Miley Cyrus not 'chasing perfection' with new single
Miley Cyrus didn't want to "chase perfection" on her new single.
The 32-year-old singer dropped 'More to Lose', the second track from her upcoming album 'Something Beautiful', on Friday (09.05.25) and she's explained she was keen to record it in a "singular take" to keep it sounding "meaningful and emotional".
In a video interview she shared on her Instagram, she said: 'On a song like 'More to Lose,' I try to keep it a singular take. I add my harmonies, ad-libs at the end, but it's really a song that's more of a story and I never want that to be interrupted or overthought or chasing perfection.
'I never wanted 'More to Lose' to feel perfect, I wanted it to sound meaningful and emotional.'
Miley also shared a clip from the video, in which she sang in a long sparkly dress.
She captioned the post with the lyrics she sang in the video.
She wrote: "I stay, when the ecstacy is far away. I pray, that it's coming round again. You say it, but I wish it wasn't true. I knew someday that one would have to choose, I just thought we had more to lose."
Miley performed the song live last weekend at a private pre-Met Gala event in New York City, for which she noted some of her "exes" were in attendance.
Speaking to the audience, Miley said: 'I have a lot of people that I've known and loved for a very long time in this room. Even a couple of exes."
Miley's exes include ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, plus Cody Simpson, Stella Maxwell, Nick Jonas, Kaitlynn Carter, and Tyler, however, it's not clear who was in the crowd.
'Something Beautiful' - which is a visual album - is set for release on May 30.
The film will receive its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival in June.
So far, fans have heard the album's title track, 'Prelude', and 'End of the World'.
The album will feature 13 new songs, all of which will be accompanied by new visuals that have been described as a "one of a kind pop opera".
After releasing the title track 'Something Beautiful', Miley teased that the album marked "another bold artistic evolution" in her career.
A statement on her Instagram account read: "Miley's second song and video release 'Something Beautiful', the title track off of the forthcoming album explores her deep connection to fashion showcasing an original custom design by Casey Cadwallader for the House of Mugler in the visual.
"This era marks another bold artistic evolution for Miley, blending music and film into an immersive experience. 'Something Beautiful' is now available on all streaming platforms."

Bethenny Frankel: I look like a train wreck most of the time
Bethenny Frankel looks like "a train wreck most of the time". The 54-year-old reality TV star recently wore a thong bikini bottom at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Swim Week runway show in Miami, and Bethenny believes there's an unhealthy fascination with her appearance. In a video posted on Instagram, Bethenny explained: "I guess we have to discuss what I looked like on that runway because the internet is so fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair. "Listen, I can tell you with great certainty that every woman that was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior." Bethenny insists she's "never been vain" and admitted that she looks very different at home. She said: "I look like a train wreck most of the time. That's me. That's what I want." Bethenny also rubbished suggestions that she's recently undergone cosmetic surgery. The reality TV star explained: "My body is natural. "I don't do weights. And the reason my body is natural is because the exercise I do and have always done for my body is natural. I'll go months without exercise and definitely days without doing anything but I always come back to it." Bethenny also urged her Instagram followers to develop a "good relationship with food and exercise". She said: "I want you to allow yourselves to have, but not beat yourselves up when you do indulge. And I want you to have a good relationship with food and exercise and that doesn't mean being screamed at in a gym or beating yourself up and telling yourself that you have to kill yourself. You don't. It's healthier to just be healthy." Bethenny previously claimed that honesty and authenticity have been the keys to her success. Speaking to ADWEEK, she explained: "Be honest, be authentic - this is what I'm doing." Bethenny considers herself to be an "accidental influencer" - but the reality star also insisted there's real skill to her success. Bethenny said: "I see a lot of entrepreneurs and business owners that can't help but want to promote themselves. But not everybody can do it, and you have to really know if you can. It has to land."

Son's intuition reveals Australian Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright's pregnancy
Australian Winter Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright has announced she is pregnant with her third child. The 38-year-old former snowboarder has two sons with husband Angus Thomson — and she says it was their eldest who first revealed the latest addition. Bright said they are 'so excited' to become a family of five. 'The boys are hyped and so sweet with their baby growing in my belly!' she wrote. On Wednesday, Bright said they are not learning the gender until the baby arrives. 'But I'm feeling a third boy,' she said. The dual Olympic halfpipe medallist also shared that son Flow 'knew I was pregnant before I actually was'. 'A whole month before I conceived, he was telling people I had a baby in my belly,' Bright wrote. 'Maybe he already knows who this little soul is.' Bright said younger son Halo has also connected with the baby. 'Every night, Halo falls asleep holding my belly — and every morning, he wakes up and kisses it,' she said. 'Our hearts are expanding, and so is our family. So deeply grateful for this growing love. #PregnancyMagic #IntuitiveKids.' Bright made headlines in 2021 when she uploaded a photo of her breastfeeding baby Flow while performing a handstand to celebrate her first Mother's Day. 'Becoming a mother has unleashed something inside of me,' she wrote in the caption. 'It's deeply spiritual. It's primal. It's raw. it's fierce. It is pure.' The post immediately went viral, prompting Bright to address the negative reaction in a video. She said it was 'just a little bit of pure fun' and 'celebrating the bond between mother and child'. She also said she could 'understand how it's not everyone's taste' but lamented the judgement. 'Mothers, we need to encourage each other,' she said in the Instagram video. 'We need to lift each other up. We need to pay each other compliments. 'We need to support each other. We need to be each other's biggest cheerleaders because motherhood is so beautiful, but the reality is we are the only ones who know just how hard those hard moments are. 'And we need to have each other's back. Not compare each other and judge each other, because we all do think so differently. That's why it's so beautiful.' She finished the video by asking: 'But did anyone really think that's how I breastfed?'
