"On a Roll" is a song by American singer Miley Cyrus, performing under the moniker "Ashley O". The song was featured in the third and final episode of the fifth season of science fiction television series Black Mirror, "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too". It is an adaptation of the Nine Inch Nails song "Head Like a Hole", from their debut album Pretty Hate Machine (1989). The episode originally aired on June 5, 2019, and the song was later distributed as a single on June 14, 2019, by RCA Records and The Null Corporation. The B-side, "Right Where I Belong", is based on the Nine Inch Nails song "Right Where It Belongs". Reznor reportedly approved of the adaptations, and additionally released Black Mirror-themed merchandise to coincide with the episode's airing.^[1]

Background and composition

The track interpolates elements of "Head Like a Hole", the 1989 single by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, from their debut studio album Pretty Hate Machine. Therefore, "On a Roll" credits Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor as a songwriter, and was produced by production trio The Invisible Men.^[2] Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker gained permission from Reznor to use the song, and later re-wrote the lyrics to be "uber-positive" in order to serve as a juxtaposition with the "dark concepts" of the episode.^[3] The song is written in the key of G Major in common time with a tempo of 122 beats per minute.^[4] The chorus "Hey yeah woah-ho" has often been misheard as "Hey I'm a hoe", an example of a mondegreen.^[5]

The official music video for "On a Roll" was released on June 13, 2019, on Netflix's official YouTube channel.
