“Wrecking Ball" is a song performed by American
recording artist Miley Cyrus for her fourth studio album Bangerz (2013).
It was released on August 25, 2013, by RCA Records as the second
single from the record. It was written by MoZella, Stephan Moccio, Sacha
Skarbek, Lukasz Gottwald (Dr. Luke), and Henry Russell Walter
(Cirkut). It was produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut. "Wrecking Ball" is
a pop ballad which lyrically discusses the deterioration of a
relationship; it has been widely speculated to have been inspired by Cyrus'
former fiancé Liam Hemsworth.

the nudity which caused a lot of controversy. The clip received generally mixed
review from critics, who were divided in their opinions regarding Cyrus'
increasingly provocative image. Writing for Billboard, Jason Lipshutz stated
that the "nude Cyrus shown straddling a swinging wrecking ball" was
the most surprising piece of the clip. Amelia Proud from Daily Mail
provided a mixed review, commenting that Cyrus delivered a visual that was more
provocative than its "boisterous" predecessor "We Can't
Stop" and questioned if she "finally gone too far this
time". The staff from Entertainment Weekly joked that viewers would be
"scandalized/titillated/disappointed in Billy Ray Cyrus' parenting
skills" after seeing his daughter nude and "fellating a sledgehammer." Writing for The Guardian, Michael Hann criticized Cyrus' attempts to distance
herself from her Hannah Montana image, saying that "what's startling about
Cyrus' journey is the extent of the embrace" and panning her for "exploring
the iconography of porn
