"Can't Be Tamed" is the lead single from Miley Cyrus' third studio album of the same name (2010).
According to Cyrus, it describes a desire to break out and experience freedom. The song's lyrics deal with the themes of freedom and self-expression.
A Rockangeles remix version featuring rapper Lil Jon was included as a bonus track on digital editions of the album. "Can't Be Tamed" received generally positive reviews from music critics. It also attained commercial success, peaking within the top ten in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland.
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Robert Hales and follows Cyrus performing with backup dancers throughout a museum. The singer is first trapped in a giant cage, being observed by spectators; she then escapes and trashes the museum. Cyrus promoted "Can't Be Tamed" by performing the song at several venues, including a performance on Britain's Got Talent that resulted in negative reactions from the media. The song was also included in the setlist of Cyrus' third and fourth world tours, the Gypsy Heart Tour and the Bangerz Tour. "Can't Be Tamed" premiered before its official release on April 30, 2010, on Cyrus' official MySpace.
