Miley Cyrus Bangerz Unreleased «LIMITED — OVERVIEW»

According to session insiders, Bangerz went through multiple tracklist overhauls. RCA wanted streamlined hits; Miley wanted chaos. Some unreleased songs were cut for sample clearance issues, others for tone (too rock, too weird, too explicit). A few were held back because Miley felt they were “too personal”—or “not personal enough.”

While many instrumentals remain lost, three major vocal tracks have surfaced that define the Miley Cyrus Bangerz unreleased lexicon.

It has been a decade since Miley Cyrus swung into our lives on a wrecking ball, forever altering the landscape of pop culture. While the Bangerz era is often remembered for the controversy, the foam fingers, and the cultural shift from Disney darling to rap-pop provocateur, it is also remembered by stans and producers as one of the most fertile creative periods in modern pop history.

The standard edition of Bangerz gave us 13 tracks. The deluxe added a few more. But the reality is that the recording sessions for this album yielded dozens of songs, fragments, and concepts that never saw the light of day. These tracks represent the "Shadow Bangerz"—a grittier, experimental, and sometimes unfinished version of the album that could have been. According to session insiders, Bangerz went through multiple

Today, we’re opening the vault to look at the most notable unreleased tracks and demos from the Bangerz era.

An investigative, narrative feature exploring the story behind unreleased tracks from Miley Cyrus’s 2013 Bangerz era: why some songs never made the album, how they reflect her artistic transition, and what they reveal about creative control, label decisions, and fandom archaeology.

These tracks have either leaked, been registered on publishing databases (ASCAP/BMI), or confirmed by insiders.

| Song Title | Status | Notes | |------------|--------|-------| | "Nightmare" | Leaked (2015) | Full, high-quality. A dark, anthemic electro-pop track. Often mislabeled as a Bangerz outtake but recorded later (early 2015). Still sonically fits the era. | | "Bad Bitch" | Leaked (2020) | Features Cuban Doll. Explicit, trap-heavy. Recorded during Bangerz sessions. | | "The Floyd Song (Sunrise)" | Leaked (2013) | Slow, emotional ballad about her late dog, Floyd. Raw vocals, minimal production. | | "4x4" | Leaked (partial) | Only low-quality snippet. Features Juicy J. | | "I’m Not Crazy" | Registered on ASCAP | Co-written by Miley and Mike Will Made-It. Unheard. | | "I’m Your Dog" | Registered | Dark, provocative title. No audio. | | "Dirty Mouth" | Registered | Likely a rap-leaning track. | | "Kissing You" | Registered | Possibly a Des’ree cover (from Romeo + Juliet). Unknown if recorded. |

Perhaps the most mythical track from these sessions is the rumored "Black Window." For years, fan forums have circulated rumors of a dark, trap-influenced track that was allegedly co-written with Stacy Barthe. While a full studio leak has never been confirmed (or if it has, it’s buried deep in obscure SoundCloud archives), the description alone—a moody, industrial counterpoint to the glossy "We Can't Stop"—sounds exactly like the Bangerz the public wasn't ready for.
