Some of the songs, such as 7 Things or Full Circle , Cyrus wrote about her former partner Nick Jonas shortly after the breakup, which also influenced their sound.
Musical style
The album mainly contains songs from the field of pop-rock . However, some songs also have influences from other genres, for example breakout , which falls into the dance-pop category . The album features both fast dance songs and ballads.
