Miley Cyrus dropped her new hit song, “Used to Be Young” on August 25. She mentioned in a outube video she posted that this particular date has been historically important to her. She is now 30 -years- old and has decided that it’s time to reflect on her youth. Cyrus wrote in an Instagram caption about the sound release, “This song is about honoring who we’ve been, loving who we are & celebrating who we will become. I feel proud when reflecting on my past and joyful when thinking about the future. I am grateful to my loyal fans who make my dreams a reality daily. I am sincerely thankful for the stability of your steadfast support. This song is for you.” Her mother commented on that post and said “I love you and I’m so happy I got to be your Mom. We have been on quite the journey over the last 16 years and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for the next 16! Because wherever it takes you, I’ll be right by your side… Always,” and she ended the post with a heart emoji.
August 25 is an important date Miley Cyrus because it was on August 25, 2013 that Miley Cyrus released her hit song “Wrecking Ball”. It was also when she got to perform on the MTV Video Music wards with Robin Thicke. 10 years later, she released “Used To Be Young” on August 25. Why was this so emotional for Miley Cyrus? It was emotional for her because she was realizing that she was harshly judged as a child. She says now that she’s an adult, she will never judge a child. She’s also reflecting on her younger self. In the music video she says “I know I used to be fun; You say I used to be wild; I say, I used to be young.” Because of all of these events that by coincidence happened on the date August 25th of several different years she thinks of the day as a special occasion.
