Miley Cyrus Unveils New Track “More To Lose” in Surprise NYC Performance, Teases Upcoming Album
Miley Cyrus is back and ready to serve us new music! The pop icon surprised fans with a debut performance of her unreleased song, "More To Lose," during an intimate gathering at Casa Cipriani NY on May 3rd. This surprise sneak peek comes ahead of her highly anticipated ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, promising a fresh and captivating sonic experience for her devoted fans.
The performance, captured in fan videos shared on X, showed Miley channeling a touch of her Hannah Montana era with a sleek blonde hairstyle and an all-black ensemble. But beyond the nostalgic vibe, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation as Miley revealed the song, hinting at its personal themes.
"I have a lot of people that I’ve known and loved for a very long time in this room," Miley told the audience, adding with a playful tease, "Even a couple of exes." This cheeky statement added an intriguing layer to the new track, which appears to delve into the complexities of past relationships.
A Glimpse into "More To Lose"
The lyrics unveiled in the performance offer a poignant glimpse into the song's narrative: "'Cause when you're looking like a movie star in a worn out coat, I throw away my mind, it happens all the time... I knew someday, the one would have to choose I thought we had more to lose." These lines suggest a reflection on a relationship's end, grappling with choices and potential regrets.
Something Beautiful: A Visual Album Inspired by Pink Floyd
Something Beautiful, set to drop on May 30th, isn't just another album for Miley; it's a full-fledged visual experience. Inspired by Pink Floyd's The Wall, the album is described as a "hypnotizing and glamorous" concept piece. Miley told Harper's Bazaar that she sees the album as "an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music."
Miley shared a clip of her performance on Instagram, along with photos. "Oh, I’ll stay when the ecstasy is far away/And I pray that it’s comin’ ’round again," she sang on the piano ballad. "And you say it, ‘I wish it wasn’t true, oh’/ I knew someday, the one would have to choose/I thought we had more to lose."
Teasing the Album: "End of the World" and a Personal Connection
Miley has been gradually unveiling pieces of Something Beautiful, including the track "End of the World." Initially recorded as a fast-paced pop song, Miley transformed it into a haunting ballad during a performance at Chateau Marmont in March 2024. Interestingly, this rendition was initially intended only for a select audience in the room, a personal moment dedicated to her mother, Tish Cyrus. "The secret of a song before it’s released is such a sacred time," Miley wrote on Instagram, emphasizing the emotional significance of the track.
Maxx Morando: Inspiration and Collaboration
To bring her vision for Something Beautiful to life, Miley collaborated with her boyfriend, Maxx Morando. "I’ve always worked with the people that I love," she explained. "And Maxx just inspires me so much." Their creative partnership promises an authentic and deeply personal touch to the album's visual and musical landscape.
