Background and composition
Miley Cyrus portrayed the title character on the television series Hannah Montana.
During the production of the first season of Hannah Montana, Cyrus commented that "right now we're just all really focused on making Hannah Montana the show as good as it can be, but hopefully in the future there may be a Hannah Montana soundtrack [or] a Miley Cyrus album."[4] The series itself premiered through the Disney Channel on March 24, 2006, and became an immediate commercial success; with 5.4 million viewers, the pilot episode earned the channel the highest ratings in its history at the time.[5] The following month, it was reported that an accompanying soundtrack and Cyrus' debut studio album had both begun production, the latter of which was scheduled to be released in early 2007.[6] The first soundtrack Hannah Montana (2006) debuted at number one with first-week sales of 286,000 copies,[7] becoming the first television soundtrack to debut in the peak position of the chart.[8]
In the series, Cyrus portrays the character Miley Stewart, a teenager who lives the secret double life as the pop star Hannah Montana. She stated that "most songs for the first season reflect the show, with Miley or Hannah making sure the other doesn't get caught or whatever," opining that the tracks provided series producers with the opportunity to "make sure that everyone understood the characters". By comparison, Cyrus described material used during the second season as "more speaking out to the fans."[9] Heather Phares from AllMusic described Cyrus' vocals on her personal tracks as being "lower and throatier" with "more organic and rock-oriented" instrumentation.[10]
Throughout the record, Kathi Kamen Goldmark from Common Sense Media noted the inclusion of "positive, self-empowering messages for tween girls".[11]Hannah Montana 2 continued to discuss Cyrus' double life on the program, notably in the tracks "Rock Star" and "Old Blue Jeans". Friendships are addressed during "Right Here", "You and Me Together", and "True Friend". The songs "Nobody's Perfect", "Make Some Noise", and "Life's What You Make It" discuss maintaining an optimistic outlook in life.[12]Meet Miley Cyrus explored "more serious objects" including teen romances.[13] Its closing track "I Miss You" is a dedication to Cyrus' late grandfather.[12]Hannah Montana 2 was later reissued as a two-disc special edition only in Japan. It included a remix of the track "We Got the Party" with the Jonas Brothers, an acoustic version of "One in a Million", and a DVD of live performances. Meet Miley Cyrus was omitted from the re-released pressings.[14]Meet Miley Cyrus remained unreleased as a standalone album until January 2021, when both albums were reissued separately for the first time on digital platforms.[15]
Singles
From Hannah Montana 2
"Nobody's Perfect" was originally released on March 20, 2007, with the reissue of the original Hannah Montana soundtrack.[16] The track was later serviced as the lead single from Hannah Montana 2, and was individually released on May 15.[17] The song peaked at number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[18] Despite not releasing official follow-up singles, several tracks from the soundtrack charted in the United States. "Life's What You Make It" was the highest-peaking track from the record, having entered the chart at number 25. "Rock Star", "Make Some Noise", and "True Friend" charted in the lower ends of the Billboard Hot 100, having respectively reached numbers 81, 92, and 99.[18]
From Meet Miley Cyrus
"See You Again" was released as the lead single on October 1, 2007.[19] It became her first song to peak in the top ten in the United States when it peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.[20] Its "Rock Mafia Remix" was included on Cyrus' second studio album Breakout (2008), and was released on August 11, 2008, as an individual single.[21] "Start All Over" was released only in Australia as the second single on March 11, 2008. The song peaked at number 68 in the United States.[22] Its accompanying music video was premiered on December 14, 2007.[23]
On the following day of its release, a free concert held at the courtyard of the Hollywood and Highland Center in Los Angeles, California was used to promote the soundtrack alongside Cyrus' debut studio album, where she performed songs from both albums as Hannah Montana and as herself.[27]
As herself, Cyrus first performed songs from Meet Miley Cyrus, "See You Again" and "G.N.O. (Girls Night Out)", at the closing ceremony of the 2007 Disney Channel Games held on April 27, 2007, which was also the first time she performed as herself and not as Hannah Montana.[28] On December 20, 2007, Cyrus performed "I Miss You" on The Oprah Winfrey Show.[29] On New Year's Eve, she performed "Start All Over", "See You Again" and "We Got The Party" with the Jonas Brothers at the Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in New York City.[30] In 2008 Cyrus performed "G.N.O. (Girls Night Out)" at the 2007 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards on March 29[31] and "See You Again" with "Good and Broken" at Idol Gives Back on April 14.[32] She also performed "G.N.O. (Girls Night Out)" with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem at the Disney Channel featuring The Muppets' special Studio DC: Almost Live.[33]
Writing for AllMusic, Heather Phares expressed concern that Cyrus was "in danger of being overshadowed by the role she plays", but complimented that incorporation of "shiny, synth-driven pop and strummy acoustic ballads", praising the album. She also noted Cyrus' "East Northumberland High" as the standout track from both discs.[10] Kathi Kamen Goldmark from Common Sense Media opined that releasing Hannah Montana 2 and Meet Miley Cyrus as a single project was a value for the younger audience it attracted. However, she criticized its production for being "synthesized and over-processed", and added that the records would "irritate anyone with more mature musical taste."[11] However, Bob Smithouser and Bob Waliszewski from PluggedIn provided a more favorable review, stating that the album was "a great pick for [Cyrus'] tween fan base" and compared its musical style to that of Ashlee Simpson.[12] Shirley Halperin from Entertainment Weekly shared a similar sentiment, further comparing its sound to those of Hilary Duff and Avril Lavigne. She opined that the first disc "delivers pure pop candy and impresses with R&B-tinged ballads", while the second disc was notable for its "risk-taking" lyrics.[13]

In the United States, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus challenged a number one debut on the Billboard 200 with Kelly Clarkson's My December. On July 14, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus debuted at number one with first-week sales of 326,000 copies; 35,000 units ahead of My December, which charted in second place.[38][39] In doing so, it surpassed the first-week sales of the original Hannah Montana soundtrack, which opened with 281,000 units the previous year.[40] Five songs from the record appeared on the Billboard Hot 100, four of those being debuts on which three were credited to the fictional Hannah Montana and one to Miley Cyrus. The highest new entry was "Life’s What You Make It" at No. 25.[41] In March 2008, the record reached number six the same week that Best of Both Worlds Concert reached number 10 in its second week of availability. In doing so, Cyrus became the first person with two records in the top-ten of the Billboard 200 since Ray Charles accomplished this in 2004.[42] On 8 February 2008, the record was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for exceeding shipments of three million copies.[43]
The album became the 71st best performing Billboard 200 album of all time[44] after spending a total of 65 weeks on the chart, which 23 of those being on the top-ten, and reaching numbers 16 and 11 on the Billboard 200 Year-End Chart of 2007 and 2008, respectively, and also number 112 on the Billboard 200 Decade-End Chart (2000s).[45]
