Ever wondered what the inspiration was for Miley Cyrus’ ridiculously catchy new track, Midnight Sky?
Well, look no further – apparently the bop came about after a ‘horrible and sweaty’ night out the singer had before lockdown (we’ve all been there).
Speaking to Australian radio show, Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa, the 27-year-old explained that she forced herself to go home after spotting her, erm, dishevelled appearance.
Miley said the Midnight Sky’s lyrics ‘it’s been a long night and the mirror’s tellin’ me to go home’, were ‘inspired by one of the last nights she went out before the corona[virus] craziness and lockdown’.
‘I went and performed at the Morrison hotel anniversary with The Doors,’ the Disney alum explained.
‘I ended up going out that night, and I went to take a picture because there was so many icons, Billy Idol, all these legends.’
Miley went on: ‘I go to take a picture, and it was on selfie-style.
‘With all this partying, I looked horrible, sweaty and flat, mascara dripping down my face and I thought well it’s time to go home!’
While the Wrecking Ball may seem like a sucker for mad nights out, she’s actually been all about clean living since her vocal cords took a hit.
Miley had to have surgery on her cords in November after being diagnosed with Reinke’s oedema, which is a swelling of the vocal cords due to a collection of fluid.
Since then, she’s kicked her cigarettes and alcohol habit and is now the ‘cleanest person’.
‘I don’t smoke anymore, and I’m sober. I’ve been sober, pretty much the vocal surgery kind of did it for me because I just learned so much about the effects,’ the Hannah Montana star said on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
‘You’re just taught it’s not really the drinking, it’s the staying up all night. Once you have your drink, you end up smoking.’
Meanwhile, Miley recently admitted it ‘f***ing sucked’ that she was ‘villainised’ during her split from Liam Hemsworth, which she suggested was not an overnight break-up.
The Can’t Be Tamed singer made headlines last August when she confirmed her split from Liam after nine months of marriage and a decade-long on-off relationship.
Soon after their break-up statement was released, Miley was pictured kissing Kaitlynn Carter on holiday.
