This album was released on March 24, 2009, by Walt Disney Records.[3] All of the songs in the album were approved by the film's director Peter Chelsom. He felt the film needed music that was tightly woven into the film's plot and the character's background. Several producers worked on the album, mainly John Shanks and Matthew Gerrard. Shanks was more involved with Cyrus than the other artists. Meanwhile, Gerrard produced Cyrus' songs as Montana; he previously wrote her hit song "The Best of Both Worlds" (2006). A remix of "The Best of Both Worlds" is featured as the album's closing track. Musically, the album merges heavy influences from pop and country. Songwriters include Cyrus, Gerrard and Swift, among others. The songs' lyrics primarily discuss the film's themes of fame, family, and love.
Contemporary critics were pleased with the album. Cyrus was praised for being natural and reflected while performing as herself. They also complimented Swift's performance and debated if she or Cyrus were more dominant. The soundtrack received a nomination for a 2009 American Music Award for Favorite Soundtrack, but lost to the Twilight soundtrack. Hannah Montana: The Movie reached the top ten in many nations, and topped charts in countries such as Austria, Canada, and New Zealand. In the United States, it peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and the BillboardTop Country Albums chart. By May 2009, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the album platinum. The album was promoted through exclusive releases to Radio Disney and live performances at numerous venues. Cyrus performed four songs from the album on her first worldwide concert tour.
"The Climb", performed by Cyrus, was released as the lead single on March 5 on iTunes and later on a CD single. "Hoedown Throwdown" served as a promotional single released on March 10, 2009. "Let's Get Crazy", performed by Cyrus as Hannah Montana, was released in Italy as the album's second and final single on May 29, 2009.
Writing and development
Most of the songs on the soundtrack were offered to Peter Chelsom, the film's director, for inclusion on the film.[4][5] Producer Alfred Gough said, "Peter Chelsom describes the Stewart family [Cyrus' character's family in the film] as a bilingual family whose second language is music, and that's very true in this movie."[5] Chelsom says the film's numerous songs are tightly woven into the fabric of the story and the characters, which is why he believes the film will feel like a musical without being one.[5] "We continuously dance very close to the convention of a musical but are more integrated. Songs are going to sit within the film, not apart from the film. At times, you won't notice the music is happening; it'll just move the story along."[5][6]
In regards to Cyrus' songs, Chelsom said, "We realized this was an opportunity to move forward with the music, to update it and make it more sophisticated, to move with Miley’s age. I’ve never had a better musical experience on any film."[5] Cyrus noted that most of the songs included on the soundtrack were inspired by the return of Cyrus' character, Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana, to her Nashville roots.[7][8] She explained, "The soundtrack is all about Nashville, and that's where I'm from, that's my roots. I think that's a lot of the reason I am who I am."[7][8] Cyrus co-wrote "Don't Walk Away" because it was to be included on her own studio album Breakout (2008). "Hoedown Throwdown", a song in which Cyrus calls dance steps, took much time to write. It became an ongoing collaboration between Chelsom, Cyrus, choreographer Jamal Sims, and the song's writers, Adam Anders and Nikki Hasman.[5]
Jessi Alexander said she was inspired to write "The Climb" while driving to the home of her songwriting partner, Jon Mabe. Once she arrived, they decided to write a song about overcoming obstacles. Alexander referred to the process as a form of "therapy".[9] It had initially been passed over by several artists until Chelsom chose it and offered it to Cyrus.[9] Under the name Hannah Montana, Cyrus performs the song "Let's Do This", which was originally written and recorded by American country singer Adam Tefteller. The last track is a remixed version of Cyrus' hit "The Best of Both Worlds" (2006). The song is used as the theme song of the Disney Channel television show Hannah Montana, the basis of the film, and was originally released on the television series' first soundtrack.[3]
Musically, it is a pop and country album.[12][11] According to About.com, each of Cyrus' songs incorporate her "husky twang".[11] The up-tempo songs are mainly performed by Montana and ballads are kept at a minimum.[11] Songs like "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home", "Let's Get Crazy", and "Spotlight" are the most true to pop. "Let's Get Crazy" carries a groove and creates a beat from paparazzi flashbulbs.[12] Cyrus' songs are more mid-tempo.[11] "Hoedown Throwdown" is an instructional dance song that mixes country and hip-hop.[11] "The Climb" has solid, clear vocals and is a standard-issue power ballad that places piano solos between chiming electric guitars.[13] "Crazier" is a waltzing ballad that has Swift in relaxed soprano vocals.[11][12]
Lyrically, the album explores a variety of concepts. With the exception of "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home", which speaks about staying grounded and relying on family,[12] Montana's songs describe the "glitzy-world" and privileges of a celebrity.[11][12] "Let's Get Crazy" centers on having fun at a party.[14] "The Good Life" is a "sugar-coated celebration of Gucci handbags and Prada shoes".[12] "The Best of Both Worlds" explicitly alludes to Cyrus' character's double life as Montana: regular adolescent that moved from Nashville, Tennessee to Malibu, California by day and pop star by night.[15][16] In the song, Montana talks about the privileges and advantages that are faced in leading in two lives with references to Orlando Bloom, concerts, friendship and film premieres.[17] The songs Cyrus performs as herself are more reflective, personal, and sentimental.[11][12] "Hoedown Throwdown" is a tribute to down-home fun.[12] "The Climb" describes life as a difficult but rewarding journey.[18] "Butterfly Fly Away" is a father-daughter duet by Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus about the coming of age.[11][12] In "Back to Tennessee" Billy Ray Cyrus laments leaving Tennessee.[11] Country group Rascal Flatts provide an acoustic version of "Backwards" and "Bless the Broken Road" with Williamson County Youth Orchestra.[12]
Singles
"The Climb" was released as the lead single from the album on February 21, 2009, through digital distribution. The song was critically appreciated for its lyrical content and Cyrus' strong vocals.[13][19] It achieved commercial success and reached the top ten on charts in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Norway, as well as reaching the top twenty in many other countries.[20] In the United States, the song topped Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks for fifteen consecutive weeks.[21]
"Let's Get Crazy" was released as the second single from the album on May 29, 2009.[2]
Promotional singles
After the release of the soundtrack, Disney sent promotional songs.
"Hoedown Throwdown" was released as a Radio Disney Exclusive single on March 10, 2009.[22] The song managed to make commercial success by reaching the top ten of the Irish Singles Chart[23] and top twenty in numerous regions.[24]
"Crazier" was premiered on Radio Disney and Disney Channel, the latter promoting the home release of the film. The song charting at number seventeen on the Billboard Hot 100,[25] sixty-four in the Australian Singles Chart,[26] sixty-seven in the Canadian Hot 100,[25] and one-hundred on the UK Singles Chart.[27]
Radio Disney premiered the entire soundtrack on March 21, 2009, with a rebroadcast the next day.[51] The Miley Sessions, a series of promotional music videos that featured Cyrus singing in a recording studio were released to Disney.com in March 2009.[52] The videos feature Cyrus in a recording studio singing.[52] Disney Channel aired a series of commercial segments entitled Hannah Montana: The Movie Playback, in which Cyrus is in the same setting describing the music of the album. Cyrus also embarked for a five city acoustic radio promo tour that reached over two-hundred-fifty for six days to promote the album. In addition, Cyrus performed four songs from the album on her first worldwide concert tour, the Wonder World Tour.
The album received generally positive reviews from critics. Warren Truitt of About.com described the album as Cyrus' attempt to gradually capture a more mature audience by sharing the album with artists like the Rascal Flatts and Swift.[11] Truitt also made musical comparisons to Shania Twain in "Dream", Kelly Clarkson in "Don't Walk Away", Avril Lavigne in "The Good Life", and Gwen Stefani in "Spotlight" and "Let's Get Crazy".[11] Heather Phares of AllMusic noted the presence of many drastically different genres makes the album "a little weird".[12] She stated that Cyrus' songs which were performed as herself were "the best songs", and also compared Cyrus to Twain.[12] Phares also noted that Swift's "Crazier" was "the best song on Hannah Montana: The Movie".[12] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly stated, "the distance between tween and twang isn't actually all that far; think of this [...] as a sort of country-lite starter kit for her legion of young Disney-fed fans".[53] In the end, she said Hannah Montana: The Movie was "the Miley show — whether it broadcasts from Nashville or Hollywood", despite appearances by other artists.[53]
