In order to support Cyrus’ then newly launched, joint apparel line with Max Azria, sold exclusively by Wal-Mart stores, this EP was chosen for release.
It shows Miley is getting better and maturing as a performer, even though she’s perhaps not the most technically accomplished singer. This 7 track CD has a good range of songs from “Kicking And Screaming” which is fun and up beat to the slower “Obsessed” and perhaps the best song on the album, “When I Look At You”.
The song “Talk Is Cheap” has very adult themes and some parents may not be happy with their children listening to this, but then Miley is growing up and trying to appeal to a broader audience.
Two singles were released from The Time of Our Lives. The lead single, “Party in the U.S.A.”, became Cyrus’ best-selling effort to date, peaking at number two in the Billboard Hot 100. It also became one of the best-selling singles in the United States and Hollywood Records’ best- and fastest-selling single. The second and final single released from the EP was “When I Look at You”. It was used to promote the 2010 film The Last Song, which Cyrus starred in. Unable to match “Party in the U.S.A.”‘s success, the single appeared in the top twenty of charts in Australia and the United States.
