Miley Drops ‘Bass Persuades’ Single and Video Ahead of Sept. 18 Album

The release marks a mononymous rebrand and signals a dance-pop era released on Atlantic Records.

Overview

  • The single and its Mert Alas-directed video were released Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026, as the first public preview of the project.
  • The title album, Bass Persuades, is a 10-track record scheduled for release on Sept. 18 via Atlantic Records and is her first project after leaving Columbia.
  • The song leans into dance-pop with ’80s-style synths and spoken-word phrasing, a clear push to get listeners back onto the dance floor.
  • Visual and credit details emphasize leather-culture imagery in the video and contributions from New York art-punks Model/Actriz, with other collaborators named during the rollout.
  • Miley announced two Hollywood Bowl concerts to celebrate the album but coverage conflicts on the second date (reported as Oct. 17 or Oct. 18), so buyers should check official ticketing for the final schedule.
