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.

Breakout
Breakout

You know I look good in stripes
Take my picture with my number
But the jailhouse ain't my type
I can't stand it any longer

Ooh baby, I've got to breakout
Ooh baby, I've got to breakout

Jailbreak, sweet escape
Let's crush the walls down
Jailbreak, sweet escape
Get off the ground

Chains can't hold me
(Can't hold me down)
Breakout, got to breakout
Breakout, got to breakout

Tip-toe slowly
When all lights out gonna hit the floor
Breakout, got to breakout
Breakout, got to breakout

Ooh, cant catch me because I'm cool
Ooh, cant catch me because I'm cool
Breakout

It's too dark to see
You know that this could mean disaster
Got the spotlight chasing me
But my feet are moving faster

Ooh baby, I've got to breakout
Ooh baby, I've got to breakout

Jailbreak sweet escape
Let's crush the walls down
Jailbreak sweet escape
Get off the ground

Chains can't hold me
(Can't hold me down)
Breakout, got to breakout
Breakout, got to breakout

Ooh can't catch me 'cause I'm cool
Ooh can't catch me 'cause I'm cool
Breakout

Break, break, break, breakout
Get off the ground

Chains can't hold me
(Can't hold me down)
Breakout, got to breakout
Breakout, got to breakout

Tip-toe slowly
When all lights out gonna hit the floor
Breakout, got to breakout
Breakout, got to breakout

Ooh, cant catch me 'cause I'm cool
(Can't hold me down)
Ooh, cant catch me because I'm cool
(I got to breakout)
