Remember when Miley Cyrus licking a hammer could cause a nationwide meltdown? Yeah, simpler times. Now at 32, the former Disney star is back with a new song, More to Lose, and a video that’s basically a moving therapy session set to soft indie beats.
In the video, Miley gazes out windows, walks in slow motion, and seems to mourn not just her failed marriage to actor Liam Hemsworth — but also the days when showing your tongue on stage was enough to break the internet.
What Happened to the Pop Icon? Miley’s 9th Album Is Here and We’re Confused But Curious
This emotional resurrection is also the lead single off her ninth studio album (yes, ninth), Something Beautiful, which drops later this month — whether the world wants it or not.
‘More to Lose’: A Sad Love Song or a Funeral for Her Relevance? 📉
More to Lose feels like someone took Miley’s diary from 2013, soaked it in red wine, and hit “record” on GarageBand. The video features our girl wandering through empty rooms, staring into mirrors, and generally serving serious “divorced artsy aunt” energy.
Musically, it’s giving “voice note to your ex” more than “pop comeback.” She sings about loss, regret, and whatever was left after Liam took the beach house. It’s intimate, heartfelt, and desperately hoping to trend on TikTok. Spoiler: it won’t.
Album #9: For the Fans (All 37 of Them) 🤷♀️
Something Beautiful is the kind of album title that screams, “I’m still deep, please take me seriously.” According to Miley, the project explores “vulnerability, strength, and authenticity” — aka the holy trinity of every washed pop star’s press release.
But let’s be honest: Gen Z is busy with Ice Spice and Olivia Rodrigo. Millennials are stuck replaying Party in the U.S.A. at weddings. Boomers think “Miley Cyrus” is a TikTok filter. Who is this album for?
Still, full respect to Miley for doing what she loves — even if Spotify might ghost her harder than Liam did.
Honest Question: Who’s Still Listening to Sad-Girl Pop? 🪦
Pop music in 2025 is no place for subtlety or soul. These days, to go viral, you need three celebrity feuds, two mugshots, and a skincare line. Miley, meanwhile, is out here making actual music with feelings. How dare she?
While other celebs are launching energy drinks and fighting in comment sections, Miley’s putting out songs that could score a breakup montage on Grey’s Anatomy. It’s bold. It’s beautiful. It’s totally out of sync with everything the internet rewards.
But hey — maybe Something Beautiful is her way of reclaiming her own narrative. Or maybe it’s just what happens when you realize you’ll never be Hannah Montana again.
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
