"Breakout" is a song by American singer Miley Cyrus. It was released on her second album of the same name as its opening track. The track was originally recorded by American singer Katy Perry as a demo track for her 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 rock song whose instrumentation includes keyboard, guitar, and drums while lyrics discuss growing up and being carefree.[2]
Contemporary critics received "Breakout" very well, appreciating its lyrical content. Digital downloads began immediately after the Breakout's release on July 22, 2008, and it charted at numbers 45 in Canada, 56 in the United States, and 94 in Australia. 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.
