Plastic Hearts reframed Miley Cyrus as a rock-leaning artist, built with Andrew Watt, Mark Ronson, and Louis Bell, and she co-wrote across the record. It pairs her with rock figures including Joan Jett, Billy Idol, and Stevie Nicks, while Dua Lipa appears on the pop single "Prisoner." The lead single "Midnight Sky" reached the top twenty and set the album's glam and synth-pop tone.
Plastic Hearts, released in November 2020, is Miley Cyrus's most critically acclaimed album and a high point in her evolution as a songwriter, a hard rock and glam pop record on which she co-wrote virtually every track alongside primary collaborators Andrew Wyatt and Oren Yoel. The album features collaborations with Billy Idol on 'Night Crawling,' Stevie Nicks on 'Edge of Midnight (Midnight Sky Remix),' and Joan Jett on 'Bad Karma,' all of whom co-wrote their respective tracks with Cyrus. 'Midnight Sky,' one of the album's standout tracks and co-written by Cyrus, Wyatt, and Louis Bell, became a top-five hit and showcased her ability to merge stadium rock with contemporary pop production. The album's title track, 'Prisoner' (featuring Dua Lipa), and 'Angels Like You' were all Cyrus co-writes, making this her first album with near-complete authorship across the standard tracklist. Plastic Hearts debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and received widespread critical praise as the record on which Cyrus fully arrived as a songwriter.
