Miley Cyrus has recently unveiled her latest track titled “Used to Be Young,” marking her return to the music scene after the release of “Endless Summer Vacation” in March. The accompanying music video for the song is now available, too.

Before the song’s launch, Cyrus shared the lyrics of “Used to Be Young” on her social media platforms, providing insight into its creation. She revealed that these lyrics were penned almost two years ago, during the early days of her “Endless Summer Vacation” project. At that time, she felt misunderstood and used the past 18 months to craft a musical expression of her perspective. Cyrus sees this song as an ongoing creation, forever evolving in its incompleteness, which she finds to be a beautiful reflection of her current life.

In a press statement, Cyrus elaborated on the song’s themes, “This song is about honoring who we’ve been, loving who we are and celebrating who we will become. I feel proud when reflecting on my past and optimistic when thinking about the future. I am grateful to my loyal fans who make my dreams a reality daily. I am sincerely thankful for the stability of your steadfast support. This song is for you.”

Addressing the emotional music video, Cyrus shared a personal touch: the use of technology allowed her to connect with her mother within the camera’s confines, evoking tears, laughter, and genuine emotions. She believes the video provides a rare glimpse into authentic emotions that are often obscured in today’s world.

Before the release of her latest single, Cyrus treated fans to “Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions),” a program aired on ABC and available for streaming on Hulu. During this program, Cyrus delved into her “Endless Summer Vacation” project, highlighted the hit “Flowers,” and engaged in other discussions.

Stream “Used To Be Young” on Spotify or Apple Music.
