Okay, I do not think this is about Liam and her break up at all, their relationship was not this intense. I think they both knew that their relationship wasn't meant to be taken too far, it was purely for publicity. I think this is about her and the music industry. She is saying how she wanted the music industry to let her in, so she came in like a "wrecking ball" and used force (Twerk incident, drastic hair change, style change, juicy j) to try and make them let her in, since she started off as Hannah Montana her image was 'innocent', once she decided she wanted in the music industry her image was in the way, so she used force to change the worlds opinion on her, which worked, but in a bad way. She is being forced to do all of this stuff to change an unwanted image. She is saying that the music industry is wrecking her. She is doing what she loves, singing, and it hits her hard... it wrecks her image. So, my view on this song is that she is saying the music industry is wrecking her, and her way to try and force them to accept her is by "using force" and "coming in like a wrecking ball". basically to sum it up, Music industry rejects her, she comes back and wrecks them and "breaks their walls" aka the barrier of acceptance, and the music industry just comes right back and wrecks her again. XD yeah
That's a really good interpretation! I think the song could be looked at in a variety of different ways and this one definitely sounds accurate. But of course, who knows in less we were to ask her ourselves right?:P

@PercyLou I would like to believe your interpretation, but I don't think she's that intelligent. If she was the "force for reason and honesty" she has tried to portray herself as, in the wake of the incomprehensible/nonsenscial "controversy" surrounding the video, she would not sing songs like this. Why not? Because they tacitly support discredited/oppressive/unreal concepts of "normal"/"abnormal" behavour within "relationships".

@PercyLou I agree with this. Everyone says it's about a relationship, I think that's obvious. But I think it means much more than that. And I think Mile is much smarter than she lets on, as it certainly suits the image she tries to portray.

This song was easily one of the better of the 'trashy pop" songs that comes out of the US.

I definitely think this was written with at least some thought of the music industry and media.

@PercyLou Miley DID NOT write the song. She did not write the song. MoZella and Stephen Moccio, and they've both made it clear it was about a relationship MoZella had ended just before they started writing the song. They didn't even know at first that they would offer it to Miley.

"MoZella was extremely emotional that day. She was very frail because she had broken off her wedding during that week. She almost didn't end up making the session. "Wrecking Ball" in every way is about MoZella's toxic relationship and then the courage to say, "I can't go through with...
