Smoking hot: The star curled her upper lip while puffing on a cigarette



Seeing red: The singer and actress's sported lashings of black mascara and a bright red pout

Departure: Miley first began playing Hannah Montana at the age of 12 in the Disney TV show

The star's video for We Can't Stop contains sexual references, provocative poses and a buttock shaking dance move known as 'twerking.'



'You know, I built an entire empire for myself by the time that I was 11, but now I'm just the twerk queen,' she laughed.



She also told Billboard she identified with the party-themed lifestyle of We Can't Stop.



'I didn't make this song for the critics, but for the people living it,' she said. 'I'm 20 years old and I want to talk to the people that are up all night with their friends.



'It's based on a true story of a crazy night I had: When I heard the song for the first time, it captured exactly what I was living.'

With a hit single behind her, Miley also has high expectations ambitious for her new album, entitled Bangerz



'I want my record to be the biggest record in the world, and I've given everything to get here, even down to friends and family and relationships - I've just put this music first,' she said.

'That's been kind of a trip: It's not like I'm losing who I am - I actually found out more about who I am by making this music.



'I'm going on a journey, and that's more than a lot of 20-year-olds can say. And I'm still going to change so much. Because I'm not the same person I was six months ago-I'm not even the same person I was two weeks ago.'
