Breakout

Breakout is the second studio album by American recording artist Miley Cyrus, released on July 22, 2008, by Hollywood Records. Its title was influenced in being Cyrus’ first record not affiliated with the Hannah Montana franchise, coupled by her fondness for its title track. Cyrus composed many of the songs on Breakout as she traveled on the Best of Both Worlds Tour (2007–08), co-writing eight of the album’s 13 new songs. Most songs feature writing credits for Antonina Armato and Tim James. Overall, Breakout is dominant on pop rock but explores a variety of other musical genres. Lyrical themes addressed in the album relate to breakups and coming of age.
