Cyrus, a daughter of country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, emerged as a teen idol while portraying the title character of the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana (2006–2011). As Hannah Montana, she attained two number-one and three top-five soundtracks on the US Billboard 200, including the US Billboard Hot 100 top-ten single "He Could Be the One". Cyrus' own discography includes the US number-one albums Meet Miley Cyrus, Breakout and Bangerz; the top-five releases Can't Be Tamed, Younger Now, Plastic Hearts and Endless Summer Vacation. Her discography also includes 2015’s Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz which was released for free on SoundCloud before being released on digital and streaming services in the following years. Cyrus' EPs The Time of Our Lives and She Is Coming also debuted in the top-five. Endless Summer is Cyrus’ most acclaimed record stabling at Metacritic with a critical acclaim score of 79. Plastic Hearts was Cyrus' most acclaimed record before that, and her first entry on the Billboard Rock Chart, debuting atop the chart. It included the lead single "Midnight Sky". Her other singles include the US top ten-charting "See You Again", "7 Things", "The Climb", "Party in the U.S.A.", "Can't Be Tamed", "We Can't Stop", "Malibu", "Without You"; and the chart-topping "Wrecking Ball".

Cyrus' career accolades include making the Time 100 list in 2008 and also in 2014, being named MTV's Best Artist of 2013 Award, and appearing on Billboard's Greatest of All Time Artists Chart in 2019. She is regarded as one of the few examples of successful child actors-turned-singers. As an actress, Cyrus has made appearances in the animated film Bolt (2008) and the feature films Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) and The Last Song (2010). On television Cyrus served as a coach on the singing competition series The Voice for two seasons, and starred in the episode "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" from the Netflix series Black Mirror (2019).

If you're five or eighty two
This is somethin' you can do
Pop it, lock it
Polka dot it
Countrify then hip hop it
Put your hawk in the sky
Side to side
Jump to the left
Stick it, glide
Zig zag cross the floor
Shuffle in diagonal
When the drum hits
Hands on your hips
One foot it, 180 twist
And then a, zig zag
Step, slide
Lean it left
Clap three times
Shake it out
Head to toe
Throw it all together
That's how we roll
Do the hoedown (throwdown)
Do the hoedown (throwdown)
Do the hoedown (throwdown)
Throw it all together

We get to four, five, six
And you're feelin' busted
But it's not time to quit
Practice makes you perfect
