Cyrus isn’t just creating an album; she’s crafting an experience. In a revealing interview with Harper’s Bazaar for her December 2024/January 2025 cover story, she explained, "The visual component of this is driving the sound."
"It was important for me that every song has these healing sound properties," the "Flowers" singer elaborated. "The songs, whether they’re about destruction or heartbreak or death, they’re presented in a way that is beautiful, because the nastiest times of our life do have a point of beauty."
This album promises layers of emotion inspired by Thierry Mugler's iconic 1995 couture show. "They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading. You can’t have a painting without highlights and contrast," she added.
Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend, Maxx Morando, worked together on the album.
Collaboration with Boyfriend Maxx Morando Elevates the Album
Cyrus’ creative process got a boost from her boyfriend, Maxx Morando, who co-wrote the album’s self-titled track, "Something Beautiful," and produced other standout tracks.
"I worked with my dad [Billy Ray Cyrus] forever. That’s how me and my ex-husband met each other,” she confessed. "I’ve always worked with the people that I love. And Maxx just inspires me so much."
Miley Cyrus enjoyed working with her boyfriend on the new album.
After starting to date in 2021, Cyrus is already contemplating her future with Morando, especially after her 2019 divorce from Liam Hemsworth. A source revealed to Life & Style in September 2024 that "Miley goes back and forth a lot about whether she ever wants to get married again, but lately she’s started dropping hints that she’s ready for Maxx to put a ring on her finger."
