Lyrics
We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain
We kissed, I fell under your spell
A love no one could deny
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Review
"Wrecking Ball" is a song recorded by American singer Miley Cyrus for her upcoming fourth studio album, Bangerz (2013). The song was released as a digital download on August 25, 2013. It was sent to American radio on September 16, 2013. "Wrecking Ball" was written by Lukasz Gottwald, Maureen Anne McDonald, Stephan Moccio, Sacha Skarbek and Henry Russell Walter. The song was produced by Dr. Luke and Henry Russell Walter under his production name, Cirkut. Both the song and its music video received mixed reviews from critics. It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, becoming her first number one hit in the country.
Upon its release, the song received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Complex wrote: "This song seems to be a very personal one for the young singer, as she addresses love and heart break in a very passionate manner" and described it as a "drastic departure" from the "happy-go-lucky content" of We Can't Stop.[17] Popdust described it as "a power ballad from the '80s or a Demi Lovato song. A little angsty, but certainly a nice foil to the debauchery of 'We Can’t Stop'."[18] HitFix gave it a "D+" grade, saying: "is a blunt-force instrument of pop songcraft that could've easily been sung by Katy Perry and in that sense it more than lives up to its central metaphor. But while the song is fine in its quieter moments, it's so overwrought on the chorus that, like the tune's narrator (who I'll assume to be Cyrus herself), it tries to "force" its way in when it should have trusted its audience to get the message without being battered by it."[19]
PMC-Magazine named it #1 in their Top Ten Anti-Work Anthems for Labor Day.[20] It was nominated for Best Song at the 2013 World Music Awards.
