She also said, “I was like, ‘Pharrell, I really want to change. I really want to have a big change” and assured that everyone around her would tell her no to do it, but “he was like, ‘Go for it today, tomorrow, as soon as you can. That sounds like exactly the perfect thing to do“.
For his part, the producer, Pharrell, said Miley Cyrus “was Hannah Montana at the time, and she was growing up and really wanting to experience life no matter how far the precipice was; that was her“, and no one else understood her position.
