The song “Used To Be Young” by Miley Cyrus has been released, and you can listen to it and watch the video here. When discussing “Used To Be Young,” Miley explains that the song is about celebrating our future selves while still honoring who we have been and who we are. When I think back on my past, I feel proud, and when I consider the future, I feel optimistic. I’m appreciative of my loyal fans who help me realize my goals every day. I genuinely appreciate the consistency of your steadfast support. The song is for you.
In regards to the video, Miley said, “It’s really emotional because I’m kind of like a little version of my mom and I could see her inside the camera using a technology where I could livestream with my mom from inside the camera. We could see each other, and when she danced, it made me cry, laugh, and feel so many other real emotions. I believe this is allowing people to experience authentic emotion, which I don’t think we often see these days.
In celebration of the release of “Used To Be Young”, Miley shared stories and insights from the many chapters of her life within the TV special event Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions). Reimagined from the version which originally aired on Disney+, the special features a brand-new interview as well as music from her latest release Endless Summer Vacation and aired on ABC just hours before the release of “Used To Be Young”. The new, reimagined special is now streaming on Hulu.
“Used To Be Young” is Miley’s first new music offering since the release of her critically and commercially acclaimed album Endless Summer Vacation which featured her hit single “Flowers” and twelve additional tracks. A true worldwide smash, “Flowers” spent 8 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 – a personal best for Miley. “Flowers” was #1 on US Pop Radio for 10 weeks and is the fastest running song in nearly a decade to achieve the position. “Flowers” has streamed four billion times and was the fastest song in history to hit 500 million streams on Spotify. It’s officially the longest running UK #1 single by a female solo artist.
The release of “Used To Be Young ” also coincides with September’s 10th anniversary of Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz, a 3x Platinum album. Bangerz was a landmark album that gave rise to beloved original classics including “Wrecking Ball,” “We Can’t Stop,” and “Adore You.” To honor the anniversary, a limited-edition vinyl with redesigned packaging that includes never-before-seen images and the bonus track “23” with Mike WiLL Made-It will be released.
