Album Of The Day: Miley Cyrus - Breakout

"Breakout" is the second solo studio album by American teen pop singer Miley Cyrus. It was released under Hollywood Records on 22 July 2008. "Breakout" is the first album by Miley Cyrus that does not have any affiliation to the Hannah Montana character. 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". Coincidentally, Cheyenne Kimball also has a song titled "Full Circle", but Miley Cyrus's song of the same name is an original composition. Miley Cyrus also covered Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". As noted below, all songs except "These Four Walls" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" were co-written byMiley  Cyrus. "Breakout", it was given to Miley Cyrus by another artist who decided not to use the song for their own album. Miley Cyrus performed a free concert at Bryant Park on 18 July 2008, as a part of Good Morning America's summer concert series.
