“I can love myself better than you did”

That “I’m not made for horses and carriages” that she screams in the refrain of You is a bit like her “I’m not a lady / one with all stars in life”: a manifesto of pride and self-assertion, destined to become an anthem. Miley Cyrus wrote it herself, when the love story with Liam Hemsworth had ended for a couple of years, in 2021, and had already begun to put the pieces back together after a relationship which – she tells today, without ever mentioning the name of her ex-husband – saw her almost vanish: the pop star had never put herself so naked in one of her pieces. If the single Flowers – first in the ranking of the most listened to songs worldwide on Spotify for seven weeks, with 624 million total streams – was the perfect business card of the new Miley Cyrus, You is the song that perfectly embodies the desire song sung by the 30-year-old American singer-songwriter on her new album Endless Summer Vacation, out on Friday.

SHARE
“It is human nature to want to give and receive love. Sharing it is special, but it’s always important to save a dose of that self-love. You are enough, the rest is just extra», she says, who is a champion of the art of being reborn from one’s ashes. From the sexy breakthrough in 2013 with Wrecking Ball, with which she locked the character of Hannah Montana in the attic (who she had played in the Disney Channel teen series of the same name), to the country one with Younger Now in 2017, Miley Cyrus has often enjoyed to displace, changing skin. This time there isn’t just an image to reinvent. In the Disney+ special that will be released on Friday, and which was partly filmed in the Los Angeles house where Frank Sinatra once lived and where Miley Cyrus shot the Flowers video, in addition to playing songs from Endless Summer Vacation, the singer-songwriter will tell the path that after her divorce from her husband Liam Hemsworth led her to rediscover a form of both physical and mental well-being.
«I divided the album into two parts. AM coincides with morning, which offers a potential for new possibilities. PM coincides with the night: it’s a great time to rest and recover energy, but also to give vent to your wildest side. It’s very inspiring for me,” she says. Hemsworth, meanwhile, prepares the papers to drag his ex-wife to court, after hearing himself called into question in the lyrics of the revenge song Flowers, in which Miley has removed quite a few pebbles from her shoes (such as Shakira with the footballer Piqué) against of the Australian actor launched by The Hunger Games (guilty of having also cheated on her – he allegedly had a flirt with his colleague Jennifer Lawrence): “I can love myself better than you did”, she sings, telling how happy and satisfied a woman can feel even alone.

THE RUCK
The actor, who would have been prevented from taking part in the new season of the series The Witcher precisely because of the media uproar, would have decided to go on the counterattack after the veiled attacks and would be ready to sue his ex-wife for defamation. She shrugs. Today she feels like a Wonder Woman, to quote the song that closes the disc, a motivational hymn that tells of her personal redemption: no one can put Miley in a corner (anymore).
