Recently, Parton explained the decision to add "Wrecking Ball," a song that was originally performed by her goddaughter Miley Cyrus, on the album.

"To involve Miley in my rock ‘n’ roll album, I thought, well, I have to do ‘Wrecking Ball,’ because I love Miley and I love the song," Parton stated.

"So I asked, 'Will you come and do this for me?'" She responded, "Of course," but it actually stemmed from the fact that we had performed the song on NBC for her yearly New Year's broadcast from Miami.

We got a lot of positive feedback for how we performed 'Wrecking Ball,' and we mixed my song 'I Will Always Love You' with that one.

I reasoned that because everyone enjoyed it and we enjoyed it, why not use that combo and have her sing on my rock album? I'm quite proud of that because I love my Miley and I adore that song. Our version, her version, and mine.

2013 saw Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" become her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit.
