Miley Cyrus released More to Lose, her fourth single from her upcoming album Something Beautiful.
The video for the song also dropped on Friday and is a simple, black and white video featuring Miley singing about a relationship that isn’t going well.
As the video began, the Grammy winner, 32, shed tears as she sang.
‘I stay / When the ecstasy is far away / And I pray / That it’s comin’ ’round again,’ Miley sang on the ballad’s chorus.
‘And you say it / But I wish it wasn’t true, oh / I knew someday that one would have to choose / I just thought we had more to lose.’
In the middle of the video the Wrecking Ball singer wears a sparkly, strapless gown and at the end of the video she’s dressed all in a black trench coat with a Batman-style head covering.

The song follows her recent three releases, Prelude, Something Beautiful and End of the World, all of which are also on the project.
More to Lose was written and produced with Autumn Rowe, Michael Pollack, Jonathan Rado, Shawn Everett and BJ Burton.
Something Beautiful is Miley’s ninth studio album and will be released on May 30.
Fans have speculated that the man Miley sings about is her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, 35, but she has never explicitly said who the song is about.
‘On a song like More to Lose, I tried to keep it a singular take,’ Miley explained in a teaser video posted ahead of the song’s release.
‘I added my harmonies or 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 overthought, or chasing perfection, she continued.
‘I never wanted More to Lose to feel perfect—I wanted it to sound meaningful and emotional.’
The first verse states: ‘The more I stay, the less I go/We’re toe to toe, but I’m hanging on the wire/Stumbled down the same road before/Say I’m leavin’, but I’m only playing liar ’Cause when you’re lookin’ like/ A movie star in a worn-out coat /Yeah, throw away my mind ‘And it happens all the time

One doesn’t have to look too far between the lines so feel like this verse was written about Hemsworth and her taking him back in 2016 after they split for the first time in 2013.
Miley admitted she’s overstayed her welcome as she tried to leave but couldn’t both in the song and in her marriage.
During a Q&A with Spotify earlier this week, Miley opened up about losing her house during the 2018 Woolsey fire in Malibu where she lost everything, but felt like it was ‘the biggest blessing.’
‘Losing everything and being able to rebuild and be purposeful and choose every piece that I’m going to collect—or also just about the people in my life,’ she explained.
‘When my house burned down, a lot of my relationships also burned down, and that just led me to such magic and to have so much gratitude.
‘I would’ve told my younger self to appreciate those darker times because, like I said, they are only leading you into the light.’
Miley and Hemsworth divorced eight months after their house burned down in November 2018.
‘I think what I would have told my younger self is to appreciate those darker times because, like I said, they are only leading you into the light,’ Cyrus noted onstage Manhattan’s Metrograph.

The three-time Grammy winner had recorded her first album in 2005 at Rainbowland recording studio located on the two-acre compound.
In 2023, Miley revealed she suffered anxiety attacks at the memory because she was on the South African set of Netflix’s Black Mirror when she heard her two-story home was destroyed.
‘Actually as my house was burning down I was strapped to a gurney with my hands locked in handcuffs strapped to a bed,’ Cyrus recalled on TikTok.
The very next day, the More to Lose songstress had to film her pop star character Ashley O’s dance-filled On a Roll music video, shrugging: ‘The show must go on!’
In 2021, Miley began dating Liily drummer Maxx Morando, who’s one of the eight producers credited on her upcoming alb
