but it’s also nothing amazing. Nelly’s music hasn’t been in headlines lately, and, unfortunately, this song probably won’t make waves for him either. Nelly may have told MTV that Miley’s brilliant (which we don’t disagree with), but maybe she should have thought a little bit more about this song before creating it. It’s a cross between hick and hip-hop. It’s a bit catchy, but a little corny too.
5. My Darlin’ feat. Future
This one actually sounds pretty cool in the beginning. It’s definitely a step up from some of the other tracks. With a seductive sound to it, the song isn’t exactly a hit, but it’s worth a listen. And, if you want to see the lyrics to this one:
Stand by me
Oh my darlin’
Stand by meI walked through a pool of water
When I see the shadow of a broken-hearted girl
Picture her walking to the altar
For better or for worseWhy don’t you stand?
Stand by me
Oh my darlin’
Stand by me
‘Cause we gon’ make a movie, a movie
And it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3D
And we gon’ make a movie, a movie
And it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3DWhy don’t you stand?
Stand by me
Oh my darlin’
Stand by meI’m ballroom down
The shoes’ that got me suede
When I do that feeling
No never get back
I ain’t take no shots, but used to got me high
What happened to the feeling? I wish it wouldn’t stopWe were ’bout to be together
We were ’bout to be togetherIt’s in a love you need to show fast
Plenty odds are running out of time
But Oz’s on the borderwalk baby
Take me as I am or not
I can’t breath without you, without you, as mineWhy don’t you stand?
Stand by me
Oh my darlin’
Stand by me
‘Cause we gon’ make a movie, a movie
And it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3D
And we gon’ make a movie, a movie
And it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3DMy darlin’, stand by me
3D, movie, 3D, 3DWhy don’t you stand?
Stand by me
Oh my darlin’
Stand by me
‘Cause we gon’ make a movie, a movie
And it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3D
And we gon’ make a movie, a movie
And it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3DWhy don’t you stand?
Stand by me
Oh my darlin’
Stand by me
6. Wrecking Ball
The infamous “Wrecking Ball.” Of course this song is great and her fans obviously have shown they agree.
7. Love Money Party feat. Big Sean

We really wanted to like this song, especially since it features Big Sean, but we just couldn’t. It’s Miley rapping in a semi-upbeat track and it’s just barely mediocre. Sorry, Miley. Here’s a little glimpse into the chorus of this track:
Money ain’t nothing
Money can’t buy you love
I don’t care if you sitting on my crib
Money ain’t nothing
After that right now
What about the real and the way you feel
Money get low and the dj stop and the music slow down
And that shit get blurry
Love money party yeah
8. #GETITRIGHT
First of all, using a hashtag for a track title is genius, making song promotion on Twitter very easy. But … the awesomeness behind title doesn’t match the track. It looks like Miley didn’t “get it right” with this one. Plus, we’re starting to see a not so great pattern here, which kind of sucks since the album’s been promoted so highly.
9. Drive
This song’s kind of like-able, with a lot more singing as opposed to Miley’s rap tracks. In addition, the song seems to be talking angrily about a breakup, which leads us to believe it may be about her relationship with Liam Hemsworth. Take a look at some of the lyrics below:
You told me you were coming back, right back
You promised it was real and I believe that
But if I fall for it again, I would be a fool
If our love is at the end, then why do I still want you
But I guess I got no valentine
Send me roses, I just let ’em die
I was crazy thinking you were mine
It was all just a lie
10. FU feat. French Montana
(Getty)
With a name like “FU,” the song is definitely intriguing, but that’s kind of where the intrigue ends. It’s a bit of an awkward melody, but seems to also talk about Miley’s ex with an intro like this:
Oh you broke my heart
I told you I was weak for love
But then you went around
And did what you wanted to do
And now I’m crying, crying
Does that sounds like a possible Liam Hemsworth tribute to anyone?
11. Do My Thang
This one’s not a bad track, with somewhat of a club beat to it. It’s not as great as “Wrecking Ball” and “We Can’t Stop,” but it’s fun. Another link to Liam, perhaps, as Miley says “don’t you worry about me I’ll be okay. I’mma do my thing, cause I’mma do my thing.” But other lyrics may not relate to her ex at all, so this track may just be about Miley haters. More lyrics include: B
ang bitch
You think I’m strange bitch
It’s bananas like a fucking ‘rangatang bitch
Don’t worry ’bout me
I got it all arranged bitch
Mind your business, stay in your lane bitch
Oh yeah I’m a southern belle
I told ya’ll once before I get crazier than hell
12. Maybe You’re Right
We like it … We really like it! Success. The song is reflecting back on Miley’s relationship with Liam and talks about how to move on from it. Check out these powerful lyrics:
Maybe You’re Right
Maybe we should’ve never fell in love
It was a mistake
Maybe You’re Right, in the end.
13. Someone Else
This track has some amazing lyrics, potentially about the demise of Miley’s relationship with Liam Hemsworth, but it’s definitely not a downer. It’s a nice, upbeat song and it definitely makes up for some of Miley’s other not-so-awesome tracks. Read the awesome lyrics here:
If you’re looking for love
Know that love don’t live here anymore
He left with my heart
They both walked through that door without me
If you’re trying to find pity
Well, you need to look somewhere else
‘Cause I surely can’t help you
I’m hurting myself
I’ve turned into someone elseI used to believe love conquers all
‘Cause that’s what I’ve seen in the movies
Come to find out it’s not like that at all
You see, real life’s much differentI don’t wanna see you go
I only wanna see you smile
Hurt so much just thinking of
Felt like this for a while
I can’t stand to see you fail
We tried, we lied and I pretend
To take us back to what we had
To make us feel alive againHold me close
Don’t let me go
I hope, tell me now
It’s not the endIf you’re looking for love
Know that love don’t live here anymore
He left with my heart
They both walked through that door without me
If you’re trying to find pity
Well, you need to look somewhere else
‘Cause I surely can’t help you
I’m hurting myself
I’ve turned into someone elseI’ve turned into someone else
I used to believe love conquers all
‘Cause that’s what I felt when you held me
I thought you’d catch me if I’d fall
And fill me up when I’m emptyI don’t wanna see you go
I only wanna see you smile
Hurt so much just thinking of
Felt like this for a while
I can’t stand to see you fail
We tried, we lied and I pretend
To take us back to what we had
To make us feel alive againHold me close
Don’t let me go
I hope, tell me now
It’s not the endIf you’re looking for love
Know that love don’t live here anymore
He left with my heart
They both walked through that door without me
If you’re trying to find pity
Well, you need to look somewhere else
‘Cause I surely can’t help you
I’m hurting myself
I’ve turned into someone elseLove is patient
Love is selfless
Love is hopefull
Love is kind
Love is jealous
Love is selfish
Love is hopeless
Love is blind
Love is patient
Love is selfless
Love is hopefull
Love is kind
Love is jealous
Love is selfish
Love is hopeless
Love is blindLove is patient
Love is selfless
Love is hopefull
Love is kind
Love is jealous
Love is selfish
Love is hopeless
Love is blind
YeahI’ve turned into someone else
14. Rooting For My Baby
Back to bad … and not a cool bad, but a bad bad. The song’s a bit early 90’s pop in a corny, amateur style with some country influence. But, it’s somewhat of a different tunes than the angry and sad tracks regarding Miley’s breakup. This one’s more about telling the one you love to just be happy and not worry.
Don’t worry ’bout me
I’ll get along
Forget about me
Just be happy my loveLet’s say that our little show is over
And so the story ends
Why not call it a day the sensible way
And still be friends
15. On My Own
This song sounds like Miley’s trying to emulate a cross between Michael Jackson and Prince, but the key word here is “trying.” It’s not a great song.
16. Hands In The Air feat. Ludacris

We were crossing our fingers for this one, but maybe we crossed them to tightly and squeezed the coolness out of the track. Sorry, Ludacris, but this one’s a flop, hands down.
