Miley Cyrus new single has officially dropped, and fans are already freaking out. The track, titled End of the World, is the third release from her upcoming album Something Beautiful, and it comes with a groovy 70s-style music video that feels like a cinematic time warp.
The 32-year-old pop icon released the song in the early hours of Friday, and from the first few seconds, it’s clear she’s in full experimental, genre-blending mode.
End of the World is a dramatic and emotional track that showcases the immersive, operatic vibes Miley has been teasing for her next album. The video is a visual treat – Miley performing in a dimly lit room surrounded by vintage lights and a full drum kit, giving off major disco-era energy with a touch of glam rock. It’s moody, theatrical, and totally Miley.
The release of this new single follows Prelude and the title track Something Beautiful, both of which dropped earlier this week and set the tone for what’s shaping up to be one of Miley’s boldest musical eras. According to her team, End of the World is officially the first single from the album, despite the other two tracks hitting streaming platforms earlier.
On Instagram, Miley’s team shared a teaser of the music video and wrote, “Miley Cyrus unveils ‘End of the World’, the first official single off of her highly anticipated album, ‘Something Beautiful’, out May 30 via Columbia Records. The new single ‘End of the World’ out now.” Fans instantly jumped in the comments with heart emojis, fire emojis, and the word “SLAY” in all caps.
Miley described her upcoming project as a “pop opera” and said it’s a full-blown audio-visual journey. Something Beautiful will feature 13 tracks, each one paired with its own music video, making this album more of a movie-like experience than a standard studio drop. And Miley isn’t just singing on this one – she’s also co-executive producing the entire album alongside Grammy-winning producer Shawn Everett, adding another layer of creative control to the whole thing.
After the release of Something Beautiful (the track), Miley hinted at the emotional and stylistic depth of the album. “This era marks another bold artistic evolution for Miley, blending music and film into an immersive experience,” said a statement on her IG page. It also mentioned her deep dive into fashion and art direction, noting that the visuals include original designs from Casey Cadwallader for the House of Mugler.
It’s not just about looks and vibes, though. The music is heavy with meaning. Miley told Harper’s Bazaar that the album is inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall, but with a glam twist. “My idea was making ‘The Wall’, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture,” she said. She called Something Beautiful a “healing” record and described her goal as being a “human psychedelic” for fans – changing their energy and mood with just a song.
It’s been over a year since Endless Summer Vacation dropped in 2023, which included the viral smash Flowers. Since then, fans have been patiently waiting to see where Miley would go next – and it looks like she’s going somewhere totally new and unexpected. With End of the World, she’s pushing her sound into theatrical territory, combining emotional lyrics with nostalgic visuals and rich, layered production.
As of now, End of the World is available on all major platforms, and the video is live on YouTube, racking up views fast. The full album Something Beautiful is dropping on May 30, and if these first three tracks are any hint, we’re in for something seriously special.
