Plastic Hearts is the seventh studio album by American singer Miley Cyrus
Cyrus first teased the mood and topics of her seventh studio album in a 2019 interview, stating:
> I like to kind of just be genderless, I like feeling genre-less. [So this album will be] kind of a mosaic of all the things that I’ve been before.
Cyrus has also stated that she lost all her progress on the album when her house burned down in the Woolsey-Malibu Fire in November 2018. Despite these setbacks, Cyrus persevered and Plastic Hearts debuted at number one on the US Billboard Top Rock Albums chart and number two on the Billboard 200. The album received positive reviews from music critics, with Shaad D'Souza from Pitchfork describing it as a "genuinely pleasing, though sometimes hamfisted record that staves off the awkwardness and missteps that plagued her previous albums".
Three singles were released from the album: "Midnight Sky", "Prisoner", and "Angels Like You". "Midnight Sky" was released as the lead single on 14 August 2020, with "Prisoner", a collaboration with British singer Dua Lipa, following as the second single on 19 November 2020. Fans who pre-ordered the album also received covers of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and the Cranberries' "Zombie".
