Miley Cyrus shares ‘Secrets’

The song appears on a new edition of Something Beautiful

Following the critical success of her visual album Something Beautiful, Miley Cyrus has released Something Beautiful Deluxe. The expanded album adds two new songs that showcase Cyrus’s instinct for bold collaboration and personal storytelling.

Leading the release is “Secrets,” featuring Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac, arriving with an official video directed by Cyrus with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter. Shot at Los Angeles’ historic Million Dollar Theatre, where the original album artwork was created, the video places Cyrus in striking looks from Iris Van Herpen Couture and Maison Margiela, which Miley most recently served as the face for the brand’s latest campaign, photographed by Paolo Roversi.

Earlier this year, Cyrus shared the song’s origins on Monica Lewinsky’s Reclaiming podcast, “I wrote this song about my dad because I wanted him to tell me — even though they were secrets, even though I didn’t really want to know — I wanted to be the one he felt safe enough to tell.”

Also included on the deluxe is “Lockdown,” a 13-minute collaboration with David Byrne that expands the sonic and conceptual reach of the Something Beautiful era.
