"We Can't Stop" is a song by American recording artist Miley Cyrus, taken from her fourth studio album Bangerz (2013). It was released on June 3, 2013 by RCA Records as the lead single from the album. The song was written and produced by Mike Will Made It, P-Nasty, and Rock City, with additional song writing provided by Cyrus, Doug E. Fresh, and Slick Rick. "We Can't Stop" is a pop, R&B, and dance song that talks of a house party and recreational drug use. It was later revealed by Perez Hilton that the idea behind the song was provided by Eminem.


I personally think this music video was successful for the amount of controversy it stirred up. "We Can't Stop" received mixed reviews from music critics, who appreciated its overall production and originality, but were ambivalent towards its lyrical content. Adam Carlson of Entertainment Weekly provided a favorable review, writing that the lyrics were questionable but "infectious", adding that it reminded him of "Kesha on Benadryl. Sam Lansky from Idolator noted that stands apart from other songs recently played on mainstream radio, adding that it "just feels strange, and kind of wonderful", while Los Angeles Times' Mikael Woods labeled it "the calmest, most clear-eyed rebel yell since Janet Jackson's "Control. Sean Daly of Tampa Bay Times and Wall Street Journal staff both appreciated the catchy melody, while Lyndsey Parker fromYahoo! Music felt that "We Can't Stop" acted as a sequel to Cyrus' earlier single "Party in the U.S.A.", with the difference that "she's just partying a little harder now."
