Miley Cyrus has recently unveiled a new single titled “End of the World,” which is featured on her forthcoming album, Something Beautiful. Despite its ominous title, the song carries a surprisingly uplifting message.
Released on April 4, “End of the World” serves as a cheerful anthem, promoting the idea of living joyfully amidst uncertainty. In the lyrics, Cyrus reaches out to someone troubled by the world’s state, expressing sentiments like, “You woke up and you told me that you wanted to cry / The sky was fallin’ like a comet on the Fourth of July.” Rather than dwell on despair, she motivates them to embrace love, adventure, and festivities, suggesting that even in trying times, there’s value in optimism.
While it might be easy to interpret these heartfelt lyrics as a message to her boyfriend, Maxx Morando, they may also resonate with other important figures in her life. A fan who attended a performance at the Chateau Marmont noted that the song might have been inspired by Cyrus’ mother, Trish Cyrus.
The lyrics hint at Cyrus’ previous work as well, particularly with a line referencing Malibu, which could invoke memories from her 2017 song “Malibu.” This earlier track explored themes of personal growth and unexpected life paths, aligning closely with the message found in “End of the World.”
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Cyrus elaborated on her album Something Beautiful, describing it as a concept album filled with “healing sound properties.” She expressed that the songs tackle themes of destruction, heartbreak, and death but are presented beautifully, highlighting that even the toughest experiences can have moments of beauty. “You can’t have a painting without highlights and contrast,” she emphasized.
Complementing its lyrical content, the music video for “End of the World” is remarkably vibrant and playful. Featuring Cyrus dancing in a luminous setting adorned with a striking green Mugler dress, the visuals convey a sense of warmth. Fans online have shared their admiration for the video, noting its reminiscent qualities of ABBA and deeming it an ideal summer tune.
