64 Miley Cyrus Lyrics That Will Make You *Feel Things* (Including “Bass Persuades” — and Hannah Montana, Obviously!)

As a longtime Miley Cyrus fan, I was so excited when her new album, Bass Persuades, dropped on September 18. It immediately made me think back to all the Miley songs I’ve loved and how I grew up alongside her music. From dancing around with friends to summer drives where we sang our hearts out to “Flowers” after a breakup, her music has always seemed to find its way into each new chapter of my life — and Miley’s lyrics are perfect for captioning the memories I’ve made along the way.

What I love most about Miley — who is entering this new era on a first-name basis — is how her music distinctly captures the feelings of growing up: finding your confidence, navigating crushes and heartbreak, and figuring out who you are. As a college student growing into myself, I find myself coming back to her music for that exact reason.
