Miley Cyrus Leads a Steamy Dance Floor Revolution With New Single and Video for ‘Bass Persuades’

Miley Cyrus has launched her new era with the release of "Bass Persuades," the title track and lead single from her upcoming tenth album. The album, titled "Bass Persuades," will be available on September 18th via Atlantic Records, marking her return to the studio after the 2025 release of "Something Beautiful." Cyrus has also shed the "Cyrus" moniker from her stage name.

To accompany the album, Cyrus will headline two shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 16th and 18th. Tickets for the public will be available starting September 11th via Ticketmaster.

"Bass Persuades" is technically Miley's second new song of 2026, as she also released the song "Younger You" for the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special. While the track maintains a familiar sound and aesthetic, it draws noticeable parallels to Madonna's style, evoking memories of PJ Harvey's "This Is Love" music video. The video for "Bass Persuades" hints at a potential new era for Cyrus in the music industry. The single can be streamed now.
