"We Can't Stop" is a song by American recording artist Miley Cyrus, taken from her fourth studio album ''Bangerz'' (2013). It was released on June 3, 2013 by RCA Records as the lead single from the album. The song was written and produced by Mike Will Made It, P-Nasty, and Rock City, with additional songwriting provided by Cyrus, Doug E. Fresh, and Slick Rick. "We Can't Stop" is a dance-pop and R&B song that talks of a house party and recreational drug use. "We Can't Stop" received mixed reviews from music critics, who appreciated its overall production but were scathing towards its lyrical content. It peaked at number two on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and tied her earlier track "Party in the U.S.A." (2009) as her highest-peaking single in the country at the time. As of January 2014, it had sold over two million copies in the United States. The song experienced varying success internationally; it reached the peak position in countries including New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and peaked moderately in several national record charts in Europe. An accompanying music video for "We Can't Stop" was released on June 19, 2013. It received generally mixed reviews from critics, who were divided in their opinions regarding Cyrus' increasingly provocative image. With 10.7 million views in the first twenty-four hours of its release, the clip held the record for having the most views in that time-frame across Vevo platforms; after reaching 100 million views within thirty-seven days, it also set the record for being the fastest music video to attain a Vevo certification. (Both records were eventually broken by the music video for Cyrus' follow-up single "Wrecking Ball" in September 2013.) "We Can't Stop" was additionally promoted with a highly controversial performance during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. ==Background== In 2012, Cyrus announced plans to focus on her film career, effectively putting her musical endeavors on hiatus. That year, she appeared in the films ''LOL'' and ''So Undercover''. She was also confirmed as a primary voice actress in the feature film ''Hotel Transylvania'', but dropped out of the project to coordinate a musical comeback. In January 2013, Cyrus ended her recording contract with Hollywood Records, under which she released the studio albums ''Meet Miley Cyrus'' (2007), ''Breakout'' (2008), ''Can't Be Tamed'' (2010), and the extended play (EP) ''The Time of Our Lives'' (2009). Later that month, she signed a recording contract with RCA Records. In March, she confirmed that her fourth studio album would be released by the end of 2013. Production duo Rock City stated that "We Can't Stop" was originally written with recording artist Rihanna in mind before offering it to record producer Mike Will Made It, who ultimately offered it to Cyrus. They felt that "this could be somebody’s first single", and decided against Rihanna because of the commercial success of her track "Diamonds" in 2012. Cyrus commented that "it really just turned out to be perfect and exactly what I wanted, and exactly what I wanted my first sound to be, and my first look to be".〔 During the 2013 ''Billboard'' Music Awards on May 19, 2013, Cyrus announced that the track would be released on June 3. The cover artwork for "We Can't Stop" was unveiled in a billboard in Times Square on May 28. It shows the arms of two people holding Solo Cups, with several people in the background; Cyrus is notably absent from the image. Cyrus herself appeared on ''On Air with Ryan Seacrest'' on June 3 to premiere the track on the radio program, hosted by Ryan Seacrest. Lena Horowitz's novel ''Dancing with Molly'', about a girl's experiences with MDMA and the short-term and long-term effects it has on her life, takes its title from a lyric of Cyrus's song. 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「We Can't Stop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
