The BangerzThe song of the moment was leaked online in 2017, but a new and improved version marks their first official collaboration since 2014
The musical seeds that Miley Cyrus and Pharrell Williams planted more than a decade ago is in full bloom on their recently released single “Doctor (Work It Out).” The song, rumored to have first been created during Cyrus' 2013 album Bangerzleaked online in 2017, but the new and improved version marks their first official collaboration since 2014.
Pharrell and Cyrus last collaborated on “Come Get It Bae” from the producer's 2014 solo album GIRL. But their collaboration began at least two years before that. In 2012, Pharrell said Bullet magazine: “I am Morpheus and she is Neo.” I can't tell her what to do, I can only let her find it within herself… Her voice is unreal. It has this amazing low tone. He sings like he's from '79. I don't usually compliment my stuff, but it's unlike anything he's ever done before.”
Bangerz, which launched one of the most memorable pop eras of the 2010s, featured four songs, including a few bonus tracks, written and produced with Pharrell. He country-led Cyrus's drop down with Nelly on “4×4” and “#GetItRight” on the standard version of the album and the lavish tracks “Rooting for My Baby” and “On My Own.”
Pharrell first premiered “Doctor (Work It Out)” in January during Louis Vuitton's Fall-Winter 2024 Men's Collection, as models walked down a maze-like runway at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris . In 2023, he joined the luxury brand as Men's Creative Director, succeeding the late Virgil Abloh.
