The hour-long doc will be produced by MTV's News and Docs team, and comes as interest in the pop star is at an all-time high. Cyrus' most recent single, "We Can't Stop," is currently No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and recently broke VEVO's record as the clip to reach 100 million views the fastest. The racy Diane Martel-produced video generated almost 11 million views in just the first 24 hours of release, topping the previous record-holder for most views in one day, Justin Bieber.

"It's just gonna sound like her and her influences, but it's not that hip-hop heavy," Pharrell told MTV when asked what fans can expect from the full-length album, due later this year. "That's not what she does, that's not where she comes from. It's a part of what she loves, which is a very big difference. I would expect that there would be elements of the things that she's into, but nothing rules her."
