Younger Now is the upcoming sixth studio album by American recording artist Miley Cyrus. It is scheduled to be released on September 29, 2017, by RCA Records. The record is her first full-length project since Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015), and her first commercially-released project since Bangerz (2013). Cyrus began planning a commercial follow-up record to Bangerz after releasing her 5th studio album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz in Spring of 2016,[1] although later became influenced by her reconciliation with fiancé Liam Hemsworth in 2016. Younger Now was written and produced by Cyrus and Oren Yoel, with whom she had collaborated on her previous two full-lengths. Not concerning herself with radio airplay, their efforts resulted in an "honest" final product that sees Cyrus "leaning into her roots."[2]

"Malibu" and the title track "Younger Now" were respectively released as singles from the parent record on May 11 and August 18, 2017; the former peaked at number ten on the US Billboard Hot 100. Looking to remove herself from the provocative reputation she had developed while promoting Bangerz, promotional efforts for Younger Now associated Cyrus with an increasingly conservative image.[3] She performed during several television programs, including the 2017 Billboard Music Awards and the upcoming 2017 MTV Video Music Awards.

Background and release

Cyrus announced the album on August 8, 2017, by posting via her website the title of the album in a ropey script on the back of a bedazzled black faux leather jacket and the release date spelt out in metal studs. It is set to be released in September 29 of the same year.[4][5] The title track was released as a single on August 18, 2017, alongside with the album, which was made available for pre-order.

Singles

"Malibu" was released as the lead single from Younger Now on May 11, 2017, and has peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[4] On August 13, 2017, Cyrus announced that the second single from the album, "Younger Now", would be officially released on August 18.[6]

Promotional singles

"Inspired" was released as a promotional single from Younger Now on June 9, 2017.[7]
