Miley Cyrus [1] is back with new music! After giving fans a bunch of teasers about her newest single, the singer finally dropped "Midnight Sky" at midnight on 13 Aug. and it was well worth the wait! Cyrus exudes boss b*tch attitude [2] in every scene of the video, wearing head-to-toe designer labels in rockstar looks or lounging in a candy-filled room in her birthday suit. The song is a powerful anthem of independence as Cyrus sings, "I was born to run / I don't belong to anyone / don't need to be loved by you." Sounds like a pretty timely reminder [3], doesn't it?
On 10 Aug., the singer dropped the most recent of many teasers for the single, including a Rocky Horror-esque video of her lips and a clip from her "Start All Over" video, which she simply captioned "Meet Miley Cyrus. . . again [4]." It seems like "Midnight Sky" could be hinting at a new era of music for the singer following her 2019 She Is Coming EP since the song is more of an electro-pop vibe complete with a light helping of synth. Cyrus also teased that Dua Lipa had heard [5] what the fans hadn't. Does this mean that there's a collaboration in the works? Could Dua Lipa actually be on the song [6]? We'll have to wait to see, but in the meantime, we can watch this new music video and dance the night away!
