THEn all these years of career, Miley Cyrus has accustomed her audience not to anchor themselves to an overly defined image of herself and her artistic career. About her Her forays into country, rock and punk, for example, have allowed her to not be considered as a “simple” pop star, one of those who tend to repeat past hits by shifting texts and concepts here and there. Now the artist has released his new highly anticipated single, titled Used to Be Young. A song with which she tries to make peace with his past. And he invites everyone to do it with her.
Used to Be Young and that featured video
The ballad that the artist – made famous thanks to his role in Hannah Montana – published is really exciting. And those who know his artistic career can see, in this passage, an important moment of awareness.
The song, written with Michael Pollack and Gregory “Aldae” Hein, reads: “I know I was crazy, I know I was funny, you say I was wild, I say I was young.” It’s still: “You tell me that time has changed me. That’s okay because it was a good ride. I know, I was crazy and that’s because I was young». In the video clip of the song, Miley looks straight into the camera, with all the intensity she is capable of. She also runs away from them some tearsbecause looking at one’s past with such tenderness is an act of great courage.

The song written “when I felt misunderstood”
As reported by Rolling Stonespeaking precisely of this video, the artist explained: «It’s so exciting because I’m a kind of Mini-Me of my mother and thanks to the technology I could see her inside the camera while I sang. She danced and made me cry. She made me laugh. She aroused real emotions. Here you are… The idea was to arouse real emotions in people, something that doesn’t often happen today».
Used to Be Young, therefore, is an interesting look, halfway between the past and the future. The piece – written almost two years ago, when «I felt misunderstood» – «wants honor who we were, love who we are, celebrate who we will become. I reflect on the past with pride and I feel optimistic when I think about the future».
On Instagram, the singer (who with her eighth album Endless Summer Vacation released in March, it reached #3 on the charts Billboard 200) had written to launch this new song. «I spent 18 months painting a sonic picture of my vision to share with you. It’s time to release a song that I could go on perfecting forever».
And he had concluded: «Even if my work is finished, this song will continue to be written every day. The fact that it remains unfinished is part of the beauty of it. This is life right now… unfinished but complete.”
