About Breakout

"Breakout" is a song by American recording artist Miley Cyrus. It was released to Radio Disney as promotion for Cyrus' second album of the same name. It was originally recorded by American pop singer Katy Perry as a demo track for her debut album One of the Boys but due to not being included in the album, the song was passed on to Cyrus. "Breakout" is a pop song whose instrumentation includes keyboard, guitar, and drums while lyrics discuss growing up and being carefree. Contemporary critics received "Breakout" very well, appreciating its lyrical content. Digital downloads began immediately after the Breakout's release on July 22, 2008, and led to commercial success in Australia, Canada, and the United States; its highest international peak was at number forty-five on the Canadian Hot 100. Cyrus performed the song in several venues; her first, in the 2008 Disney Channel Games was used as a promotional music video and on her first world tour, the Wonder World Tour, it was the opening number.

Every week's the same
Stuck in school, so lame
My parents say that I'm lazy
Getting up at eight a.m., is crazy
Tired being told what to do
So unfair
So uncool

Day's too long
And I'm holding on
Till I hear the bell ring
'Cause it's the time when, the time when

We're gonna breakout,
Let the party start,
We're gonna stay out,
Gonna break some hearts,
We're gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart,
Uh-oh! all over again,

We're gonna wake up,
Everyone we know,
We're gonna have some fun,
Gonna lose control,
Feels so good, to let go-oh-oh

Hangin' out is just something we like to do
With my friends and the mess we get into,
These are the lessons that we choose
Not a buck for the things we'll never use

The day's too long
And I'm holding on
Till I hear the bell ring
Cause it's the time when, the time when

We're gonna breakout,
Let the party start,
We're gonna stay out,
Gonna break some hearts,
We're gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart,
Uh-Oh! all over again,

We're gonna breakout,
Everyone we know,
We're gonna have some fun,
We're gonna lose control,
It feels so good,to let go

I wish it would never end
Spendin' time with my friend
Oh, with my friends

We're gonna breakout,
Let the party start,
We're gonna stay out,
Gonna break some hearts,
We're gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart,
Uh-oh! all over again,

We're gonna wake up,
Everyone we know,
We're gonna have some fun,
We're gonna lose control,
It feels so good,to let go

We're gonna breakout,
Let the party start,
We're gonna stay out,
Gonna break some hearts,
We're gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart,
Uh-oh! all over again,

We're gonna wake up,
Everyone we know,
We're gonna have some fun,
We're gonna lose control,
It feels so good, to let go
