Cyrus added in her statement, “I feel a sense of pride when reflecting on my past and an undeniable optimism when contemplating the future. I am incredibly grateful to my loyal fans who continuously make my dreams a reality. Your unwavering support gives me the strength and stability to pursue my ambitions. This song is dedicated to all of you.”
The chorus of the song poignantly captures Cyrus’ sentiments: “I know I used to be crazy / I know I used to be fun / You say I used to be wild / but I say I used to be young / You tell me time has done changed me / That’s fine I’ve had a good run / I know I used to be crazy / That’s cause I used to be young.”

Cyrus further elaborated on the emotional impact of the music video, sharing, “It’s an incredibly emotional experience because I see myself as a reflection of my mom. By using technology that allows for livestreaming and interacting with my mom within the camera, I could witness her dancing, which evoked a myriad of emotions in me. It made me cry, it made me laugh, and it brought forth such real emotions. I believe this video allows people to truly connect with raw emotions, something that is often lacking in today’s world.”
Additionally, Cyrus’ TV special event “Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions)” is now available for streaming on Hulu.
