Breakout is the second studio album by American singer
Breakout was met with generally favorable reception from music critics, though some believed the tracks were not a significant departure from the Hannah Montana franchise. The album encountered commercial success and introduced Cyrus in new countries. The album peaked at number one on the
Three singles were released from Breakout. "7 Things" was released on June 17, 2008, as the lead single from the album; it was commercially successful, reaching the top ten on charts in various countries. The second single, "Fly on the Wall" was released on November 4, 2008, as the final single.
Background
"My new songs have a bit more of a different vibe. I finally got to, kinda, step out and do exactly what kind of sound I wanted to do. In my last record, I had to introduce myself and now that people already know who I am and know a little bit about me, this is just, you know, getting to know me personally."[2]

Cyrus believed that compared to previous albums, Breakout was "grown-up"
Recording commenced immediately after the tour came to an end, and seized in March 2008,[9] for Cyrus was to film Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) in Tennessee soon after.[10] She expressed that, through each song, a listener could discover something about her and about themselves.[2] Of connecting with her fans through Breakout, she claimed she wanted "girls to feel to be able to feel empowered and just feel like they can kind of rock out", going on to say that, "listening to this music, I hope they can feel like a reason to dance and just smile and to have fun. This CD is totally age appropriate, specially for me".[7]

"Breakout" was written by
"Fly on the Wall" was written by Cyrus with the aid of Armato, James, and Devrim Karaoglu. "Fly on the Wall" was intended for the media, regarding "how they think they know everything about [her], when they don't. They want to be a fly on my wall and watch [her] 24/7."[16] Cyrus explained it was about attempting to avoid paparazzi but they appeared, "not going away like little annoying flies."[17] Cyrus was inspired to write "Bottom of the Ocean" by her deceased fish, Lyric and Melody, who died when Cyrus was eleven years of age. She said the topic drifted drastically once she began writing. "It's saying if there's someone you've loved but for some reason you can't love them anymore, you have to take your feelings, scoop them out, and put them at the bottom of the ocean."[18] Cyrus, Armato, James, Aaron Dudley co-wrote "Wake Up America", a track about environmentalism. The song was directed towards "the people in the back seat", children of today's generation; she said that, in the future, they would be the ones "driving [the] Earth to what it's gonna be." "It's the only one you got, so you gotta take care of it. And if you don't, there's gonna be, maybe not for you, right then, and your generation but your kids and their kids ... Every generation has a cycle that'll carry on for the rest of eternity", she concluded.[7] Cyrus recorded a cover of Cheyenne Kimball's "Four Walls" from the album The Day Has Come (2006) for Breakout, titled "These Four Walls".[19] The twelfth and final track is a remixed version of the hit "See You Again", referred to as the Rock Mafia Remix and the 2008 Remix; "See You Again" was originally released on the Meet Miley Cyrus disc of Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus.[20]

"7 Things" was released on June 17, 2008, as the lead single from Breakout, through digital distribution.[32] Following the song's release, allegations sparked that it was about Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, which Cyrus neither confirmed nor denied.[33] It received mixed reviews from contemporary critics, several of which compared Cyrus to Avril Lavigne.[21] "7 Things" enjoyed worldwide commercial success, becoming a top ten hit on charts in Australia, Japan, Norway, and the United States.[34] The single was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).[35] The song's accompanying music video was directed by Brett Ratner and features Cyrus performing the song with a back-up band as many teenage girls lipsync along.[36]

A Rock Mafia remix version of "See You Again" was released August 11, 2008 only in countries where the original version was not.[41] The remix was received well by critics for properly combining vocals and music.[22] The remix expanded the success of "See You Again", appearing on charts in Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.[42] "See You Again" (Rock Mafia Remix) was given a promotional music video, taken from a performance at the 2008 Disney Channel Games.[43]

Breakout received generally positive reviews, earning a collective score of 66 out of 100 on
Ben Ratliff of The New York Times said Cyrus' attempt to leave Hannah Montana was weak, only being driven by "more gray thoughts". Ratliff continued, "She eases up on songs with total-affirmation chants about being the captain of her ship ... The lyrics are half-terrible — almost too realistic as teenage thoughts — but the best of them transmit the desired message ... It’s a lackluster album, floated by two or three strong singles."[24] Josh Timmermann of PopMatters believed Breakout was "a just-okay teenpop record with audible suggestions of said singer-songwriter aspirations. To be sure, it’s a stronger collection of songs than Moms and Dads with upturned noses ... would probably expect."[31] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine rated the album two and half stars out of five, being disappointed and deeming the songs not to be a "worthy follow-up" to "See You Again". Cinquemani finished, "For teen-pop, your kid could do worse. You know, like Avril [Lavigne]".[29] Mordechai Shinefield of The Village Voice wrote, "If her lyrical prowess hasn't caught up to her voice yet, that should only hold promise of things to come. She's a rare talent; now she only has to survive until adulthood."[68] Ash Dosanjh of Yahoo! Music gave Breakout seven stars out of ten and referred to Cyrus, in Breakout, as the ideal of the American Dream: "a combination of hard work, good Christian living and un-smutty pop".[22]
In 2017, close to the release of Cyrus' sixth studio album Younger Now, Dan Weiss wrote a critical article for Billboard claiming that Breakout was possibly still Cyrus' best work yet. He claimed that the artist "hasn't necessarily made her best albums during the height of her making headlines" and that the record "was from a simpler time, devoid of thinkpiece fodder or teachable moments". The writer also stated that the album's "final third is a bit too dominated by ballads, but the rest of it is shiny dynamite" pointing that there were two "works of genius" on it: "7 Things" saying that "teen pop has rarely sounded this 'teen' in the years since, and Cyrus' vocal tugs at all the right strings" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" which he wrote "does exactly what a cover should: breathes new life into a tune you thought you couldn't possibly know new things about". Concluding the article, Weiss wrote that Breakout's songs "moved like an arena-rock band fronted by a teenage Pat Benatar, with hammering drum fills and synth accents aplenty".[69]
