Miley Debuts
On UPROXX
New Name, New Label, New Sound
On August 31 she dropped the Cyrus and became, simply, MILEY. Days later Bass Persuades arrived as her first release under Atlantic Records, the lead single from her tenth album and the opening statement of a dance-pop era built on a four-on-the-floor beat, a disco bassline, and eighties synth.
It went straight to #2 on YouTube trending and has cleared 9.5M views in seven days. A new name, a new label, and a new sound, exclusively available on the UPROXX network.

UPROXX Originals Are
Defining Culture
There’s an idea worth sitting with: you are what you make. It sounds simple. But in an era where many can talk about possibility, UPROXX is showing our own with what we put out on a weekly basis. And since August, that output has been something special to behold.
In a partnership with Verizon, UPROXX unveiled two new episodes of our Visionaries performance series with R&B superstars Ari Lennox and Lucky Daye, a fresh installment of the Visionaries Interview with Latin icon Becky G speaking with UPROXX Chief Visionary Officer will.i.am, standalone Visionaries Moments features with both Will and Becky, and new episodes of Sound Check with a disparate and impressive group of artists: Alex Warren, Bella Kay, and The Game.
Additionally, we dropped a Sound Check with movie star Adria Arjona that has a half-million views on social.

K-Pop On UPROXX
JISOO Drops ‘CLICK’
K-Pop Continues To Dominate
The final member of powerhouse K-pop group BLACKPINK to launch a solo project, JISOO proved that last certainly doesn’t mean least. In 2025, her single ‘Eyes Closed’ put her on the Hot 100, making BLACKPINK the first girl group in history to have all four members chart solo.
Last week JISOO returned with ‘CLICK’, proving once again the power of K-pop video drops with 35.4M views in seven days. UPROXX places brands in front of engaged K-pop audiences, making us the premier YouTube environment for new music from Asian artists and beyond.
