Miley Cyrus has a new single on the market, aiming to tackle phone addiction. The Grammy winner released "Bass Persuades" on September 3rd, as the lead track for her upcoming 10th album of the same name. The song takes aim at our collective phone obsession and encourages listeners to hit the dance floor instead. The accompanying music video, directed by Mert Alas, reflects the song's theme, showcasing Cyrus donning various outfits and leading a crowd in a dance routine.
Cyrus also announced that she will be dropping her surname and adopting "Miley" for her new era, further solidifying her rebranding. The 10-track album follows her 2025 release, "Something Beautiful," and Cyrus had been subtly hinting at the new music throughout August, including red-tinted photos on August 30 and a black-and-white electric guitar video two days later.
