The song is a pop ballad that everyone can relate to; everyone has felt that feeling at some point. If people can take their minds off the obvious and go into their imagination and see what the video really means, it is so vulnerable.
That Miley's 'Wrecking Ball' became her first No. 1 single is no surprise — it's one of the great showcases of her truest talents. A high-water mark in the current hits-by-committee era, the song was originally penned in a session for Beyoncé. With Miley drawing 'wrecked' to four syllables, the woeful vulnerability of this break-up ballad infused undeniable depth into the controversy-courting roll out of Bangerz that set to singe her Disney image from collective memory.
Beyoncé song now becoming a Miley Cyrus song?! Good/bad? I don't know??!!!!
MoZella was extremely emotional that day. She was very frail because she had broken off her wedding during that week. She almost didn't end up making the session. 'Wrecking Ball' is about MoZell'as toxic relationship and then the courage to say, 'I can't go through with this.' … We all wanted a strong metaphor as a title and we were just throwing out words. I remember kind of shyly putting up my han d and saying 'What about 'Wrecking Ball'?' And Sacha went, 'Yeah, 'Wrecking Ball,' that sounds good.' And MoZella kind of ran with that.
