Miley Cyrus has said that "Meet Miley Cyrus" was "just meeting me, finding out who I am", while "Breakout" was inspired by "what's been going on in my life in the past year". "I wanted to embrace my older audience a little more, kind of taking shackles off and doing the music I wanted to do", Miley Cyrus said of 'Breakout". Miley Cyrus co-wrote all songs on the album apart from four. "Songwriting is what I really want to do with my life forever, I just hope this record showcases that, more than anything, I'm a writer". A majority of the songs are co-written by Antonia and Tim James, the writers of the hit "See You Again". Two of the four songs that Miley Cyrus did not co-write are covers. "These Four Walls" was originally recorded by MTV reality TV star Cheyenne Kimball, appearing on her debut album "The Day Has Come".

New Music Video: Red Blooded Women - You Made Your Bed

When you think of modern day girl bands, you probably think of denim miniskirts, cheap hairspray and fake tan. Now, imagine three powerful confident young women more likely to listen to Kraftwerk than Atomic Kitten, influenced by everything from ABBA and The Carpenters through to Daft Punk and Depeche Mode. Imagine three young women equally obsessed with thrilling modern pop music coming from the likes of Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and The Ting Tings, as they are with 80's electro. Introducing Red Blooded Women... after months of hiding away in several London studios writing with some of the industries most exciting producers, the girls are now set to release their limited edition EP "You Made Your Bed" on 24 August 2008. A taster of what the future holds, the EP will be available for download on the uber-cool electro label Planet Clique alongside the limited edition red vinyl 7" single, allowing pop aficionados the chance to finally get their hands on some RBW sounds. The EP features two effervescent, electro-laced pop tracks equally at home on pop playlists as they are on club dancefloors; "You Made You Bed" and "4 2Nite", plus remixes of "You Made Your Bed" from Eazy, Dreamtrak and Rochelle. Liz from the band says "Just because we're a girl group, a pop group as it were, we don't see why we can't do something a little different. Music that is a little bit awkward and edgy. People kept telling us that we couldn't do it, but the thing is, we're stubborn girls - every time someone used the word can't, we just tried that bit harder. We want to change people's perceptions of what British pop can be".
