I can't stop listening to it. I'm nearly 50 ffs. If the chat is true she has been very very clever.

I don't love the video but the song is really catchy

schnubbins · 21/01/2023 12:52

I am mid 50's and think the song is bloody brilliant! Lyrics are very clever if its a play on Bruno Mars song .

coffeeginandkindness · 21/01/2023 12:54

What is the chat? I
Keep hearing on Instagram

NewYearNewUsername23 · 21/01/2023 12:56

@coffeeginandkindness the chat I heard is it’s a play on a song her ex dedicated to her, the video was filmed in the house he rented to cheat on her in and something to do with the suit she wears in the video being his

AutumnOcean · 21/01/2023 12:57

Loving it in our house too. Very catchy

schnubbins · 21/01/2023 13:07

It is supposedly a play on the Bruno Mars song 'When I was your Man'
' I should have brought you flowers and held your hand 'etc
Apparently it was a special song between Miley and Liam Hemsworth during their marriage and this is her revenge song.
Great song though

ThePoshUns · 21/01/2023 13:46

I was about to start the same thread. I've long been a fan of Miley but she has surpassed herself with this song. I've listened to it 5 times on a loop.
Very clever response to Hemsworth. What a loser he is.
And I'm over 50 as well. Old enough to be her mother. I hope she tours in the uk soon would love to see her live.

ThePoshUns · 21/01/2023 13:50

Yes she released the song on his birthday.
He dedicated the Bruno Mars sing flowers to her when they got married so she is responding to that.
The house in the video os the one he rented to take women to to cheat on her.
The exercise routine she does in the video is his.
The suit she wears to fabulously dance in at the end is his too.
I think there's a sample of Gloria Gaynor , I will survive in there too. Genius.

MaryBerrysCamelToe · 21/01/2023 13:50

I love it, such an empowering song x

MaryBerrysCamelToe · 21/01/2023 13:53

Plus she looks blooming incredible in the music video. Defo inspiration to get fit!

JamSandle · 21/01/2023 13:54

I think it's a beautiful clever song.

TakeABite · 21/01/2023 14:01

It is very good

coffeeginandkindness · 21/01/2023 15:23

Omg were they married? What a love rat. Thanks for the info- off to Google

Needanewnameagain · 21/01/2023 17:20

Oooo I've not seen the video yet, but heard the song on the radio this week and loved it, even without knowing the back story. Such empowering lyrics.... sounds silly, but I bought myself a bunch of flowers this week just because!

StuffYouAllInTheCrust · 21/01/2023 17:22

Just been blasting this in the car. Absolutely love it! Loved Midnight Sky as well, She’s an amazing singer.

AnyFucker · 21/01/2023 17:25

Miley has matured beautifully. She made some iffy decisions at the beginning of her adult career but she is very talented.

She seems like a nice person too

WetBandits · 21/01/2023 17:25

It’s beautiful. I mostly listen to metal but I will forever love Miley! Her cover of Like a Prayer on her LIVE album is absolutely stunning. Such a magical quality to her voice.

Miley Stan over and out

MimiSunshine · 21/01/2023 17:29

The song is great but the ‘chat’ about it is just clever PR and marketing.

the Bruno Mars song was supposedly one Liam dedicated to her at their wedding. It’s a break up / heartbreak song. No one would play that at their wedding or during their relationship.

the cheating 14 times/ house but came from a gossip eZine a few months ago. Literally out of nowhere and with no corroboration, which is odd considering it’s an oddly specific number and what did he do, literally invite 14 women over for a weekend? Anyway it’s now taken as fact.

Miley herself said they didn’t end over cheating and that she’ll always love him but they don’t belong together so why would she need to suddenly get ‘revenge’?

it’s just clever spin. The people all over Instagram seemingly stating it all as facts are strange and easily influenced (the irony 😆)

HeidiWhole · 21/01/2023 17:30

Love Miley - she has an incredible voice, great new song.
Her covers of Jolene and Heart Glass are brilliant.

Iam4eels · 21/01/2023 17:36

The suit she wears is his from a film premiere where he told her (on camera) to behave for once.

The gold dress and swimming pool dive at the start of the video is also supposedly a nod to Jennifer Lawrence who admitted to kidding Liam Hemsworth while he was still married, she wore a very similar gold dress to a premiere and did the same dive in her perfume advert.

I'm in my 40s and also too old for this shit but at the same time I am loving it Grin

WolverineBlueyy · 21/01/2023 17:39

I think that house was where they lived in the Will Forte sitcom Last Man on Earth? Looks more glam here, obv Grin

MWNA · 21/01/2023 17:40

I'm crazy about this song. And her.
It's incredibly singalongable.

oh forgot to say that not one of these supposed 14 women have come forward for their moment on the gossip mag front pages.

liam and Jennifer Lawrence were rumoured to like each other while filming the hunger games and he was single, there was suggestion they were together while promoting it in Australia. Then Miley flew over and suddenly they were publically back together back together.

It’s just lots of half stories and PR placed rumours to make a good song even more hyped on social media

Whatmarbles · 21/01/2023 18:08

I love the song and Miley, she has a cracking voice that is instantly recognisable.

U2HasTheEdge · 21/01/2023 18:38

I love Miley, and have for a long time.

I'm so glad that she has moved on from her tongue-poking twerking stage. Although I loved her music even then.

Love the song, and trying to do the joker dance around the home.
