Miley Cyrus says half of Plastic Hearts was a ‘trauma response'
Pop star Miley Cyrus has opened up about deep regrets over her writing contributions to the 2020 album Plastic Hearts, describing many tracks as a 'trauma response' to personal upheaval. In a candid appearance on the Every Single Album podcast, Cyrus admitted she now looks back with remorse on roughly half the songs she wrote for the album. She explained that during a turbulent period surrounding relationship breakdowns and nearly losing sobriety, she defaulted to writing emotionally charged music instead of seeking healing. The songwriter confessed: 'I had to fall one more time,' acknowledging that Plastic Hearts emerged from a place of unresolved trauma. Fans on social media quickly echoed the sentiment. One commentator on X noted, 'If she wrote it during a dark time… I can respect that she regrets it,' while another stressed that the emotional rawness shaped Cyrus's evolution. The album, released November 27, 2020, marked Cyrus's turn toward rock, synth-pop, and glam styles—a departure fueled in part by personal crisis. While Plastic Hearts was both critically praised and commercially successful, Cyrus's revelations underscore the internal cost of authenticity in art. Industry analysts say this admission could deepen fan appreciation, reinforcing her image as a genuine artist unafraid to revisit and critique her past work. It also adds to the broader discussion of what defines growth and healing in the public eye. As Cyrus promotes new music and embraces renewed creativity, her reflections on Plastic Hearts serve as a potent reminder that fame and trauma often collide in the creative process.

Miley Cyrus: 'No shade to Dua Lipa, but Prisoner just isn't cohesive with Plastic Hearts'
Miley Cyrus didn't feel her Dua Lipa collaboration Prisoner was the right fit for her album Plastic Hearts. Amid the hot gossip that Miley shades Dua on the track Every Girl You've Ever Loved on her latest LP Something Beautiful, Miley has insisted she means no disrespect to her fellow pop star, but she didn't feel their collaboration worked on the 2020 glam rock album. Every Girl You've Ever Loved features the telling lyric: 'Speaks the perfect French/ She can dance the night away/ And still, she'll never break a sweat.' First of all, Dua speaks French on Charli xcx and Troye Sivan's Talk Talk remix, plus Dua has the song 'Dance The Night' from the Barbie soundtrack. In a candid interview on the Every Single Album podcast, Miley said: 'It wasn't my idea [to have Prisoner on my album] and no shade to Dua but 'Prisoner' just isn't cohesive with the album. She would have been much better on something in Endless Summer Vacation — like she would've been great on Wildcard or River." Meanwhile, Miley has admitted she fears Sabrina Carpenter will get "fried". The 33-year-old star - who shot to fame in Disney show Hannah Montana when she was just 14 years old - believes young performers should be offered regular therapy sessions and she is particularly concerned about the welfare of singers such as the Espresso hitmaker because of their hectic schedules. She told the New York Times newspaper: "Ariana [Grande] says there should be therapy for child actors, and I totally agree. There should be a weekly check-in. "I've been doing very consistent therapy since I was 17 or 18 years old, so I think I've cleared up a lot of the feelings that I had about being a child star, and now I don't notice it so much because I don't notice it in me. "I guess the only thing I notice is when people are working too hard. I met Sabrina Carpenter a couple of times, and every time I see her I have the urge to ask her if she's OK. I'll see she's performing in Ireland, and then the next day she's doing a show in Kansas. And I'm like, 'I don't know how that could be physically OK,' because I was in that situation. "I know what it feels like to fry yourself, and I don't want anyone else to get fried."

Miley Cyrus Says Madonna ‘Was Down' to Mud Wrestle in a ‘4×4' Music Video, But Her Label Said No
In an alternate universe, Miley Cyrus' iconic Bangerz era would've been made complete with a wild music video starring Madonna, Nelly and more superstars popping wheelies and wrestling in the mud. Unfortunately, we do not live in that universe. In an interview on the Every Single Album podcast posted Thursday (June 5), the 'Flowers' singer revealed that she had been dead set on rounding up a star-studded group of friends to shoot a raucous visual for '4×4,' a song on her smash-hit 2013 album that ultimately never became a single. 'I had everyone already lined up,' Cyrus said. 'Nelly … Madonna was down to do the video, Miranda Cosgrove.' More from Billboard Miley Cyrus' 'Something Beautiful' Album: All 13 Tracks Ranked The Weeknd Wanders Through Purgatory in 'Baptized in Fear' Music Video Belinda's 'Indómita' Album & More Best New Music Latin 'This was before Taylor [Swift] had a lot of famous people in her crew,' she continued, laughing. 'I was friends with famous people first. I wanted to do that. I had a f–king squad, and my squad was very, very cool.' Cyrus claimed the idea was eventually shut down by RCA, her label at the time, whom she quipped didn't want her 'talking about a pit bull [and] piss' in a song they'd be promoting. 'Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr,' the Grammy winner reminisced wistfully. 'I was like, 'I'm gonna get all these girls, all these supermodels, all these Victoria's Secret models and all of these pop icons to come to my dad's farm, get in the back of 4x4s, and we're gonna mud wrestle, and we're gonna go out and do doughnuts.' Despite the lack of a '4×4' visual, Bangerz remains one of Cyrus' most successful albums to date. The LP debuted atop the Billboard 200 and spawned her first-ever No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, 'Wrecking Ball,' which was followed closely by 'We Can't Stop' at No. 2. The 'Party in the U.S.A.' artist was signed to RCA for a three-album run, later dropping Younger Now in 2017 and Plastic Hearts in 2020 under the Sony Music imprint. In 2021, she inked a new deal with Columbia Records, through which she just released new album Something Beautiful on May 30. Later in the podcast episode, Cyrus recalled another time where she and her former label weren't quite on the same page. According to her, she never would've put a certain fellow pop star on 'Prisoner,' one of the singles on Plastic Hearts. 'No shade to Dua Lipa, it just isn't cohesive with the album,' Cyrus said frankly. 'She would've been much better on something like [2023 LP] Endless Summer Vacation,' the singer continued of Dua Lipa. 'She would've been great on 'Wildcard,' she would've been great on any of them — 'River,' can you imagine?' Cyrus added that she thought her team at RCA wasn't entirely confident in how Plastic Hearts would perform, so they brought in some 'medicinal Dua' to give the LP some commercial oomph. 'They basically were like, 'Oh, great, here's this piece of s–t album she gave us, let's spray a little Dua Lipa on there,'' Cyrus said, laughing.

Miley Cyrus Just Made An Unexpected Admission About Her Dua Lipa Duet
Miley Cyrus has made a surprising admission about her collaboration with Dua Lipa. In 2020, Miley and Dua – both riding high off the song Midnight Sky and the album Future Nostalgia, respectively – teamed up for the duet Prisoner, which went on to appear on the former's Plastic Hearts. However, looking back five years later, the Flowers singer admitted she's not sure the Dua duet really fit in with the rest of her material at the time. During a career retrospective interview on the podcast Every Single Album, Miley was asked 'why the fuck' Dua ever wound up on Plastic Hearts, to which the former Disney star admitted: 'It wasn't my idea.' 'No shade to Dua but Prisoner just isn't cohesive with the album,' she claimed, adding that Dua 'would have been much better on something in Endless Summer Vacation', the album which spawned the hits Flowers, River and Used To Be Young. 'She would've been great on Wildcard or River,' Miley added, naming Endless Summer Vacation cuts that she thinks her fellow Grammy winner's vocals would have suited. Prisoner peaked at number eight in the UK, sparking comparisons with Pat Benatar and Blondie from some critics, and ended up being included on the re-released version of Dua's Brit Award-winning album Future Nostalgia. Interestingly, despite Miley's assertion she meant 'no shade' to the British singer, her comments come as fans have speculated that a song on her most recent album Something Beautiful is a diss at Dua. On the track Every Girl You've Ever Loved (which happens to feature a spoken-word section from supermodel Naomi Campbell), lyrics refer to a girl who 'has the perfect scent', 'speaks the perfect French' and 'can dance the night away' without ever 'breaking a sweat'. Some fans felt this was a deliberate reference to Dua, who is the face of an Yves Saint Laurent perfume, sang in French on the Angèle collaboration Fever and was nominated for an Oscar for her Barbie cut Dance The Night.
