May 9 (UPI) — Singer and former Hannah Montana actress Miley Cyrus is back with new music.
The “Flowers” singer released a single and music video for “More to Lose” Friday, a song that she described as “more of a story.”
“On a song like ‘More to Lose,’ I try to keep it a singular take,” she said. “Add my harmonies or add ad libs at the end, but it’s really a song that’s more of a story and I never want that to be interrupted or over thought or chasing perfection. I never wanted ‘More to Lose’ to feel perfect. I wanted it to sound meaningful and emotional.”
In the accompanying black-and-white music video, Cyrus is first seen in a sparkling, feathered ensemble. As the song continues, she is seen wearing a strapless gown, and an outfit that includes pantyhose covering part of her face.
“I stay when the ecstasy is far away and I pray that it’s coming ’round again,” she sings. “And you say it, but I wish it wasn’t true. I knew someday that one would have to choose, I just thought we’d have more to lose.”
