Why Miley Cried Filming “Used to Be Young” VideoYouTube

Last night, Miley Cyrus released the video for her new song “Used to Be Young,” an emotional ballad about her past. The video features her singing into the camera while holding back tears.

Literally me after watching:

The singer recently opened up about filming the video, saying, “I’m kind of a mini me of my mom. And so I could see her inside of the camera by using a technology where I could livestream with my mom from inside the camera, so we could see each other. And as she was dancing it just made me cry, it made me laugh, it brought up so many real emotions. And I think it’s really letting people in to true emotion, which I don’t feel we get to see very much these days.”

We have a full explainer on Cyrus’s “Used to Be Young” lyrics right this way, but you can check them out below (courtesy of Genius):

[Verse 1]
The truth is bulletproof, there’s no foolin’ you
I don’t dress the same
Me and who you say I was yesterday
Have gone our separate ways
Left my livin’ fast somewhere in the past
'Cause that's for chasin' cars
Turns out open bars lead to broken hearts
And goin' way too far

[Chorus]
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That's fine, I've had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That's 'causе I used to be young

[Verse 2]
Take onе, pour it out, it's not worth cryin' 'bout
The things you can't erase
Like tattoos and regrets, words I never meant
And ones that got away
Left my livin' fast somewhere in the past
And took another road
Turns out crowded rooms empty out as soon
There's somewhere else to go, oh

[Chorus]
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That's fine, I've had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That's 'cause I used to be young

[Bridge]
Oh
Oh
Oh woah, oh woah
Oh woah, oh, yeah
Woah
Woah
Oh woah, oh woah
Oh woah, oh

[Chorus]
I know I used to be crazy
Messed up, but, God, was it fun
I know I used to be wild
That's 'cause I used to be young
Those wasted nights are not wasted
I remember every one
I know I used to be crazy
That's 'cause I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That's fine, I've had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That's 'cause I used to be young
