Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed Album

Can't Be Tamed was recorded as Cyrus traveled the world, largely due to the Wonder World Tour. In December 2009, she begun the recording process in London, England. Album producer John Shanks, who previously produced Cyrus' hit single "The Climb", affiliated with Cyrus for the album and, in order to do so, navigated via airplane to different locations. Shanks would repeatedly travel to London in order to fulfill recording and writing sessions with Cyrus. Then, he would return to Los Angeles, California to continue further work on the tracks. The head of A&R at Hollywood Records, Jon Lind, said, "John spent quite a bit of time, God bless him [...] He was really a soldier and a world traveler for going to do this creative thing in between Miley's schedule."

Miley Cyrus intends to take a musical hiatus after completing Can't Be Tamed in order to explore a variety of musical genres and develop a sound befitting her tastes. Cyrus stated that her music isn't inspiring her the way it should be, and hopes Can't Be Tamed will be her last pop album. "The more I make music that doesn't truly inspire me, the more I feel like I'm blending in with everyone else", she said. Cyrus originally desired for a new, more rock inclined sound for her music. She later revealed Can't Be Tamed contained music influenced by pop singer Lady Gaga and possessed techno qualities. "It was a natural progression for her," said Abbey Konowitch, general manager of Hollywood Records. He commented that the album was more dance-pop than originally intended. "But it feels very comfortable for her, and it feels very comfortable in terms of the state of contemporary music".
