As Miley Cyrus’ second album under her own name hits stores today, the 15-year-old admitted on Good Morning America that her now-infamous Vanity Fair photos were a “mistake.” But just like those racy pics, the tougher tunes and “feel-bad downers” on Breakout are anathema to her bubbly Disney alter ego, Hannah Montana, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Breakout is unlikely fodder for the razzle-dazzle road shows and 3-D concert films to come,” writes Mikael Wood, adding that her cover of Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is more “about not having a good time.” Cyrus explains she had an “older audience” in mind during the provocative shoot and “was working with a big magazine just trying to go with what they were saying.” (More Miley Cyrus stories.)
