Today in the Cyrus universe, the 30-year-old actress and musician released her latest single, “Used To Be Young,” just months after releasing her hit album, “Endless Summer Vacation.”
The former Disney darling also scored a number one hit with the album’s first single, “Flowers.”
Speaking of number one singles, the 25th of August will also be remembered in Cyrus’ music history: A decade ago today, Cyrus released the infamous “Wrecking Ball,” the single that brought the a- ahem- ‘wrecking ball’ to nowhere before. preconceived notions any music listener and follower of popular culture might have about the former “Hannah Montana” star.
Cyrus Reflects On Perceptions Of Her Past With New Single

“Wrecking Ball,” the second single from Cyrus’ then-upcoming album “Bangerz,” sees Cyrus swing naked on a wrecking ball. The power ballad is a serious departure musically from the LP’s first single “We Can’t Stop,” but not so much stylistically.

Cyrus has also surprised fans with the music video for the single, as well as her career-defining performance at the 2013 Video Music Awards with “Blurred Lines” singer Robin Thicke.
Cyrus is exploring this era of her life both personally and musically. Her hair is cut short, and she often rocks a space bun, and we often see her tongue get air.
“Wrecking Ball” could be seen as Cyrus’ attempt to open her heart and share her feelings, perhaps taking some time to break away from public perception of her stunning visual transformation.
While Cyrus seems to portray an open “I don’t care” attitude, she is certainly influenced by the public’s often cruel view of everything the “Bangerz” era had to offer.
‘Wrecking Ball’ Singer Keeps Her Just Growing Up

In an interview with British Vogue from earlier this year, Cyrus looked back on the hurricane that became her life in 2013.
“I created attention for myself because I separated myself from the character I was playing,” he told the outlet, according to Billboard. “Anybody, when you’re 20, or 21, you have more to prove. ‘I am not my parents,’ ‘I am me.’
A decade can provide the most time for reflection and growth. Cyrus has done both, and he has come to some conclusions.
He continued, “Now that I’m an adult, I realize how harshly I was judged. I was judged harshly as a child by adults and now, as an adult, I realize I would never judge a child harshly.” Cyrus has also been credited as saying “People love controversy because that’s what sells.”
The lyrics to “Used To Be Young” seem to reflect some of Cyrus’ understanding. He recently posted the lyrics on Instagram, which included, “Turns out the open bar / leads to heartbreak / and goes too far.”

Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” probably has a huge place in popular culture because it’s such a jarring departure from the Cyrus we’ve always known; it’s fair to say she achieved her goal of separating herself from THAT blonde wig.
Dolly Parton, Cyrus’ godmother, once revealed her thoughts on hearing “Wrecking Ball” for the first time.
He recalled, “I remember the first time I heard ‘Wrecking Ball,’ it hit me the same way it hit me the first time I heard ‘I Will Always Love You’ by Whitney Houston. I was driving, heard that one, and I almost broke down, and when I heard ‘Wrecking Ball’ I almost broke down again,” Parton said. “I thought, when it started in that chorus, I thought, ‘it hit me like a wrecking ball.’ I thought, ‘well, how great is that song?”
Rarely does a song bring ‘Wrecking Ball’ to popular music and culture. Growing up can be all about thinking about it, and the lasting impression you leave along the way. Happy tenth birthday to Miley Cyrus “Wrecking Ball!”
