Miley Cyrus reveals she wrote new single ‘Easy Lover' for Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter album
has revealed that her upcoming single 'Easy Lover' was originally intended for to sing.
The star is due to release the song tomorrow as the final single ahead of her highly anticipated new album . Cyrus co-wrote the song with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who previously penned hits for Beyoncé like 'Halo', 'XO', and the singer's GRAMMY winning duet with Cyrus 'II Most Wanted'.
Speaking to Zane Lowe promoting Something Beautiful, Cyrus explained that 'Easy Lover' came from the same sessions as 'II Most Wanted'.
'That one is funny because there's an ad-lib where I say 'Tell 'em B', and that was Beyoncé, because she was taking songs for her country album,' Cyrus admitted.
The 'Flowers' singer explained that she first began working on the song whilst making music for her 2021 rock-influenced album Plastic Hearts, and then later adapted it match the sound of Cowboy Carter. 'I had written originally that song around Plastic Heart days and never got the production quite where I wanted it. I had written it with totally different verse but the chorus I had always loved,' she elaborated.
'That was around 2020-2021, and then I held on to it and when Beyoncé was looking for songs for her country record, I remembered that chorus and was like, 'That would work really well for country', and so I started working on that.'
'She chose 'Shotgun Rider', or what do you call it? 'II Most Wanted',' the performer revealed. 'The demo was called' Shotgun Rider'. She was like 'II Most Wanted – that's us'. I was like, 'That is so the perfect title'.'
The 'Wrecking Ball' songstress, who is also releasing a film to accompany Something Beautiful which will screen in UK cinemas on 27 June, explained that Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard offered to perform on the track, thus becoming the 'B' Cyrus refers to on the ad-lib.
'I still had 'Easy Lover', and so I just was like 'What am I going to do about 'Tell em B'? And Brittany Howard's like 'I'll play the guitar on it', so that's her playing all that electric guitar,' Cyrus said.
Howard also features on another track on the upcoming LP entitled 'Walk of Fame'. The pair previously performed together at the Saturday Night Live 50 celebration earlier this year.
'Easy Lover' and the album Something Beautiful are released next Friday, 30 May.

Video Explores How 1920s Filmmakers Pulled Off Death-Defying Stunts Without Dying — GeekTyrant
A new video from Lost in Time dives into some of the wildest and most iconic movie stunts from the silent film era. This is a behind-the-scenes look at how legends like Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin pulled off seemingly impossible feats of physical comedy and danger… without modern safety gear or visual effects. 'In this video we're breaking down how they pulled off the craziest stunts in the 1920s from Hollywood legends Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd. I have made 3D animations showing exactly how each scene was filmed, and it is amazing how creative they were back then.' And those animations really drive it home. Watching them reveals just how much thought and trickery went into making these death-defying moments is fascinating. This is just a reminder that the roots of modern movie magic were built with brains, not just bravery.

‘Fantastic Voyage': David S. Goyer On Hopes He And Guillermo Del Toro Can Complete Remake Of Sci-Fi Classic

Goyer is hoping he and Guillermo del Toro can still find a way to embark on their long-gestating remake of the 1966 sci-fi classic Fantastic Voyage. Goyer, of course, collaborated with director Christopher Nolan as a screenwriter on The Dark Knight Trilogy and is currently executive producing Apple TV+'s Murderbot. Goyer first teamed with del Toro in 2002 on the Wesley Snipes Marvel movie Blade II, which he co-wrote and del Toro directed. Starring Raquel Welch, Stephen Boyd, Edmund O'Brien and Donald Pleasence, Fantastic Voyage follows a crew of five scientists who are miniaturized in a submarine and injected into the bloodstream of an ailing colleague in a desperate bid to prevent his death. The Fantastic Voyage remake was to be directed by del Toro from a script by Goyer and produced in collaboration with James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment. 'Guillermo's a good friend. We've worked on about five or six projects together,' Goyer said in a recent Zoom conversation. 'We were in prep on Fantastic Voyage and it was very close. A production designer was on and all of the above. "While we were in prep for that, Guillermo said, 'I've got this deal with Searchlight' and 'Do you have any scripts that could be made for $20 million?' and I gave him a script called Antlers that we produced together,' Goyer added.

Caulfield/WireImage) While Antlers — a horror thriller directed by Scott Cooper that starred Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons — was released in 2021, Fantastic Voyage remained in development. The film was put on pause in 2017, Deadline reported. 'Fantastic Voyage got derailed with the-then regime at Fox, but God, it was a good one,' Goyer added. 'It was such a great experience working with Guillermo and James Cameron on that, and then my experience working on that led to my working on Terminator: Dark Fate with Cameron and we got along great.' While it has been eight years since Fantastic Voyage began treading water, Goyer said he isn't giving up hope on the film just yet. 'I've known Guillermo forever. I hope one day we can figure out [how to get Fantastic Four made],' Goyer said. 'In fact, now, my friend Steve Asbell is running [20th Century Studios], so it occurs to me that I should call him up and say, 'Hey, maybe we should try to resurrect this.' "I also have a Star Wars script I wrote with Guillermo that hasn't been made, so there are definitely a few ones that have gotten away,' Goyer added. While David S. Goyer has yet to complete Fantastic Voyage with Guillermo del Toro, the duo has had the good fortune to collaborate on other projects including the 2022 Netflix horror anthology series Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. When the series — which was initially known as Guillermo del Toro's 10 After Midnight (via Deadline) — got the green light at Netflix, the director reached out to Goyer to write a script for one of the eight short stories he was going to produce for the series. 'He said I'm doing this 10 After Midnight thing at Netflix and I've optioned X amount of short stories and I had read them all,' Goyer recalled. 'Guillermo said, 'You get first pick if you want to do one. Since I had always loved The Autopsy and the author [Michael Shea], I wrote that.' Then, Goyer, added, he experienced something that's never happened to him in all of his years as a writer. 'I adapted the story and sent Guillermo the script and he said, 'I love it. No notes.' It went into Netflix, and no notes,' Goyer enthused. 'It was the first time in my life that it ever happened. It was just like, 'Boom!' It was just a completely painless experience.' Goyer is currently executive producing the new Apple TV+ sci-fi action comedy Murderbot, which is based on Martha Wells' best-selling The Murderbot Diaries book series. In addition, Season 3 of Goyer's sci-fi series Foundation debuts on Apple TV+ on July 11, while his Netflix fantasy series The Sandman returns for its second and final film season with six episodes on July 3 and six episodes on July 24. Meanwhile, del Toro is readying his version of the Mary Shelley horror classic, Frankenstein, for release on Netflix sometime in November.
