"We Can't Stop" is a song by American recording artist Miley Cyrus for her fourth studio album, Bangerz (2013). It was released on June 3, 2013 by RCA Records as the lead single from the album, following Cyrus' departure from Hollywood Records in early 2013. "We Can't Stop" was written by Mike L. Williams II, Pierre Ramon Slaughter, Timothy Thomas and Theron Thomas (known collectively as Rock City), Cyrus, Douglas Davis and Ricky Walters. The song was produced by Williams II under his production name, Mike Will Made-It, with co-production from P-Nasty and vocal production by Rock City. "We Can't Stop" is a pop, R&B, and dance song that lyrically talks of a house party.
Upon its release, "We Can't Stop" received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards its production and lyrics. It peaked at number two on the U.S. BillboardHot 100, and has exceeded sales of two million copies. Internationally, the track enjoyed similar success, topping national singles charts in territories including New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
An accompanying music video was directed by Diane Martel and was released on June 19, 2013. It received generally mixed reviews from critics, who were divided on Cyrus' increasingly provocative image. Thirty-seven days after its premiere, it became the fastest clip to reach 100 million views across Vevo platforms. "We Can't Stop" was additionally promoted with a highly-controversial performance during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
