Miley Cyrus has never been one to shy away from reinvention. From Disney Channel sweetheart to rebellious rockstar to soulful pop powerhouse, her career has been a rollercoaster of transformation. But her most recent evolution isn’t just about her sound — it’s about her soul.
On May 30, 2025, Miley released her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, a deeply personal and artistic body of work that explores growth, healing, and finding peace within yourself. For Miley, the clarity and creative energy behind this album stems from one major decision: getting sober.
“Sobriety is like my God. I live for it.”
In a recent interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Miley opened up about how sobriety has completely shifted the way she sees herself and the world.
“The sobriety is like, that’s like my God. I need it, I live for it. I mean that it’s changed my entire life.”
These aren’t just empty words. After years of publicly grappling with fame, identity, and substance use, Miley began her sobriety journey by quitting marijuana in 2017 and eventually cutting out alcohol in 2020. Since then, she says she’s found a new level of clarity — one that’s changed not only her lifestyle, but her music.
A New Era of Artistry: Something Beautiful
Her new album, Something Beautiful, is a bold departure from the mainstream pop that brought her global fame. Co-produced with Shawn Everett and featuring collaborations with Brittany Howard, Naomi Campbell, and her partner Maxx Morando, the album explores genres like progressive pop, neo-psychedelia, and art rock. It’s deeply introspective, filled with themes of inner peace, healing, and the pursuit of beauty in imperfection.
Accompanying the album is a 55-minute visual film premiering at the Tribeca Festival in June. Described as a “pop opera fueled by fantasy,” the film draws inspiration from classics like The Wall by Pink Floyd. In it, Miley takes viewers through a dreamlike, often surreal narrative that mirrors her emotional and spiritual journey through sobriety.
