II Most Wanted
"II Most Wanted" is a song by American singers and songwriters Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus. It was released on April 12, 2024, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records as the third and final single from Beyoncé's eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, and interpolates "Landslide" (1975) by Fleetwood Mac.
A country track, Beyoncé and Cyrus wrote "II Most Wanted" with Ryan Tedder and Michael Pollack. The track is produced by Shawn Everett, Jonathan Rado and Pollack. The song received acclaim from music critics, naming it one of the best tracks on the album, and it was named the Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
Commercially "II Most Wanted" became Beyoncé's 23rd and Cyrus' 13th top-ten song on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also debuted at number two on the Hot Country Songs, scoring Beyoncé's third and Cyrus' second top-ten on the chart. During the Cowboy Carter Tour at the Paris stop of the tour, Cyrus joined Beyonce on stage to perform the song, marking the first time the song was performed live.
So when Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship. I told her, "We don’t have to get country; we are country. We’ve been country." I said, "You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song."
Beyoncé and Cyrus previously collaborated on "Just Stand Up!" (2008) as part of the charity supergroup Artists Stand Up to Cancer, where Cyrus remembers Beyoncé being "protective" of her. In a June 2024 interview with fashion magazine W, Cyrus explained their budding friendship further: “That Christmas [(2008)], Beyoncé sent me a House of Deréon jacket that said ‘Miley’ on the back in gold studs, which is my favorite, and some jeans with my name on it,” Cyrus said ― and the gesture clearly meant a lot to her. “In one of my songs, ‘Cattitude (from project She Is Coming),’ I say, ‘And for my 16th birthday, I got Deréon from the house of the queen.’”
"II Most Wanted" was initially written by Cyrus around 2020 for her sixth studio album Plastic Hearts (2020). The song was used after Beyoncé reached out to her about collaborating. The song was originally titled "Shotgun Rider", and was sent to Beyoncé alongside another song, "Easy Lover", which would later be reworked for inclusion on Cyrus' eighth album Something Beautiful (2025).
In 2022, prior to the release of Beyoncé's seventh studio album Renaissance, a Variety article citing an anonymous industry source teased an unknown album featuring both "dance and country-leaning tracks... with contributions from hit songwriter Ryan Tedder." It was unclear at the time as to whether the country songs would appear as a separate album or as a component of her upcoming album.
On March 28, 2024, Beyoncé revealed the song and the collaboration as part of her studio album Cowboy Carter. Upon release, Cyrus took to Twitter to express her admiration for Beyoncé that only deepened in the process of creating the song alongside each other.
