The standard edition of Bangerz gave us 13 tracks. The deluxe added a few more. But the reality is that the recording sessions for this album yielded dozens of songs, fragments, and concepts that never saw the light of day. These tracks represent the "Shadow Bangerz"—a grittier, experimental, and sometimes unfinished version of the album that could have been.

Bangerz , released in October 2013, was more than just an album for Miley Cyrus—it was a seismic cultural event. It was the sound of a young pop star smashing her Disney image, trading Hannah Montana for Mike WiLL Made-It beats, and ushering in an era of unapologetic twerking, controversial performances, and hip-hop-influenced pop.
Bangerz is celebrated for its whiplash-inducing tracklist—moving from the country twang of "4x4" to the space-age synth of "Someone Else." However, including tracks like "Nightmare" (which sounded too Euro-dance) or "Doctor" (which was too retro-funk) would have shattered the cohesive trap-pop identity Mike WiLL Made-It had established. | | Underwater | Leaked | CDQ |

Because Cyrus was actively bridging the gap between urban music and mainstream pop, the sessions yielded two distinct types of unreleased tracks: heavily trap-influenced hip-hop bangers and emotional, mid-tempo acoustic pop ballads. The tracks that survived were the ones that successfully blended these two worlds. The ones left behind often leaned too far in one direction. Notable Leaked and Unreleased Tracks "Rubber Band"
