''Hannah Montana Forever'' is the soundtrack album for the fourth and final season of the television series ''Hannah Montana'', released on October 15, 2010 by Walt Disney Records. All eleven tracks are performed by its primary actress Miley Cyrus, and are credited to her titular character Hannah Montana. Recording artists Billy Ray Cyrus, Iyaz, and Sheryl Crow appear as featured vocalists. The soundtrack is primarily a pop record, which sees additional influences from teen pop, pop rock, power pop, dance-pop, and country pop musical styles. The lead single released from the album is "Ordinary Girl", which charted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 at number ninety-one. "Are You Ready" and "Gonna Get This" were both released as promotional singles from ''Hannah Montana Forever''. The latter also managed to peak at number 66 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The album was also promoted via exclusive releases to Radio Disney. ==Background and composition== The opening track "Gonna Get This", a duet with British Virgin Islander Iyaz, was written by Niclas Molinder, Joacim Persson, Johan Alkenas, and Drew Ryan Scott. Iyaz claimed he listened to Cyrus' music very often and that ''Hannah Montana'' was among his favorite television series with others from Disney Channel. "I've been watching the show for a very long time, and finally got the opportunity to do a song with Miley", he said. "Gonna Get This" was recorded in April 2010 rapidly, according to Iyaz, because of his appearance on an episode of ''Hannah Montana''. At first, he arrived to the studio not knowing what to expect and became hesitant but in the end could not believe they "pulled it off".〔 Iyaz described "Gonna Get This" as a track with an edge, claiming Cyrus added her usual signature style while he put an "island twist" on it.〔 The track leaked into the Internet in July 2010, entitled "This Boy, That Girl".〔 Toby Gad contributed to the soundtrack by co-writing "Ordinary Girl", "Que Será", and "Are You Ready". "Are You Ready" was written by Gad, BC Jean, and Lyrica Anderson. The song was recorded for ''Hannah Montana 3'' and leaked on the Internet in November 2008, along with tracks from ''Hannah Montana 3'', yet, was not included in the soundtrack. A duet with Sheryl Crow, guest star on the episode "It's the End of Jake as We Know It", titled "Need a Little Love" was solely penned by Jaime Houston. "Love That Lets Go" is a duet with Billy Ray Cyrus (who portrays Miley's father, Robbie Ray Stewart, on ''Hannah Montana'' and is Cyrus' real father) was composed by Adam Anders and Nikki Hassman. "I'm Still Good" and "Been Here All Along" were written by Jennie Lurie, Aris Archontis, and Chen Neeman. According to Walt Disney Records, ''Hannah Montana Forever'' covers much musical ground, from intimate ballads to direct high-voltage pop. "Gonna Get This" is heavy on synthesizers and Caribbean-based melodies. Musically, the ballad "Ordinary Girl" is a pop song characterized by its mature vocals and percussion-driven instrumentation. Lyrically, "Ordinary Girl" attempts to convince audiences that despite the fame, she is just an everyday person. "Kiss It Goodbye" is an upbeat dance-pop, pop rock number and "I'll Always Remember You" lyrically speaks about the sentiments that occur after a wistful farewell. "Need a Little Love" is rich in pop harmonies. "Are You Ready"'s upbeat sound was inspired by club music.〔 The ballad "Love That Lets Go" is a tribute to Cyrus' and her father's, who duets in the track, close relationship, both on screen and off.〔 "I'm Still Good", an uptempo track with pop rock characteristics in its musical composition, and "Been Here All Along", a ballad about loving someone separated by distance, follow.〔 The closing track on ''Hannah Montana Forever'', "Barefoot Cinderella" was described as an explosion of pop music by Walt Disney Records.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hannah Montana Forever」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
