Miley has dropped her last name — and her new single, “Bass Persuades.” Just like Charli XCX declared the “dance floor is dead,” Miley has declared, “The kids don’t wanna dance” on her propulsive new dance pop song. Despite teasing the track with a clip that featured the singer slinging the same Fender Stratocaster from her album teaser visual, “Bass Persuades” is meant to get you onto the dance floor, rather than into the mosh pit. Along with the track, Miley has also shared a dance-forward video.
Directed by Mert Alas, the visual finds the singer at her full pop star best as she inspires a New York poker club to dance with her. Or maybe it’s the bass persuading them? Bass Persuades, the album, is the follow-up to Miley’s 2025 LP Something Beautiful and her first album under new label home Atlantic Records.
Along with the album announcement and lead single, Miley also shared that she will be taking the stage this fall when she headlines tow nights at the Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 16 and Oct. 18. The shows will mark her first full concert in the U.S. since 2021. It’s all gearing up to be an exciting new era for Miley.
She added: “I sincerely hope you love this album.”
