Miley Cyrus performance as "cringe-worthy". Cyrus released "Wrecking Ball" (2013) as the second single from "Bangerz" on the same day as the VMAs. The song became an instant hit, and its accompanying music video showing her swinging naked on a wrecking ball was viewed over nineteen million times within its first day of release. The single became Cyrus' first single to top the Hot 100 chart in the United States having sold over two million copies. After months of media speculation, on September 16, 2013, a representative for Cyrus announced that she and Hemsworth had decided to call off their engagement, ending
Drive (Miley Cyrus song) song, writing, "Mike WiLL steps outside of his 'thunderous' signature all over "Bangerz"; on Someone Else and Drive, he approaches EDM on his own pop-rap terms, asking Cyrus' 'Jolene' twang and jackhammer buzz to serve his complex arrangements, rather than dropping some 808s on top of a dustep drop. 'Drive', which I favor, has no grandiose drop, just a stubborn pulse that gives the song its appealing undercurrent of ugly, tightly coiled strength." An episode of "MTV Unplugged" starring Cyrus premiered through MTV on January 29, 2014; she performed an acoustic version of "Drive", among several additional tracks from "Bangerz".
