\t\t\t\t\tMiley Cyrus Unveils \u2018Something Beautiful\u2019 Tracklist Featuring Naomi Campbell\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tIn an interview with Apple Music 1\u2019s Zane Lowe posted Wednesday (May 21), the pop star opened up about how cutting out substances didn\u2019t just change her life for the better, but ultimately paved the way for her to find unprecedented success with her Endless Summer Vacation <\/em>album. \u201cI\u2019ve learned this about myself over the years,\u201d she told Lowe. \u201cThe sobriety is like, that\u2019s like my God. I need it, I live for it. I mean that it\u2019s changed my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCyrus also got candid about how her attempt at sobriety around the time of her 2020 album Plastic Hearts<\/em> went awry. \u201cI know I needed to fall one more time,\u201d she explained. \u201cI just, I had to. It just never would have happened this way. I just never would have been sitting here. There were times in that section \u2026 I\u2019m not proud of them. Definitely not my best moments, not some of my best work, any of that. But it all led me to writing \u2018Flowers,\u2019 which then was some sort of key right into the lock of all healing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReleased in 2023 as the lead single from Endless Summer Vacation<\/em>, \u201cFlowers\u201d spent eight weeks atop the Hot 100<\/a> \u2014 completely blowing past the run of Cyrus\u2019 only other No. 1 single so far, \u201cWrecking Ball,\u201d which remained at the chart\u2019s summit for three weeks in 2013. The self-love anthem would go on to win the Hannah Montana <\/em>alum her first-ever Grammys \u2014 best pop solo performance and record of the year \u2014 at the 2024 ceremony.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn her interview with Lowe, Cyrus said that earning the Recording Academy recognition was just as \u201chealing\u201d as writing and releasing the song had been. \u201cI think somewhere inside of me, I needed maybe to hold a trophy and just feel for a moment that I have something that I can hold in my hands that feels like a true achievement,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd so at the Grammys, that\u2019s why I went, it was actually for healing.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe moment was particularly fateful as Cyrus says she originally wasn\u2019t even going to go to the Grammys. In addition to suffering from extreme performance anxiety at the time, she also confided in Lowe that she was afraid to acknowledge to herself at the time just how much she wanted to win.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere was somewhere that I was avoiding this, the fact that it did matter to me somewhere,\u201d she shared. \u201cAnd so once I received my Grammy, I was like, look, when you Google me, it says \u2018Miley Cyrus, a Grammy Award-winning artist.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPretty soon, Google will also say that Cyrus has released nine albums, with Something Beautiful <\/em>set to drop on May 30. Led by singles \u201cMore to Lose,\u201d \u201cEnd of the World,\u201d \u201cPrelude\u201d and its title track, the LP doubles as a visual album, with its accompanying film hitting theaters<\/a> for one night only in June.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo days prior to her Apple Music interview, the \u201cWe Can\u2019t Stop\u201d vocalist also unveiled the Something Beautiful <\/em>tracklist<\/a>, featuring collaborations with Brittany Howard and Naomi Campbell.<\/p>\n
