"Wrecking Ball" is apop ballad;[7][8]Sheet music for the song shows oneflatin common time with a slowtempo.[9]Vocals span from the low note of F3to the high note of B♭4.[10]Miriam Coleman ofRolling Stonenoted that it begins with aminimalistkeyboard instrumentation, which puts emphasis on Cyrus "anguished vocals", and also described it as a "heartbroken counterpoint" to "We Can't Stop".[7]Cyrus said that "Wrecking Ball" was inspired by "OneRepublic,and the wayTimbalandused to do those big ballads. "[11]

Critical reception

edit

"Wrecking Ball" was met with praise frommusic critics.Writing forThe A.V. Club,Marah Eakin provided a favorable review, calling it a "solid ballad" and describing it as "a modern day 'My Heart Will Go On' that discussed a deteriorated, shortlived young romance. "[12]Kitty EmpirefromThe Observeropined that "the heartbreak section ofBangerzmostly repays your attention "and mentioned" Wrecking Ball "to be a part of it.[13]Although he found the song "predictable," Evan Sawdey ofPopMattersgave it an overall positive review and complimented its production and the build up to its chorus, calling it "the kind of broad mainstream song that shows you how to properly build up to a chorus before hitting us over the head with it.[14]Jon Dolan ofRolling Stonefelt that it "[rides] the hunger and confusion that make great coming-of-age pop."[15]Writing forAllMusic,Heather Phares considered the track to be a standout fromBangerz.[1]

Writing forDigital Spy,Robert Copsey questioned Cyrus' decision to premiere a ballad in the midst of controversies regarding her "salacious exploits", but enjoyed the song itself and opined that it "proves that there's method behind the madness."[16]In a more mixed review, Joseph Atilano from thePhilippine Daily Inquirerappreciated the lyrics for seeming heartfelt, but felt that its production was "comparatively weaker" by comparison to her earlier projects.[17]Mikael Wood of theLos Angeles Timesfelt that the track proved that Cyrus "isn't just atwerk-bot programmed to titillate ", but suggested that her" singing throbs with what feels like an embarrassment of emotion "and found it peculiar that the song discussed the singer's relationship with Hemsworth when her public behavior seemingly suggested that she" couldn't care less about "it.[18]

After a month of voting, on March 31, 2014,Billboarddeclared the song to be the winner of the 2014 Hot 100 March Madness and their favorite Top 5 single from the past year. It defeated songs like "Holy Grail"byJay-ZandJustin Timberlake,"Best Song Ever"byOne Direction,"Applause"byLady Gaga,"Timber"byPitbullandKeshaand finally "Just Give Me a Reason"byPinkandNate Ruess.[19]

Music video

edit

Synopsis

edit

An accompanying music video for "Wrecking Ball" was directed byTerry Richardson,and was premiered throughVevoon September 9, 2013. The clip features close-up footage of Cyrus emotionally singing to the camera against a white backdrop, having been inspired by the music video for "Nothing Compares 2 U"bySinéad O'Connor.[36]Interspersed throughout are scenes of Cyrus licking asledgehammerand swinging on a wrecking ball. At first, she is shown dressed in a midriff-baring tank top, panties andDoc Martensboots; as the video progresses, she is then shown wearing only the boots.[37]

Reception

edit

"I think the video is much more, if people get past the point that I'm naked and you actually look at me you can tell that I actually look more broken than even the song sounds. The song is a pop ballad. It's one of these songs that everyone is going to relate to, everyone has felt that feeling at one point. If people can take their minds out of the obvious and go into their imagination a little bit and see kind of what the video really means and the way it's so vulnerable and actually if you look in my eyes I look more sad than my voice sounds on the record it was a lot harder to do the video than it was to record the songs. It was much more of an emotional experience."

—Cyrus defending the concept of the music video[38]

The music video received generally mixed reviews from critics, who were divided in their opinions regarding Cyrus's increasingly provocative image. Writing forBillboard,Jason Lipshutz stated that the "nude Cyrus shown straddling a swinging wrecking ball" was the most surprising piece of the clip.[8]The staff fromEntertainment Weeklyjoked that viewers would be "scandalized/titillated/disappointed inBilly Ray Cyrus's parenting skills "after seeing his daughter nude and" fellating a sledgehammer ".[39]Writing forThe Guardian,Michael Hann criticized Cyrus's attempts to distance herself from her innocentHannah Montanaimage, a former television series in which Cyrus portrayed the primary characterMiley Stewart,a middle school student who led a secret double life as pop starHannah Montana.He disapproved of the manner in which she transitioned into a career beyond her childhood success, specifically panning her for "exploring the iconography of porn."[40]As of January 2015,Billboardnamed the video as the fourth-best music video of the 2010s (so far).[41]

James Montgomery fromMTV Newsnoted that the controversy surrounding Cyrus's nudity in the video was "to be expected" given her recent controversies, and complimented Richardson "for toning down thesalaciousscenes (if only for an instant), and allowing the softer, more genuine sides to shine through. "[42]Mikael Wood of theLos Angeles Timesopined that the music video tried to paint Cyrus in a more serious light with its scenes of her emotionally singing and crying.[43]

Billboardeditor Jason Lipshutz opined "Wrecking Ball" is Cyrus's "Cry Me a River",for their controversial music videos and the artists' music evolution." A decade ago,Justin Timberlakewas in "My music will shut everyone up" mode, too, as he railed against a teenybopper image ". He concluded," Cyrus is breathtaking and talented, and, now that she has our attention with her own version of "Cry Me a River," can dial down the shock tactics and present her artistic vision in the form of a new full-length. "[44]

Sinéad O'Connor,who was an inspiration for aspects of the music video based on her rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U",praised Cyrus's singing talent but expressed concern about her being" prostituted "by the music industry through her alleged sexualization, going as far to pen an open letter to admonish Cyrus. Cyrus did not react well to the letter, kickstarting a prolonged Twitter beef between the two of them, feuding on personal grounds (including O'Connor's mental health); nevertheless, the two maintained mutual respect for each other's musical ability.[45][46]

With 19.3 million views in the first twenty-four hours of its release, the music video held the record for having the most views in that time-frame across Vevo platforms. This record was held byOne Direction's music video for "Best Song Ever",which amased 10.9 million views in July.[47]The first-day viewing record was surpassed by the video for "Anaconda"byNicki Minajin August 2014, which received 19.6 million views upon its premiere.[48]The video has received over 1.0 billion views onYouTube.[49]A director's cut of the music video was released on September 24, which features only the close-up footage of Cyrus singing against the white backdrop. Vanessa White Wolf fromMTV Newsnoted that "the only time Richardson cuts away is at the very end, where, after a quick director's credit page, we see Terry and Miley laughing and mugging for the camera."[50]

The 2014 Australian art prize theBald Archywas awarded to Judy Nadin forWrecking Balls Ashes to Ashes,parodyingcricketerMitchell Johnsonas Cyrus.[51]

In an interview in 2017, Cyrus stated that she is not "a big fan" of the music video herself. "'Wrecking Ball' -- I'll do it, but I don't love it... It's when you're so stoked about something and then you have to sing a song that bums you out. And I'll never live down when I licked a sledgehammer."[52]

It was the highlight of the night, and not because of anything visual. The costumed characters vanished and the screen was black, with Cyrus belting out one of the best pop power ballads in recent memory with only a smattering of lights. It's a reminder that beneath it all, Cyrus has a voice — and a pretty big one, at that."[75]
