When discussing the inspiration behind “Used To Be Young,” Miley Cyrus shared her perspective, saying, “This song is all about acknowledging our past, embracing our present, and looking forward to our future. It’s a celebration of self-love and personal growth. Reflecting on my journey fills me with pride, and I’m filled with optimism when I think about what lies ahead. I’m deeply grateful to my dedicated fans who turn my dreams into reality every day. This song is dedicated to you.”
In reference to the music video, Miley expressed her emotions, saying, “The video holds a special place in my heart because I see shades of my mom within it. We used an innovative technology that allowed me to livestream with my mom while she was inside the camera, dancing. It was an incredibly emotional experience for me, bringing tears, laughter, and a rush of genuine feelings. I believe it grants viewers a glimpse into raw emotions, something we don’t often witness these days.”
To celebrate the release of “Used To Be Young,” Miley Cyrus shared personal stories and insights from various phases of her life in the TV special event titled “Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions).” This reimagined version of the special, originally aired on Disney+, features a brand-new interview along with music from her latest release, “Endless Summer Vacation,” and was broadcast on ABC shortly before the release of “Used To Be Young.” The revamped special is now available for streaming on Hulu.
“Used To Be Young” marks Miley’s first musical offering since the launch of her highly acclaimed album, “Endless Summer Vacation,” which included the chart-topping single “Flowers” along with twelve additional tracks. “Flowers” achieved global success, spending an impressive 8 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart—a personal milestone for Miley. The song also dominated US Pop Radio for a remarkable 10 weeks and became the fastest song in nearly a decade to attain this achievement. With over four billion streams, “Flowers” became the quickest song in history to reach 500 million streams on Spotify. Furthermore, it holds the distinction of being the longest-reigning UK #1 single by a female solo artist.
In addition, “Used To Be Young” arrives just ahead of the 10th anniversary of Miley Cyrus’ 3x Platinum album, “Bangerz” (September). This iconic album spawned beloved hits such as “Wrecking Ball,” “We Can’t Stop,” and “Adore You.” To commemorate the anniversary, a limited-edition vinyl with updated packaging, featuring never-before-seen photos and the bonus track “23” with Mike WiLL Made-It, is available for pre-order here.
