Miley Cyrus unveils new tracks and visual film to accompany upcoming album

On March 31, 2025, Miley Cyrus released Prelude, a spoken-word track that sets the tone for her album. In the video, Cyrus appears in a crystal Thierry Mugler headpiece, mirroring the album cover. The track explores existential themes, with lines such as, "Like when following an image from a train, your eyes can't keep the passing landscapes from being swallowed into endless distance."

Following the Prelude, Miley Cyrus introduced Something Beautiful, a song that begins with a relaxed groove before transitioning into an electrifying climax with distorted guitar riffs. The video features her performing in a warehouse, with stage lights bursting and rain pouring over her and the band.

Miley Cyrus has been vocal about her inspiration for the album, revealing in a November 20, 2024 interview with Harper's Bazaar that she took cues from Pink Floyd's The Wall. She described her approach as:

"Better wardrobe and more glamorous, filled with pop culture," emphasizing that the visual elements would drive the sound.

She continued:

"It was important for me that every song has these healing sound properties," she added. "The songs, whether they're about destruction or heartbreak or death, they're presented in a way that is beautiful."

Following the success of Endless Summer Vacation in 2023, which featured the Grammy-winning hit Flowers, Cyrus' latest project continues her evolution as an artist. Something Beautiful is set for release next month.
