Miley Cyrus is reflecting on her past and looking ahead to her future. In the emotional new music video for her latest single, “Used to Be Young,” the 30-year-old singer opens up about the highs and lows of her past.
The intimate video, which was released at midnight on Friday, is done entirely with a close-up shot of a tearful Cyrus singing with a spotlight on her. In the emotional chorus the Disney Channel alum sings, “I know I used to be crazy / I know I used to be fun / You say I used to be wild / I say I used to be young.”
Fans immediately noticed that Cyrus is wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt in the video, seemingly confirming that the lyrics are in reference to her Disney Channel days, when she was starring on Hannah Montana.
From our partners:
Cyrus released the song’s lyrics in full earlier this week and shared a teaser of the video with fans. Alongside her post that revealed the song’s lyrics, Cyrus shared what inspired her to pen the track.
“These lyrics were written almost 2 years ago at the beginning of my ESV,” she wrote of Endless Summer Vacation, the album she released back in March. “It was at a time I felt misunderstood. I have spent the last 18 months painting a sonic picture of my perspective to share with you. The time has arrived to release a song that I could perfect forever.”
“Although my work is done, this song will continue to write itself everyday,” she continued. “The fact it remains unfinished is a part of its beauty. That is my life at this moment ….. unfinished yet complete. Sincerely, Miley.”
