Miley Cyrus just dropped a new tune, and it is rather clear that it is all about her recent split from husband Liam Hemsworth.
While the pop star remained largely silent about the breakup this past week, she decided to address it by expressing her feelings through her music. On Friday, August 16, she dropped "Slide Away," a heartbreaking single that talks about how the couple drifted apart after being together on and off for around a decade, as reported by Hollywood Life.
Miley starts off by singing, "Once upon a time, it was paradise / Once upon a time, I was paralyzed / Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights / But it's time to let it go."
She also points out that they are not 17 anymore, and that "everything changed" now that they're grown. The singer then states that it was time for her former flame to "slide away, back to the ocean" as she would go back to her city life.
Perhaps the most jarring part is when Miley addresses the rumors that she broke up with the Hollywood hunk because he had been "drinking a lot and using certain drugs." She has struggled with drug and alcohol abuse in the past, and a source told TMZ that she wanted no part in that aspect of Liam's life. Now, she appears to confirm those allegations in the new single, as she belts out the words, "I want my house in the hills / Don't want the whiskey and pills."
The pair had just tied the knot recently at a secret ceremony in Nashville in December 2018, and they left fans all over the world in shock when they announced their breakup this week.
