Many songs performed by Miley Cyrus were inspired by her ten-year relationship with actor Liam Hemsworth, whom she married in 2018 and filed for divorce eight months later. The album “Bangerz” (2013), is steeped in statements about a relationship that, at the time, had ended.
Bansandose on fans’ interpretations and the artist’s statements, check out below a list of some of Miley’s songs that are supposed to be about her life together with Liam and help her understand the chronology of the relationship:
Adore You
I was engaged to Liam and completely in love. This is the justification for a song as passionate as the one on “Adore You”, the third single from the “Bangerz” era.
Wrecking Ball
Despite not being involved in the lyric writing process, Miley has already dedicated “Wrecking Ball” to her ex-husband.
“Every time you get in your car, you’ll hear my music on the radio“, the singer said during a show.
FU
From the “Bangerz” album, “FU”, short for “f*ck you“. In partnership with French Montana, Miley recounts how she discovered the betrayals of her then ex-fiancé.
“Everything seemed to be going good / I had found a love that I thought would last“.
“But then I accidentally saw some things on your phone / I even laughed / I should know“.
Maybe You’re Right
Miley’s fans believe Liam wouldn’t let the singer be herself and didn’t support her expansive behavior. Cyrus sang about a guy who thought she was crazy for moving on and leaving him behind.
“You must think I’m crazy / That I’m lost and foolish / Leaving you behind / Maybe you’re right“.
Rooting for My Baby
According to Miley’s lyrics, Liam Hemsworth’s mood was not the best. In “Rooting for My Baby”, she hopes that her partner will be fine and overcome an anger crisis.
Space Bootz
Liam’s alleged bad mood also shows up in the romantic “Space Bootz,” in which Miley, in the midst of the “Dead Petz” era, goes over the guy she’s in love with and misses in her everyday life.
“Space boy, in his space boots / To deal with his mood swings, I gotta get high / But maybe I’m the problem, and I gotta change my outlook“.
I Get So Scare
Miley shows all her vulnerability in an honest letter about how she felt after the end of her relationship.
“They say love grows, but I just watched it die“.
“It scares me so much to think that I’ll never get over you“.
Malibu
“Malibu” is another declaration of love for Liam, with whom the singer had resumed at the time. The couple went to live in a mansion in the Californian city that gives its name to the song.
“I would never believe it if you told me three years ago that I’d be here, writing this song. But here I am, next to you, the sky is so blue…
in Malibu“.
I Would Die For You
In this song from the album “Younger Now“, Miley leaves a message for her beloved: “I would die for you”.
“How could I have never told you/ That you’re everything to me/ You’re the sweetest and best of any childhood dream“.

Slide Away
This loose single was released a few days after the announcement of Miley and Liam’s divorce. The lyrics speak of a relationship that needed to end so the performer could be happy elsewhere.
“Move on, we’re not 17 anymore / I’m not who I used to be / You say everything’s different / You’re right, we’re adults now“.
WTF Do I Know
“WTF Do I Know” is one of the most beloved songs from the album “Plastic Hearts” (2020), released already after the couple’s final end.
“Am I wrong to move on? And I didn’t even miss you / I thought it would be you till I died / But I let it go / What do I know? I’m alone“.
