Miley Cyrus has pulled back the curtain on her creative process, sharing raw voice notes from the making of her 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, and reflecting on how ideas transformed from rough mumbles into fully realised songs. The Grammy-winning artist posted the behind-the-scenes audio on Instagram, giving fans a rare window into the evolution of her latest project.

What Cyrus Shared

In her Instagram post, Cyrus described the voice notes as a snapshot of her songwriting journey — ranging from barely articulate sounds to complete, polished concepts. 'Found some voice notes from my writing process for BP. Sometimes it's just mumbles, sometimes a fully realized idea,' she wrote.

She added that revisiting these recordings filled her with appreciation for how the material developed over time. 'Some things changed and some stayed the same but I love hearing the evolution of the songwriting. Wanted to share some of the findings with you!' she concluded in the post.

About Bass Persuades

The album, released on 18 September 2025, was announced by Cyrus on 2 September 2025. In her announcement, she offered a personal meditation on what the title signifies to her.

'My tenth studio album, BASS PERSUADES, is yours September 18th. Music takes hold of us. We feel it, sing it, sometimes dance to it, let it out and carry on. It is powerful, vulnerable, sweet and strong. Heart full, heartache, every part of life in between. That's what the title means to me,' she wrote at the time.

Cyrus's Musical Evolution

The release of Bass Persuades is the latest chapter in a career that has consistently defied easy categorisation. Cyrus first rose to global fame as a child actress before becoming a teen idol through the television series Hannah Montana. Her music career launched with the US number-one pop rock albums Meet Miley Cyrus and Breakout, while the single 'Party in the U.S.A.' became one of her best-selling tracks.

A deliberate artistic pivot came with Bangerz in 2013, a trap-pop and R&B record featuring 'We Can't Stop' and her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one, 'Wrecking Ball'. She subsequently explored psychedelic, country, and rock influences across Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, Younger Now, and Plastic Hearts, cementing a reputation as one of pop's most restless experimenters.

Why It Matters

Sharing voice notes from a recording session is uncommon for major artists, who typically guard their creative process closely. For Cyrus, the gesture reflects a recurring trend in her public persona — an openness about artistic vulnerability that has deepened her connection with a devoted fanbase. This comes as Bass Persuades enters its first week of tracking and reviews, making the behind-the-scenes content a timely way to sustain momentum around the release.
