In the lead up to the release, Cyrus dropped "Cyrus" from her Instagram handle and began referring to herself simply as "Miley," signaling the start of a distinct new era. She announced the album on September 1, 2026, following a week of cryptic teasers that included a billboard and a social media post reading only "Miley."

Built around driving synths, the song invites listeners to give themselves over to the music and "surrender to the night."

Level 4 — Advanced
Miley Cyrus has unveiled "Bass Persuades," her tenth studio album, released through Atlantic Records on September 18, 2026, in a rollout that positions the record as both a musical statement and a rebranding exercise. For the first time in her career, Cyrus is promoting a project under a single name, having quietly excised "Cyrus" from her Instagram handle in favor of the simpler, more intimate "Miley."
The announcement, made on September 1, 2026, followed a week of deliberately cryptic promotion, a billboard campaign and a social media post consisting of nothing more than the word "Miley," a minimalist gesture calibrated to generate speculation ahead of the formal unveiling.
The lead single and title track, "Bass Persuades," released September 3, 2026, is a synth driven pop composition built around an invitation to abandon restraint and "surrender to the night." Across its ten tracks, the album folds in a handful of notable collaborators, "Different Religion" enlists the band Model/Actriz, while "Neon Signs" features Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow, rounding out a tracklist that also includes "Let's Get Married," "Orbit," "Aftermath," "REDLIGHTS," "Innocent Ways," "Snow," and a closing remix, "Bass Persuades Remixx."
The record follows 2025's "Something Beautiful," which yielded the singles "End of the World" and "Easy Lover," and arrives alongside a planned run of shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It is the latest turn in a career that began with Cyrus as a child star on the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" and has since evolved through numerous reinventions of her pop persona.
