Miley Cyrus fans have something to look forward to this year: her eighth studio album, “Endless Summer Vacation.” On Feb. 27, the singer revealed the titles of all 13 songs on the album via an Instagram video, which also featured Brandi Carlisle and Sia as featured artists.
The album’s first single, “Flowers,” was released on Jan. 12, along with its accompanying music video. The song is an exuberant ode to self-love, with the refrain “I can love me better than you can” hammering home Cyrus’s message: she’s not sacrificing her peace for anyone. It appears to reference her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, with lyrics like “We were right ’til we weren’t / Built a home and watched it burn.”
Cyrus announced the title of her new album and its release date during “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party” on Dec. 31, 2022. She shared teasers of the upcoming track on Instagram captioned, “NEW YEAR, NEW MILEY, NEW SINGLE. FLOWERS JANUARY 13,” though the song wound up coming a day before.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles and is billed as the singer’s “love letter to LA.” It features production from Mike WiLL Made-It, Greg Kurstin, Tyler Johnson, and Kid Harpoon.
Pre-order “Endless Summer Vacation” now on digital and vinyl through Cyrus’s website. The album arrives on March 10.
