2. "Nightmare"

Before "We Can't Stop" was about molly and white lines, there was "Nightmare." This track is pure, unfiltered electroclash. The lyrics are a direct manifesto of rebellion against her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and the clean machine of Hollywood. The hook is iconic in fan circles: "I'm not a dream / I'm not an angel / I'm a nightmare."

The song’s production leans heavily into industrial clangs and a distorted bass drop. While a studio version exists in Miley’s vault, she has only performed it live once—at a tiny club show in New York in 2012. The fact that this wasn't a single remains a point of frustration for fans who consider it superior to some of the album's deep cuts.

2. "Underwater"

A melancholic piano ballad that predates "Wrecking Ball," "Underwater" features Miley singing about suffocation in a relationship. Unlike the theatrical shouting of "Wrecking Ball," "Underwater" is hushed and fragile.
